Mathieu Kassovitz - specifically in Amelie

I actually don't find that picture of Audrey Tautou sexy. I want to tell her to put some clothes on. And maybe hand her a croissant.

Posted by: tamatha at July 14, 2011 4:25 PM

Oh, and Juliette Binoche.

Posted by: tamatha at July 14, 2011 4:26 PM

Is that you, Dream Lord?

Posted by: Jay at July 14, 2011 4:31 PM

Hey! where the hell is ~~The Pajiba Ten~~ Mélanie Laurent?

Posted by: Blake Shrapnel at July 14, 2011 4:31 PM

Who was it that wanted to know what "rapey eyed" means? I would direct her to the picture of Cassel above. He is showing you the PIANO WIRE he plans to KILL you with for heaven's sake!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at July 14, 2011 4:33 PM

Gaspard Ulliel, come to Mama!

Posted by: MM at July 14, 2011 4:34 PM

Even when Cassel is doing something weird in his pictures, he's still the hottest thing around. I was prepared to fly into a rage if he wasn't on here.

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at July 14, 2011 4:34 PM

Irene Jacob.

I could never like Julie Delpy after "White".

(though "The Double Life Of Veronique" is one of the most boring movies I've ever forced myself through)

Posted by: Jay at July 14, 2011 4:34 PM

Hey! where the hell is The Pajiba Ten Mélanie Laurent?

Go ahead, call me perverse, but I LOVE that big ol' pocketed cardigan from "Inglourious Basterds", but then, I've a thing for the fall/winter collection. A serious thing.

Posted by: Jay at July 14, 2011 4:36 PM

YOU FORGOT CONNIE CONEHEAD!

Posted by: Julie at July 14, 2011 4:37 PM

Also, there are so many pretty men and yet I can't stop staring at Sophie. That face is ridiculous.

Posted by: Julie at July 14, 2011 4:38 PM

And thank you, Mrs. Julien.

Posted by: Jay at July 14, 2011 4:41 PM

Thierry Henry is a nasty hand-balling, cheating, lousy-mannered, horrible excuse for a man.

I fart in your general direction!!

Posted by: PaddyDog at July 14, 2011 4:43 PM

Do French-Canadians count? If so, how about Carole Laure?

Posted by: TheOtherGreg at July 14, 2011 4:43 PM

Needs more Gilles Marini!!! I love a smouldering, dark eyed man. Mmmm.

Posted by: noodlestein at July 14, 2011 4:45 PM

Mrs. Julien speaks the truth. Vincent Cassel is scary. I also agree that Audrey Tatou's not really sexy, so much as cute as a button.

Posted by: Malin at July 14, 2011 4:45 PM

If you're going for footballers, here (Henry) then don't forget the sexiest (and best!) Zinedine Zidan (http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/columns/hilary-alexander/TMG7912029/Star-footballer-Zidane-in-Y-3-campaign.html)

Posted by: gunnertec at July 14, 2011 4:47 PM

And maybe hand her a croissant.

I'll grant you your point. Ms. Tautou's face and hair are so pretty to me that it deflects a bit of my "I dunno, kinda skinny". But then, that just makes me want to give Amelie a sweater and roast her a chicken like that guy does with his grandchildren and we'd smile together at grand, simple pleasures.

And that movie ended with the most adorable "we're finally gonna do it" scene and I walked out of the theater and realized I was the only person who was alone. It almost killed the mood, but only almost.

Posted by: Jay at July 14, 2011 4:49 PM

Virginie Ledoyen + Marie-Josée Croze

Posted by: sars at July 14, 2011 4:50 PM

not really sexy, so much as cute as a button

Why are you splitting hairs? It's not necessary in my experience.

Posted by: Jay at July 14, 2011 4:52 PM

if les quebecois count...i would like to nominate garou...those eyes, that facial hair, that hot sexy gravel gargling voice mmmmm! oh, and hells yeah to louis garrell!

Posted by: blondefire at July 14, 2011 4:52 PM

Laetitia Casta will always be the most beautiful woman in the world to me.

Posted by: Todd at July 14, 2011 4:53 PM

Eva Green?
Monica Bellucci? - granted she is Italian born, she spent more time in France and even married #4 (from the top) on this list!

Posted by: strtwise at July 14, 2011 5:27 PM

Agree with gunnertec on Zidane.

I've always had a big thing for Jean Hugues-Anglade. Non Francophiles may only know him as the boyfriend from the original Femme Nikita with Anne Parillaud. He has the most wonderful twinkling eyes and he's very wiry. But I admit he may be an acquired taste

Posted by: PaddyDog at July 14, 2011 5:31 PM

Nice looking guy, Paddy.

Posted by: Jay at July 14, 2011 5:33 PM

this post makes me happy. that's all. thank you.

Posted by: studpup at July 14, 2011 5:34 PM

Is it just me, or does Louis Garrel remind you of James McAvoy in that photo?

Posted by: llp at July 14, 2011 5:37 PM

Ludivine! She's so gorgeous.

Posted by: valerie at July 14, 2011 5:41 PM

If you're going for footballers, here (Henry) then don't forget the sexiest (and best!) Zinedine Zidan

Zindane or the precursor to the Brian Wilson beard, Sébastien Chabal.

