== Damn too many pictures again==
Why each time I come here there are loads of not so relevant pictures on this page? Is this some jingoistic behavior to show how cool is France and loosing the main purpose of Wikipedia from sight (information)? It has been discussed many times before, do not add tons of pictures:
- in history: too many pictures, St-Bartholemew's massacre (not such an important event compared to the length of French history), coronation of Napoleon (not that useless but there's nonetheless too many pictures here) and Joan of Arc (a symbol of France but not so relevant on history) are useless pictures in a such a small section, the euro picture can be moved elsewhere: the most important event in French history has to be the revolution and the picture of Bastille Day is enough.
In Geography
- The pointe du Van, located in western Brittany: most irrelevant picture so far (what's the purpose of that picture? Is there any?).
 
Defence:
- ERC 90 Sagaie on the Champs Élysées for the 14 juillet celebrations: useless (again what's the point of showing a piece of weaponry that is to be phased out?)
- A pair of Rafale fighter aircraft: not so relevant
The CdG is the biggest piece of weaponry in the French republic while the picture of soldiers in Afghanistan emphasis on the French presence worldwide.
 
Agriculture:
Wheat fields near the village of Usson: lovely but does not bring much information on French agriculture.
 
Tourism:
- Two pictures is too much for this small question, either keep the Mont St Michel or Versailles but not both.
 
Religion:
- While I'm not sure a picture is needed here, I think Lourdes deserves the place above Basilique du Sacré-Cœur is there is to be a picture here.
 
Healthcare:
- Louis-Pasteur Hospital in Cherbourg: not representative of current healthcare in France
 
Culture:
- Christophe Lemaitre is the first Caucasian to break the 10-second barrier.: useless, it's a personnal achievement and does not represent French culture
- Overall there are way too many pictures of artists!
