Classify two very average-looking Frenchmen

[Tooting Carmen]

While the French are indeed very varied in their looks, insofar as it is possible to generalise at all, this would be more-or-less the average look in France.

Atlantid & Western Mediterran - common in France

[Aëlwenn]

Nothing to do with the classification (sorry) but Emmanuel Macron has to be one of the smartest policy in France, far left ideas.
Here, small finish aside.

[The Blade]

The minister facially takes intermediate position between Atlantid and Borreby (visible in forehead).
He is surely more average looking than the other guy whose appearance is probably strongly influenced by the specifics of his occupation.

He's a bit too robust.
Anyway, Rugby players are always too robust :D

But aside from that, if you look at his pigmentation and facial traits, he is quite average for France isn't he?

[Ouistreham]

I can't say they are average.
They are rather two extreme samples.

Maxime Machenaud looks Italian/Spanish:

Emmanuel Macron looks definitely English:

But yes, all in all, their phenotypes encompass most of French types.

Yes.
Macron more in the Northern part, and rugby boy more in southern part ( rugby are popular in the south).

They aren't the most extreme ends of the French spectrum. Yoann Gourcuff and Jules Plisson would be more so:

No. Don't you notice they have strangely similar facial traits?
Don't you think that Yoann Gourcuff can almost pass as a swarthy Subnordid, whilst Jules Plisson could almost be a depigmented SubMediterranean?

Please forget that TA's obsession with light hair.
It's not that significant.

OK, how about Thomas Hollande and Clement Chantome?

I disagree. Gourcuff looks hardcore Iberian, while Plisson could easily be Scandinavian. These footballers indeed look like depigmented Meds, and Plisson is clearly distinct from them:

Yeah, this is pretty representative of the French spectrum I think.

[Sikeliot]

Atlanto-Baskid
Atlantid

Approaches Paleo Atlantid. Also has some dinarization.

[kiko]

1st guy: Atlanto-Med
2nd guy: Atlantid + Borreby

[Sebastianus Rex]

Atlanto-Med (with Baskid element)
pred. Anglo-Saxon (nothing borreby about his head)

[Timawa]

1. Atlantid
2. Alpine

[Odin]

1. Atlanto-Med + Dinarid
2. Atlantid

[barkoo]

1. Dinaricized Atlantid
2. Same here tend more toward Dinarid though.

None of them are regular French looking btw.
