The French Secret

It’s no secret that we here at the French Secret are more than somewhat obsessed with Catherine Deneuve. So in the spirit of that obsession, here are two very recent pictures of La Deneuve at the Cannes Film Festival.

I have to say, that for a woman of 62 she looks great. One thing that’s really helped her age well, aside from spectacular genetics, is that she hasn’t let herself get too skinny.

Yes, it seems somewhat contradictory to be talking about not being too skinny at a blog that spends a good deal of time considering the latest French diet fads, but there you have it. Look at the pictures and tell me that a couple of extra pounds hasn’t helped her keep the wrinkles somewhat at bay. Naturally, this isn’t a license to go wild with the eating. Moderation is, after all, a French diet virtue.

Here’s a picture of Catherine Deneuve with her magical diet secret.

Here, for your viewing pleasure, another picture of the 61 year old Catherine Deneuve aging well.

Catherine Deneuve should be the official mascot of this blog. She’s everything that this blog stands for, the meeting of French culture, French habits and French beauty.

Here she is at 61 looking better than most women look at 21. Yes, she started out nearly perfect, but time has not been unkind to her. Perhaps it is that chain smoking, after all.
