|
| Does a Frenchman still kiss a lady's hand on greeting? Has anyone any stories about hand kissing? |

Hi,
Most of the time, this tradition is no more applicated now. But you may find such tradition among a particular circle (mainly old noble families, most of the time rich ones).
I also know that it's far usual in Poland, where i get used to practice it.
Friendly...

Ohh.. So hand-kissing is a language of status.. I'd love to have a French man who kisses hands.  |

Especialy if you let him feel you appreciate it !

a sign of a true gentleman, I hope this won't disappear like any other customs that shows positively at a certain culture.

I don't think it's especially common these days. I can't say I've ever come across it, thought I wouldn't want a man kissing my hand!  |

| My husband kisses my hand when driving in the car and it always sends a tingle down my arm - it's lovely. |
