I've read in How To Find Your Inner Frenchie self-help books that French girls are not so chummy with each other.
That they're more competitive than bosom buddies. I checked this out last trip. 
From what I can see they're just like us. 
When French Girl talks about her girlfriends, it's something sacred, a religion. Though we've known each other 4 years and I've stayed with her and brought her NY bagels and Essie nailpolish (it's cheaper here), we're not exactly 'girlfriends' the way she is with her French girl friends. I'll always be an extra-terrestial/E.T. c'est la vie
French girlfriends go shopping together just like we do. 
They wear identical outfits and have the same hairdos just like us. 
They yackity-yack on the Metro while eating like we do. 
They goof around after they've 'won' free macarons at Pierre Herme on Jour Du Macarons. 
They browse together and call it 'licking the windows'/leche-vitrine. 
They kiss-kiss/bisous bisous more then we do. But we give hugs.Sharing macarons is a universal among girlfriends.
I like this little video of two French girl friends chatting away. I'm not sure of every word and the subtitles are in Spanish Portuguese Catalon! but the actions are the same the world over are they not?
BONJOUR FRENCH AMIES!
