Pardon me but Poirot is a Belgian. Nothing to do with Some imagained Francophilia.
Also, he has aeveral unlikeable qualities.
Such as obsession with grooming his moustache.
If you are so bold as to wear a mustache

world of a very careful and thoughtful person so
grooming, waxing, trimming and shaping are a
necessity. IMHO. Oh and it keeps the little gray
cells engaged.
The French at certain time periods have been
thought by other nations to be quite logical so
French Detectives come to the fore.
