"It's a great example of a restaurant that, not adopted, but adapted to match up with the French culture. Customers view it as a French restaurant."1

- Walt Ricker, vice president of media relations for McDonald's, in 2009.

"I think that we made it in France because the expectations of French people and the reality of McDonald's did not coincide. They thought that fast food was lousy, dirty, mostly for teenagers - and so on. But when they discovered McDonald's for themselves they soon changed their minds. In fact we are a family restaurant - where 4 people can eat for around 150 francs. Not many places can do that." 2

- Denis Hennequin, president, McDonald's Europe.
