See, the French usually behave themselves in my games as well (unless I'm the English, of course! ). Otherwise, however, they usually leave me alone--as long as I'm careful and keep halfway-decent garrisons in my border provinces. The only times the French backstab me is if my frontier garrisons are woefully under-manned, in which case I really have no one to blame but myself. So as a rule, the French and I get along just fine, as long as I don't present myself as too tempting a target for them to pass up!
