Yeah, the planet has a weird fixation with France. If someone had found one suspicious insect on the metro in Berlin, I guarantee you this would never have been a story.
My (biased, because I live in France 😉) personal take on the weird fixation of anglo saxon media on France is that it has such an amazing quality of life that they're jealous, and thus tend to fixate on news that says "see!? It's not that great a place after all!", i.e. bedbugs, national strikes, etc... 😏👻🪲

We've actually been asked that; even my eye doc asked how we plan to cope. Eye roll.
