The French are such a romantic nation are they not. Did you know that, since the verb to love is 'aimer' and to like is 'aimer bien' (love well?!) you cannot construct a imperative form of like. That is, you can only command someone to love you, not to like you (Aime-moi.). They are all about the passion...
And fitting into the whole love vibe are 'Papillons d'Amour'. Directly translated as 'Butterflies of Love' (note the truth that love the noun is different to love the verb) you would not wish to encounter these amorous insects on your Parisian minibreak. Mistaken you may well be for our classic 'butterflies in the tummy' feeling for this is what I would consider a misleading expression. Trust the French to romanticise pubic lice!

Ah, yes. Zee french and l'amour! Strange creatures. Did you know that while in their natural habitat some of them prefer not to bathe too often so as not to cover up natural fragrances? These apparently they value considerably as nature's little arousing aphrodisiac. (the scary thing it that this actually comes from a reliable source *shivers*)