Posted by: branded at July 14, 2011 5:42 PM

Henry? Really? Barf. Please replace him with Zizou, I'm not the only one mentioning him.

Posted by: Flo at July 14, 2011 5:43 PM

No on the quebecois. That should be June 24.

Posted by: Pausner at July 14, 2011 5:44 PM

Not to imply that Chabal is a footballer, as he's a rugby player.

Posted by: branded at July 14, 2011 5:48 PM

The French are awesome. I don't care what anybody says to the contrary. Their government may suck, but so does ours, so there.

Posted by: Slash at July 14, 2011 5:55 PM

OUI.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at July 14, 2011 6:00 PM

I'm still gay, but dayum, Bardot got some cakes!

Posted by: Jerry at July 14, 2011 6:27 PM

Guillaume Canet, that is all.

Posted by: Tierney at July 14, 2011 6:29 PM

Eva Green
Laetitia Casta

And I know she's Italian, but Monica Bellucci has French citizenship - and how could anyone pass up the opportunity to show her some love?

Posted by: csb at July 14, 2011 6:35 PM

Thierry Henry could text me a pic of his package ANYtime.

Posted by: Stinky at July 14, 2011 7:14 PM

Yoann Gourcuff, come to mama.

Posted by: CC at July 14, 2011 7:42 PM

Mrs Julien I think it's more like a reminder to floss.

Posted by: Lily at July 14, 2011 7:51 PM

Brigitte Bardot. Full Stop. No more list.

(And God Created Woman. First run. Yes, I am that old.)

Posted by: PrintersDevil at July 14, 2011 8:31 PM

Romain Duris!!!!!!!!! and Marie-Josée Croze is from Canada

Posted by: liebrelunar at July 14, 2011 8:40 PM

And here I thought Henry should be remembered better for stealing Ireland's place in the World Cup.

Posted by: Joseph Finn at July 14, 2011 9:08 PM

Ooh...Catherine Deneuve. I'll be in my bunk.

Posted by: Robert at July 14, 2011 9:19 PM

The only thing about Bastille Day that kinda bugs me is it's the day I eloped with my college French professor. You'd think I would have thought that a Bastille Day wedding might foreshadow future... unrest in the marriage. But no, I did not think. (This is not the current cute Mr. Stinky.)

Posted by: Stinky at July 14, 2011 9:30 PM

"Do French-Canadians count?" If so, I nominate Caroline Dhavernas.

I'm sure you meant to type "Louise Bourgoin, posing as Brigitte Bardot" right? Since it's an homage to her famous pose...
(Elle McPherson did the same for Playboy)

Posted by: Nick at July 14, 2011 11:06 PM

Seriously, how can there be no Juliet Binoche?!?!

Posted by: scott at July 14, 2011 11:36 PM

I've never found Audrey Tatou particularly captivating, but that picture ... wow. Marion Cotillard is still miles ahead, of course.

Posted by: harlequin at July 14, 2011 11:45 PM

How about Charlotte Gainsbourg? She's kinda French, right?

Posted by: sailboat at July 15, 2011 1:13 AM

Hubba-hubba translates into any language.

Posted by: , at July 15, 2011 1:22 AM

And mathieu almaric

Posted by: Xoch at July 15, 2011 1:50 AM

I mean amalric, damnit. And yes i know he has buggy ejes but he's like michael sheen, suddenly the light hits and he grins, and I melt

Posted by: Xoch at July 15, 2011 1:55 AM

Wooo! We've got some hot Mother/Daughter SRL action going on here.

(Also- I find it hard to believe that anybody with the name Chiara Mastroianni- or, for that matter, anybody sired by somebody as definitively Italian as her dad, the great Marcello- could be considered "French". Just sayin'.)

Posted by: Marty at July 15, 2011 9:38 AM

Nice nip on, Aissa.

Posted by: logan at July 15, 2011 10:23 AM

I love that cheesecake was served for both preferences. Those are some delectable-looking men. I love a French man with a big nose and high cheekbones, and there are plenty on the list. But all of them are absolutely beautiful, male and female. I've always loved Bardot, she had such an effortless beauty that she still keeps today.

Great list! It made me smile this morning. Especially Thierry Henry in those shorts.

Posted by: Billie R. at July 15, 2011 10:58 AM

"I actually don't find that picture of Audrey Tautou sexy."

Agreed - 100% not her look.

Somebody pointed out earlier: where in the bloody hell is Juliette Binoche?

Posted by: samantha t at July 15, 2011 11:19 AM

I am NEVER going to leave my bunk. Chaud damn!

Posted by: Caspar at July 15, 2011 11:56 AM

Juliette Binoche is up your asses, people.

If I wanted to fuck a duck, I'd go find one at the nearest pond, not fly to France and stick my dick in Ms. Binoche.

Posted by: Kballs at July 15, 2011 12:15 PM

Clémence Poésy, In Bruges not HP

Posted by: jayco at July 15, 2011 12:20 PM

I just saw Beginners this weekend and fell in love with Mélanie Laurent.

Posted by: debbye at July 17, 2011 6:37 AM

No Juliette Binoche?
No Eva Green?

This list, c'est la merde.
