This action is expressed by the French phrase <strong>faire la bise<\/strong>. While the number of kisses exchanged varies by region, the most common practice is two kisses, one on each cheek, although it is not uncommon to exchange three or even four. In an informal situation, young adults will most often <strong>faire la bise<\/strong>. In a formal situation, it is necessary to shake hands with everyone. A <strong>bise<\/strong> is always given to children. Contrary to the hug in the United States, kisses are exchanged with friends and family members that one sees everyday. In France, hugging is reserved for more intimate (romantic) relationships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"section_9\" class=\"mt-section\">\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 class=\"editable\"><strong>Activit\u00e9\u00a0F<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nLes formules de politesse.

This action is expressed by the French phrase <strong>faire la bise<\/strong>. While the number of kisses exchanged varies by region, the most common practice is two kisses, one on each cheek, although it is not uncommon to exchange three or even four. In an informal situation, young adults will most often <strong>faire la bise<\/strong>. In a formal situation, it is necessary to shake hands with everyone. A <strong>bise<\/strong> is always given to children. Contrary to the hug in the United States, kisses are exchanged with friends and family members that one sees everyday. In France, hugging is reserved for more intimate (romantic) relationships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"section_9\" class=\"mt-section\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"editable\"><strong>Activit\u00e9\u00a0F<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Les formules de politesse.
