French Erotic

French (Français) are the dominant ethno-linguistic identification of France — about 50M+ in France of native French descent, plus the substantial Francophone diaspora globally (~5-7M+ Francophone-French descendants in Switzerland, Belgium, Quebec Canada, Louisiana United States, and the broader Francophone world). The French ethnogenesis traces continuously to the broader Western European Indigenous demographic substrate plus Roman, Frankish, Norman, and other historical population movements. Predominantly Roman Catholic historically (~50% of population, with substantial post-1960s religious decline) plus Protestant, secular / irreligious, Muslim, Jewish, and other religious communities. The French language is part of the Romance branch of Indo-European. The French national identity has been substantially structured around the post-1789 Revolutionary republican-laïcité framework. France's regional sub-populations include Bretons (Celtic-language-speaking population of Brittany), Occitans / Provençaux, Alsatians, Corsicans, plus other regional identities — these are not separately enumerated under the republican framework but maintain regional cultural-linguistic distinctness.
