It doesn’t have to be true. It’s just that people outside France often buy this kind of marketing. It’s like in 90s in Russia everyone was crazy about so-called “European renovation” of their apartments. The materials and styles they used had zero resemblance to what you see in a quality Scandinavian or western-European home. Moreover, people who move from Eastern Europe get disillusioned when they see e.g. that many for-rent German apartments are crap(black mold on the walls is something very common). So in essence, these “country X” brands have nothing to do with reality. But stereotypes are strong especially if you’re live far away.
