Beautiful Old Age in French

French women always look wonderful, wear stylish clothes, and even if their skin is not in perfect condition – they don’t pay much attention to it.

Because French women are not afraid of aging and feel great about their age!

American journalist Rebecca Plantier studied the phenomenon of beautiful aging in French women. She concluded that “beautiful aging” is rooted in a special attitude towards life and oneself that is characteristic of all French people. Moreover, money and its quantity do not play any role at all. It’s all about the ability to fill one’s life with pleasures.

Here are several secrets that, according to Rebecca Plantier, help French women be so popular around the world:

• An active lifestyle. An active lifestyle is part of France’s national culture, and they do not give it up as they age. French families ski and skate in winter, ride bicycles and rollerblades in summer, and jog in parks. French women do not exhaust themselves – they simply do it for pleasure.
• A sense of humor. French women consider a sense of humor to be the most powerful antidepressant. It helps them not to perceive the onset of their age dramatically.
• Good food. It is well-known that the French are obsessed with food. However, their culture emphasizes enjoying beautiful and exquisite food in smaller portion sizes. This helps French women maintain a wonderful shape.
• Spending more time on themselves. As they age, when their children have grown up and started their own lives, French women begin to pay much more attention to themselves. They allow themselves various trips for leisure and spend more money on themselves, buying more expensive clothes and cosmetics. In France, it is not customary to sit with grandchildren, and grandmothers are not free nannies.
• Social life. As they age, French women become more active in social life. They start attending various events, parties, visiting friends, going to theaters, and exhibitions. This active life keeps them always in shape – visiting beauty salons for haircuts and styling, getting manicures, buying more beautiful and expensive clothes.
• Wearing what they like. French women are not among those who stress about “age-appropriate clothing.” They can confidently wear mini-skirts and leggings at any age. There is no other country in the world where you can find so many older women in little dresses and tight-fitting jeans.
• With age, you can do anything. In mature age, some French women can afford more wine, cigarettes, and feasts. It is also believed that after forty comes a second youth, so there are no age limits for sexuality and sexual life. All this can be good and bad; it’s just that everyone chooses what suits them best at that point in time.

The most important conclusion that the American journalist made at the end of her research on French women is to be oneself and not to be lazy in living for one’s own pleasure. This is the manifesto of French women who are not afraid of aging and do it with truly French charm.
