We looked at the French Basque country last week, now it is time to look at the other end of France, Pas de Calais

Good selection there, appear to be more Alpine and Med phenotypes in that selection, maybe it is because it is in black and white but there seems to be a difference, the photos above are from Hazebrouck, about as far north in France as is possible to go.

Like this family except for the woman on the top right could easily be from central or northern Spain

All these phenotypes may be found in the Northern French people.
1) Sub - Nordic ( Keltic Nordid + West Alpinid) or "Gallic type"
2) Borreby
3) Norid (Keltic Nordid + Dinarid)
4) Atlantid (Keltic Nordid + Atlanto - Mediterranean)
5) North Atlantid ( Keltic Nordid + Atlantid)
6) Hallstatt Nordid or " Classical Nordid type"
7) Keltic Nordid or "Iron Age Nordid type"
8) Anglo - Saxon or "Germanic Nordid type"
9) Dalofaelid (Cromagnid + Nordid)

The kids look rather central-Euro shifted, whilst the teaching personnel (obviously last pic) look English AF. It is interesting how far up that Alpine influence extends. However, this might be why French-Canadians seem less Alpine; they mainly came from the western parts of the country, the parts closest to the Atlantic. It seems Alpine admixture follows more of a east/west rather than a north/south division.

Only woman on left and male teacher look British, rest look more Swiss or southern German or north Italian

You might have a point. The reason why many Northern French get a pass in Southern Germany or Switzerland or Austria is because of the predominant Subnordid strain. Much less so Northern Italians though.

This French rugby player is a good example of a Subnordid type
