Passion and romance are inextricably linked in the French concept of amour. It is everywhere in France. And when I’ve been wandering around Paris alone, I even get a few appreciative glances myself (just like the woman behind me; French men are equal-opportunity flirts)!

French men ARE flirtatious. But to the French, it’s all in good fun.

Sex without romance would be considered gauche. But sometimes the French have a unique way of conducting “flirtation.”
