Who would look more typical for France: Claudia Schiffer or Monica Bellucci?

[Tooting Carmen]

Since France is very much a composite of different European regions and peoples, I thought this'd be interesting to ask.

Claudia Schiffer, German model

[Bell Beaker]

Claudia Schiffer.

[Tooting Carmen]

Claudia Schiffer.

How come?

[MinervaItalica]

Monica since French are more Latin alike. Schiffer is too German, would pass in North France only.

[Tooting Carmen]

Monica. Schiffer would pass in North France only.

Really?

[MinervaItalica]

Really?

Ya rly.

[Tooting Carmen]

Ya rly.

I have visited Southern France twice, and in fact they were lighter and less stereotypically Med-looking than I first expected.

[MinervaItalica]

I have visited Southern France twice, and in fact they were lighter and less stereotypically Med-looking than I first expected.

Well, i've family in Lorraine, i've been there and people are not all blondes or German like people portray French there.

[brennus dux gallorum]

I think Monica. Maybe south Italians are a little less passable in France than Germans, but I think noone can fit better in most of France than central or north Italians

[Tooting Carmen]

Well, i've family in Lorraine, i've been there and people are not all blondes or German like people portray French there.

Yes I know that. To me a distinctive, if not necessarily average Frenchwoman would be Segolene Royal.

[Tooting Carmen]

I think Monica. Maybe south Italians are a little less passable in France than Germans, but I think noone can fit better in most of France than central or north Italians

I think the Swiss, Belgians and even the British rival Northern and Central Italians in that respect. :)

[brennus dux gallorum]

I think the Swiss, Belgians and even the British rival Northern and Central Italians in that respect. :)

Yes, especially in terms of northern France, Luxembourg probably even more

[Tooting Carmen]

Please vote people.

[Odin]

Tough one. :laugh:

[Ziveth]

Monica Bellucci for sure.

Do you think that Claudia Schiffer is the average / representative German phenotype?

[Tooting Carmen]

Do you think that Claudia Schiffer is the average / representative German phenotype?

Not necessarily average as such, but commonplace and distinctive for sure.

[nafz]

Not necessarily average as such, but commonplace and distinctive for sure.

Commonplace perhaps, but mostly in the Northern/Central Part of the country. Not that you can't find such types in the south, but they are not super common there.

I am not sure what you mean by "distinctive".

[Tooting Carmen]

Distinctive in the sense that her face screams German, whereas lots of Germans (as is the case with Europeans in general) could pass as lots of things.

[Mikula]

Where are French apricitians, now?

[Tooting Carmen]

Where are French apricitians, now?

There are a few, but they don't tend to post that much.

[nafz]

Distinctive in the sense that her face screams German, whereas lots of Germans (as is the case with Europeans in general) could pass as lots of things.

If I did not know where she was from my first Guess would be Scandinavian, my second guess would be Dutch and my third guess would be German.

So her face screams other ethnicities first, at least for me.

[Sikeliot]

Neither looks particularly French to me.

[caviezel]

Claudia aged badly. she should've listened to me when I said her to not sunbathe.

[Carlito's Way]

Claudia aged badly. she should've listened to me when I said her to not sunbathe.

its because shes white. if she wouldve been black, she wouldve aged much better

[Moonshine]

The second woman

['owight Gavnah]

I have visited Southern France twice, and in fact they were lighter and less stereotypically Med-looking than I first expected.

I've met French families from north, west France and sometimes they look completey different from the ones I see from the south. An average French would be bang in the middle between those two. I would say belluci however. She appeals to be more classically French looking.

[Hadouken]

Monica Bellucci I think

[Regnera]

Monica Bellucci,she can pass in S.France easily

[Streuner]

Claudia Schiffer

[Rouxinol]

Monica Belluci only common in Corsica and areas with strong Italian influx such as Provence, especially in the pays niçois area. She’d be off even in SW France, let alone in places such as Normandy or Picardy. Claudia Schiffer passes best on the overall. Still none of them is typical.

Ludivine Sagnier is a more widespread look:

[Rouxinol]

Monica Bellucci,she can pass in S.France easily

Only in Corsica and Provence due to the Italian influence.

[Deneb]

None

[guyinsf]

Yes I know that. To me a distinctive, if not necessarily average Frenchwoman would be Segolene Royal.

I guess the question now is is Segolene Royal the perfect median between Schiffer and Bellucci?
