Ah yeah, but their village is actually located in Armorica, which was the ancient name or ancient whatever for Brittany.

Of course, it's just a tiny couple of hundred miles away from Paris, and you get there either by train or by car very easily from Paris, so it's pretty much the same to you.
However, if you told the Britons they are Parisians...
I don't really know how they would appreciate it. Each French region just has their very own temper and traits.
That's normal and fair.
It's true that the French comics has some sort of easy lighthearted sense of humor.
For instance, beside stereotypes that are mostly innocent and cute, I always found funny the fact that fatty Obelix would be completely dumb because he accidentally fell in the magic potion as a baby.
Lol, the thing is the dude had a very bad overdose of their dope when he was only a toddler, then he is forever retarded as an aftereffect / aftermath.
It actually makes sense, doesn't it?
Their characters are always cool anyway. Even the villains (namely the ancient Romans) are not so bad in there.
