Laissez faire, laissez aller, et laissez passer, le monde va de lui meme. It's the first French phrase I love to remember. Just sounds truly French, even when talking about the world.

I don't really speak French but I love it when I hear it

I've often heard that French is the most Germanic of the romance languages, as the local form of Lower Latin incorporated some Germanic downloads inherited from the Frankish invaders at the fall of the Roman Empire. But... what is considered standard French nowadays originally was the language of northern France, known as langue d'oïl, where the Germanic influence at the end of the Roman Empire was stronger. Southern France, where the Latin culture was more influential, originally spoke, and some still speak, a different language known as langue d'oc which is closer to other romance languages, especially Catalan. The fact that all modern French people basically speak the language of the north is due to historical and political reasons, but the linguistic divide was still pretty much the rule, except for the administrations and official life, until the late nineteenth, early twentieth centuries; this can still be heard in the southerners' accent, as compared with the northerners' accent, even if all speak standard French.
