Bobby Sellers, how do you imagine Poirot's being Belgian precludes his

Francophilia is also imaginary? (In the latter case we'll agree to
disagree.)
Read the books, and you will understand.

It has been a few decades since I have read any of the Hercule Poirot
stories, but I don't remember any comment that he was a Francophone.
That he almost certainly was one was obvious.
I think you mean "Francophile". He is, after all, a French-speaking
Belgian. And proud of it.
