"Paris is always a good idea," Audrey Hepburn once said, and I'm sure any Francophile would agree. When they're not cafe hopping in the City of Light or playing pétanque in Provence, any lover of France can still enjoy the je ne sais quoi of the country. For the holidays, give your favorite wannabe Frenchie music by France's 1960s pop princesses, Parisian eye candy, or books about the seductive French way of life. We have those ideas and more in this gift guide.
