“A cravat is the only item of named after Croatians. Balkan mercenaries were brought to Paris by Louis XIV. Their strange and exotic attire attracted the French bon hommes, who were wearing formal ruffs, and who immediately took to the simple and relaxed military cloth tied at the neck.”
![“[Trading] With the French one had to be especially careful. French oarswomen were known to take men aside, point to whatever they wanted, and then peel off their own shirts. It took great presence of mind to bargain with a half-naked Frenchwoman.” quote by Stefan Kieszling](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2c4/stefan-kieszling-34248_bargains_trading-with-the-french-one-had-to-be-es_1079754.jpg)
