Read a good book called something like: "Discovering France", which was an impressionistic history of France in the 18th and 19th century, with emphasis on the differences in language and culture among the different regions. One of the things you see in Mr. Beauregarde's blog is how extensively the state regulates the society and culture. This post at Strange Maps touches on both themes: the underlying differences and the homogeneity.
