Can any one tell me anything about regional accents. are accents a big thing here? which accents are considered more elite and which are deemed difficult to understand. Is there a north south divide or an east west or just based on the number of people a person meets or the standard of education.

Who are France's most eloquent speakers?

C"est comme Angleterre ! If you go south they speak more casual, de la nord quicker !! Listen to French Europe then listen to french Quebec ! The same with English, (combien ans vous habitez en France ?)
