French actress Catherine Deneuve is the grand dame of European cinema, and with her signature hair and penchant for couture, she's also the most stylish. 

Audrey Tautou proved that she was the most adorable person ever in Amelie, and continues to be everyday of her life.

While the French may not love everyone, everyone seems to love the French. And how couldn’t you? They’re a people with a penchant for high fashion, lots of carbs and guzzling wine at any time of the day. You can’t really go wrong with that. Tomorrow is Bastille Day, otherwise known as French National Day, which is basically their Fourth of July.

Although the politics and occurrences in France may be slightly confusing to some of us Americans, there’s one thing that we can all agree upon — they just produce ‘em hotter over there! There’s a reason people go to Paris to fall in love, and that reason is that everyone is really freakin’ attractive.

So, in honor of that, we decided to celebrate Bastille Day the only way we know how, with a gallery of the hottest French celebrities. The StyleCaster team, most notably our culture editor Susie G, chimed in with their favorites — so click through to see who made the cut!
