A new atlas has been published based on those sondages and statistics collected by the various organisations concerned. But the author suggests that by and large the atlas (and hence the statistics) is of no use whatsoever. Make up your own mind on the following:
Moselle uses most Viagra
Creuse is where you are most likely to win the lottery
Nord is where flying saucers are most seen
Champagne region is where 4 bisous is still in vogue. Two is most common and one is now extinct.
Herault has most wife-swapping clubs
Drome has the only industrial elevage of edible frogs in France - where 8000 tonnes are eaten each year.
