The UK voters decided otherwise. But as far as I am concerned, as a Frenchman, and a European, the Brits are still part of the family! Like the Swiss and the Norwegians, for instance.
Treaties and politics are one thing (an the European Union can be disappointing at times as a political body), peoples's histories and shared experiences are another.

Your comment helps lift the cloud of depression, Hervé. Many thanks!
