Bastille Day (July 14) is quickly approaching, and that, quite honestly, means nothing to most Americans. But maybe it should. After all, the French holiday does celebrate a prison storming that triggered a revolution, which is undoubtedly pretty cool. We also think the 14 of July gives non-Frenchies the perfect opportunity to celebrate the nation's fantastic filles (that's French for "girls"). So we've collected a gallery of a few of our favorites.

It is true that French women can be some of the most beautiful women on the planet. However, like most of the French, especially Parisians, there is a certain level of arrogance that goes with that beauty.
For the average American male trying to score with a French beauty, whether she's famous or not, he can forget about it.
French women in general greatly prefer French men, Italian men, and the young "Omar Sharif" types of Arabic men.
English men they find too effminate, and American men too "un-cultured."
But man...with women like Eva Green and Marcie Marceau American men can always dream.

This was an excellent list. Especially with Noemie Lenoir, Emmanuelle Beart, Sophie Marceau, and Eva Green. But your forgot to add MONICA BELLUCCI to the list! Shameful...:-P Still a good list, though.

Monica Belluci is Italiano mon cher.
Nice list but how can you have the bizarre looking Marina Hands in, ahead of world famous beauty Alizée?
