Sure, I am French, I've visited CERN, so I know a good chunk of it is in France. Yet it didn't occur to me that the web was invented in France. But to be honest I didn't think it was invented in Switzerland either. CERN is like the ISS to me, it's its own world, not really in a country. Most people working there aren't French. Tim Berners Lee is not French. And really who cares? Now that it's out of the box, you'll hear people say "we" invented the web. We already invented the minitel, let's keep it at that...
