Britons think French more sexy, but less interesting to talk to

LONDON: British expatriates living in France find French people sexier and better dressed - particularly French women - but not as witty or good company, according to a poll to be published today.

Britons who have settled in France say they are happier and healthier, seeing French people as having stronger family values, less crime and less stress, according to the survey.

"One of the main reasons Brits move to France is because it's a place where a sense of community still truly exists. There is time to chat and reflect on life," said Michael Streeter, editor of expat monthly TheFrenchPaper.
