Quel est le mot francaise pour - hugging? Quelle est l'attitude culturelle francais a - hugging. Je ne demande pas a propos de bises. Hugging - mettre vos bras autour de l'autre personne et de leur trouant proximite.So far the comments and explanations have been from very helpful French speaking Canadians. I would like to encourage some French speaking nationals from France to give me their opinions, in particular about the cultural attitude to hugging. How acceptable or common a practice is it, or is it a social TABOO in France? C'est tabou en France?
