Pictures taken from France, facing Germany. 
Railroad.
The French wooden..beams give way to the German concrete beams. This erm....this shows the authenticity of France versus the post-industrial coldness of Germany. Yeah. 'Look at us and our pretty and perfect concrete railroads'. Pft. I bet those industrial German railroad tracks run all the way to Auschwitz, hrmph.
Roads.
Germany - tarmac is new. Often replaced. Straight, pixel perfect. All imperfection is a sign of inferiority, to be eradicated. Harsh and Teutonic.
France - bloody rundown mess old, curved, authentic. Imperfection is considered a sign of charm, of authenticity, of individuality. The warm embrace of Gaul.
