European Tribune - Comments - Roma are Europe's Least Popular 'Neighbours'

Roma are Europe's Least Popular 'Neighbours' | 22 comments (22 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Having looked through the footage, I found the French Gitans, in look and behaviour, to be far less traditional than the Finnish Roma. For them the bared chest seemed more de rigeur ;-). The woman also had bare arms. They also displayed far more 'passion' than the average Finnish Roma.

Must be the warmer weather.

Because, as afew will confirm, a bare chest is de rigueur among men in the Southern French culture. :-P
