Flood lies or statistics? Dispel the most common stereotypes about Frenchwomen

We understand whether all French people really smoke, possess a good taste and never sit on diets.


We are accustomed to laugh or indign over the most common stereotypes about Russian women. But can we be sure that they themselves did not host the myths about other nationalities? We understand whether all French people really smoke, possess a good taste and never sit on diets.

1. Wear berets

It is not clear where this myth comes from, but if you go to Paris in November-December-February, you will not meet any takes there. Frenchwoman, in principle, prefer not to wear anything on your head. If the weather is completely spoiled, the bulk scarf is suitable to the top of the top or hood.

2. Possess a beautiful figure

Despite the love of croissants and other fragrant pastries from local pastry shops, most French women boast a perfect figure. It may even be considered those who visited Paris. However, this is a delusion. Most likely, fans of this theory have never been to the regions of France remote from the capital. Of course, compared with the US, obesity indicators are not so dramatic. But, in general, the weight of the average Frenchwoman is not much different from the weight of residents of the CIS countries.

3. Possess a beautiful taste

Paris is the abode of magnificent boutiques and fashion houses. Tourists who attend the most prestigious areas of the capital, certainly catch themselves to the thoughts that all French people have a sophisticated style. In fact, not all residents of this country can afford to dress as Parisians do.

4. Kouryat

Smoking in France has long become part of culture and communication. Those who are familiar with French cinema can confirm with confidence. But times are changing. A healthy lifestyle is cultivated everywhere in France. As in many countries, a ban on smoking in public places is introduced. So to meet the French restaurant in the restaurant, as elegantly shown in the movie, you will not succeed.

5. Do not remove hair on the body

In the early 1990s, in the era of the heyday of the third wave of feminism in the West, the rejection of epilation was a kind of form of protest against gender inequality. Naturally, such a fashion did not bypass the Frenchwoman. This is where the legs from such a common myth are growing. However, many times have passed since then. Now the Frenchwoman is no longer so categorical in their judgments. To the question: "Shave or not shaving armpits?" - Most of them will answer: "Shave!".

6. Do french manicure

It is almost impossible to find a French franger with a neat, ideally painted by the French manicure. This is contrary to their principles, because on such a manicure you need to spend a lot of time. Is it better to use this time with benefit? The most popular manicure in France is short-triggered, bare nails. Maximum covered with transparent varnish.
