Of course not. Paris is certainly not France. It is a fascinating place because of this. For someone interested in linguistics like myself and languages like you are, there are few European countries to rival it. There are many words, dances, traditions etc here where i live, inherited directly from Bretons in Britanny which is not the same France as Occitanie or the same France as Bourgogne etc. People speak Catalan, Ligurian, Breton, Occitan, Corsican, Alsation and many others right across the country. Nobody strikes more than the French and Labor Day/May day whatever you want to call it is probably more French than Garlic, Beret's and Strings of Onions
