On reflection of the past few months, I realise that I have made some fantastic friendships with some wonderful french women. I am so fortunate to have met them. I would like to think that I can learn from them.
Here are ten tips; although they are incredibly over-generalised, there are strong elements of truth than weaves its way through my words.
1. French women are very well groomed. They embrace their femininity. Their hair always seemed to be styled up beautifully or they sport an excellent hair cut. I haven't seen any ponytails. Instead their hair is lifted with clasps. Frequently their nails are painted.
2. French women have great skin. They obviously moisturise; especially as the air is so dry, here in the alps. Here in Gap, there is a range of minimal make-up to heavily made-up. Whichever it is, it always looks very well groomed. The women have a natural and sophisticated beauty.
3. Comfort here in Gap, means skinny jeans or pants, a soft pullover, ankle boots and a chic scarf. Accessories are little pieces and the handbag is always understated. No track pants or ill fitting clothes.
4. They have very warm hearts. Their love for others is expressed through home made, fabulous meals, .... consistently.
5. The French women never snack, and they always seem industrious and energetic.
6. Smiles are everywhere. The shopkeepers and bus drivers have perfect manners. Greetings and salutations always prelude a conversation. I have never seen food eaten on the run. Food is eaten in the dining room.
7. Although French women work hard, they know how to keep the weekend clear for family time.
8. Children are raised with a firm, fair and fun attitude. In return, the children are respectful and loving.
9. The art of eating is done with grace and a sense of social enjoyment. They don't spit their food as they are talking, and they very rarely spill their food.
10. French women are trim, well-read, proud and fabulous.
Voilà!
