"Yes, the phrase "let them eat cake" is often attributed to France. It is traditionally translated from the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche." This phrase is widely believed to have been spoken by Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France during the French Revolution, when she was told that the peasants had no bread¹².

However, there is no evidence that Marie Antoinette actually said this. The phrase can be traced back to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's autobiographical work "Confessions," written in 1765, which was before Marie Antoinette became queen²³. The attribution to her likely arose later as a way to criticize the perceived indifference of the French monarchy to the plight of the poor².

It's a fascinating example of how historical narratives can evolve over time! If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask."
