i really like all things France and want to find a character that personifies France :)
Hetalia: Axis Powers is this during WWII.
France (フランス, Furansu) is an overly-romantic, carefree man. In the series, he is shown to have a long-held rivalry with England. He makes sexual passes at many characters. France explains away his long history of military defeats as a joke from God, but he believes he is gifted with his “charms” and his supreme cooking skills.
Girls und Panzer
Scandinavia and the World (comic)
It even has two Frances!
Hon hon hon
Pepe Le Pew is the first character that comes to mind for France
Jean Pierre Polnareff for me.
It’s only a matter of time before they make “The Polandball Movie”
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.
Asterix
and Obelix
I mean the Expedition 33 cast is basically French people.
Zis game, so tight!
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.
Street Fighter
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.
Punch-Out! Wii has you fighting caricatures of various nationalities
Civilization?
Maybe I am completely misunderstanding, but wouldn’t Marianne be the main character representing France?
