Hmmmm...not really true from my experiences there. Though their deodorant tends to lack some antiperspirants in France. That said, they do tend to stay a heck of a lot thinner. Always a plus in my book.
Well your experiences may be different. I related what I had heard from non French men and what they say about French women.
This is going back about 20 years...they may be shaving and using deodorant now ;>)
