To kiss or kiss encore? That is the question.

In Texas, when it comes to kissing, there are typically two options — the quick peck or the full-on tonsil hockey. However, Gilles Debunne, recently brought up an interesting point about kissing in France through his Web site combien de bises. In France, where kisses are given in place of the good ‘ole handshake, it appears two is the likely number of kisses you’ll receive. But, apparently the number varies. Here’s the 411.

Corsica - 5 kisses- I think my mouth would get tired.

Saint-Denis - 3 kisses - not so bad.

Biarritz - 2 kisses - the average

La Rochelle - 2 kisses - the average, encore

Luckily, there no place in France that you can go without getting at least one kiss. My bags are packed.
