Pardon my French, but where the hell is Jules Verne? He is without a doubt one of the most famous and relevant Frenchmen in history.

What
Still less important than Molière and Balzac, which aren't on the list either. It's just a selection, and not a bad one.

Where does it say it's a list of every single famous French person? IF you don't like the list... write your own quiz. (Then watch everyone else come in and criticise it.)

Marie Skoldowska Curie is actually Polish and a neutralized French citizen so I'm not exactly sure whether she should be defined as a Frenchwoman or a Pole.

Well, Marie Curie did become neutralized after years of working with radioactive substances, but I think you mean she was a naturalized French citizen.

Marie Curie was born as Maria Skłodowska in Poland. Later, she married Pierre Curie and that's why she changed her name to Curie. She moved to France for her studies. Do you still think she's French?

I was in Poland this summer, and it was obvious that they are very proud of Marie Curie (along with Copernicus and Chopin). I can imagine some hurt feelings there when you make her French.

I was just about to say the same. My Polish ex gf would turn in her grave if she heard someone was calling Curie Polish. (Not that my ex is dead on anything.) :)

Great quiz. It would be amazing to have more of these but with other nationalities.

How come David Guetta is on this list but no French composer?
Chopin or Debussy, for example

Agree with this. Guetta is a tool.

Maybe because Chopin is not French?

Spelled out Charles de Gaul and didn't get it because I was short two letters. Come on!

Guillaume or Guillaume le Conquérant sould be accepted as this is his correct name in french. I did not get it because of that. It's a bit ridiculous.
