i really like all things France and want to find a character that personifies France :)
Pepe Le Pew is the first character that comes to mind for France
Jean Pierre Polnareff for me.
Hon hon hon
Not specifically French, but Hetalia is straight up countries as people.
Yeah, I’d stay far away from this one. It has every power of WW2 personified as an anime boy. If I had the word hate… you know the rest. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan shouldn’t be turned into anime boys.
Does a webcomic count as a franchise? https://satwcomic.com/
And here are all of France’s appearances: https://satwcomic.com/the-world/france
Polandball would be another web comic like that. Although the characters are just circles with flags in them, so no idea how useful that is.
Asterix
and Obelix
Scandinavia and the World (comic)
It even has two Frances!
Pepe le Pew?
Flight of the conchords is 100% your typical New Zealander
The Kiwi / Aussie rivalry is great, we rip each other to shreds, but will stand up for one another if anyone else tries it.
It’s only a matter of time before they make “The Polandball Movie”
Civilization?
Dexter’s Lab but only for one episode.
Maybe I am completely misunderstanding, but wouldn’t Marianne be the main character representing France?
Punch-Out! Wii has you fighting caricatures of various nationalities
How about these happy little friends?
