Would you say that it is much harder for many Irish and British people to pass in southern France?

I have noticed that many Brits and Irish look quite atypical in southern France, people in the south of France are not really pale and have facial features that are distinctly different, UP types are infrequent in occurence and very blonde or red hair is especially rare.

Most Germans dont pass in Southern France either so go figure. Was a few times there (not even the far South but Rhone Alpes region) and people wise I felt more like I was in Italy.

Yeah, especially if they are from north Germany and especially NW Germany, massive heads, big features and quite pale, the even fairer Dutch would often look atypical even somewhere like Lille.

Ok counting out Northern Germans who already are outliers in their own country. (NWs often looking Dutch or Scando and NEs oftentimes already having Slavic features) But I'm talking Central and Southern Germans here. Even in Bavaria I hardly found people looking as Southern as Southern French often do.
Interestingly from Paris upwards theres a somewhat sharp divide with people looking majorily Northern European.

Yeah even Bavaria has much more Nordid and CM input than southern France, while blonde people are pretty common in south France it is usually a darker shade of blonde, i have looked at images of Germans from across the country and everywhere you can find quite blonde people frequently.
