If France is famous all over the world for its monuments and its gastronomy, it is also known for the suspicious hygiene of its inhabitants. Are the French the dirtiest people in Europe? To answer this question, XloveCam asked IFOP to conduct a survey.

“While the whole world is still steeped in clichés about the supposed dirtiness of the French, this survey shows that the worst performers in this area are their Italian neighbors.”
