A new report from the European Union finds the French to be one of the most pessimistic nations in Europe.
According to the report, on average, 49% of Europeans believe their country is heading in the wrong direction, whilst the figure rises to 63% in France, a score only surpassed by that of Greece.
It's an outlook that hardly correlates with France's status as a leading economic power, its popularity as a destination for international visitors and expatriates, or with the high levels of individual well-being reported by its citizens.
