They Walk Everywhere
Don’t underestimate a good stroll—French women know that the physical and mental health benefits abound. “I force myself to walk a lot,” remarks Caroline de Maigret. “For example, if I have an appointment and I go by car, I park 20 minutes [away]. Paris is a city where you can walk a lot. Sometimes I just walk for an hour, if I have time, which is the same hour you would have gone to the gym—my mind is happier that way.”
