Do the Northern French look more like Bavarians or the English and Southern French?

[Oliver109]

I would say they resemble Bavarians out of all groups except Belgians, the racial situation is similar, subnordics, alpines, Norics, CM types, what do you think?

Bavarians have wide noses

Northern French look Western

[Roy]

They actually very often are indistinguishable from some German groups.

Interesting, would you not say that the Germans are more robust though?

No. The French are robust.

It depends on the individual.

[Art23]

Agree. Northern French are basically southern Germans.

Normans (Norman meaning 'North Man') descended from Viking settlements in Normandy.

The Normans were a population arising in the medieval Duchy of Normandy from the intermingling between Norse Viking settlers and indigenous West Franks and Gallo-Romans.

The term is also used to denote emigrants from the duchy who conquered other territories such as England and Sicily.

The Norse settlements in West Francia followed a series of raids on the French northern coast mainly from Denmark, although some also sailed from Norway and Sweden.

Said settlements were finally legitimized when Rollo, a Scandinavian viking leader, agreed to swear fealty to King Charles III of West Francia following the siege of Chartres in 911 AD.

The intermingling in Normandy produced an ethnic and cultural "Norman" identity in the first half of the 10th century, an identity which continued to evolve over the centuries.

Normandy's name comes from the settlement of the territory by Vikings ("Northmen") starting in the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th century between King Charles III of France and the Viking jarl Rollo. For almost 150 years following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Normandy and England were linked by having the same person reign as both Duke of Normandy and King of England.

English? Not ( only individuals). They are much more like Bavarians ( Due to Alpine racial components whether West Alpinid or Subnordid, and to a lesser extent Borreby components as well).

Oh indeed, northern France does lean more south-central Germanic more than anything from cuisine to architecture and general culture too.
