Keep in mind that the modern French still dont think even Caesar conquered them, they believe Asterix is the truth and that all of Gaul may well have been conquered, but a small village of indomitable gauls still held out against the invader, mainly through the use of magic potion!!

Hey hey hey! The Belgians (rather the tribes living in the part that is now Belgium) where the Last to stand up to Caesar while the other Gauls tribes where already conquered.
Caesar described our ancestors as "the bravest among the Gaul".
