Your pictures show a lot of people with Iberian, north African, jewish, greek origins (even if they have a native surname) and show more the multiculturalism in france than a real french look .

Out of the people I've posted, please show us who you'd regard as having a 'real French look'.

Unfortunately, it is a good example of how the current Parisian society are. Many Jews, some Arabs, immigrants from southern Europe and French.

But, unlike what many think, the Parisian portrait does not apply to all France, except for Marseille and Lyon, in other cities, politicians are more representative of what the French really are

Probably inbetween Northern Italians and Brits, though I have heard Parisians are the least representative French, due to foreigner ancestry Italian, Iberian

Dupont-Aignan may be the most representative of an ethnic "Parisian", the region at least, he s even born in Paris..and to me you can't mistake him for anything else.

edit : can't*
