The French are closer to Americans than most people would like to believe. Their historical origins are very similar (except on the religious bit, but even then secularism is quasi-religious and is used as a club just like religion is in the U.S.) and their republicanism gave a distinct flavour to their politics.
You're right, I think they are very simular too... Especially in terms of national pride/identity.. However I got the impression France's popculture and tastes was much different.
I'll have to visit again next time I head over to England.
