I know that the French have a wide range of physical types in their population, the predominant one being a short, broad-headed brown-haired Alpine type, but could someone provide some pics of actual Frenchmen who represent the various types found in France?

Thanks for the pics guys. Maybe it's me, but quite a few of those people have Dinaric profiles, but with blondish/light brown hair and light eyes. Regarding this, I was also made aware that many Frenchmen are Noric (Dinaric/Nordic). Overall, from these observations, it seems that the French are closer to the Germans and Brits (especially central/southern Germans) than they are to southern Europeans. The exceptions of course would be the deep south and Corsica. Btw, those actresses were very attractive .

french is too big for generalizations like that Budy.
I visited champagne region, and they are more blond and "nordic" than dutch and english people.
Of course we are only using phenotype, we should stop using phenotype for guessing populations relationship...

Vitor I understand that exceptions exist but I was talking about the physical appearance of the average Frenchman as compared to that of the average Englishman, German, or southern European. The French as a whole are most assuredly darker than Englishmen or Germans. I think the photos of the various French people provided by SwordandCompass and GhostofRecluse illustrate the notion that the French represent a blend of various types, types that are found in both northern and southern Europe, but leaning one way or another depending upon location.
