Among the things that make me think the French have mastered things aside from losing wars:

coq au vin, cassoulet, foie gras, Roquefort cheese with Perigord walnuts, Pomerol wine...

Renoir, Degas, Monet, Cezanne...

Chartres, St. Denis, Notre Dame, Amiens cathedrals...

Hermes, Dior, Chanel, Vuitton...

Renault, Citroen, ... uh, scratch that category!
