* Richard of ''LightNovel/TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard'' looks ''exactly'' like his French actress mother, so closely that she can be mistake for him in drag, and they are both so gorgeous they turn heads and overwhelm people with interest only in their appearance.

* ''{{VideoGame/Overwatch}}'' has quite a few attractive women in its roster, but the most overtly sexualized is probably Widowmaker, who wears a SpyCatsuit with AbsoluteCleavage, high heels, and a [[MaleGaze very defined ass]]. She is, of course, the representative from France.

* French movie ''La Lectrice'' is built around the trope of "I read+I'm female+I'm French - sexy". in this farce. Miou-Miou plays Constance, an ingenue told she has a beautiful reading voice, who rents out her services as a professional reader. The problem is... people tend not to believe the only service on offer is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice who will read a book to you. The local Vice Squad, in particular, insist "une lectrice" is a code word for a more unspecified sexual service - as do many of her would-be clients. with one or two clients she eventually gives in and provides that little bit extra - but nothing goes as she plans it...

** Taken UpToEleven in the films, where the other schools sent single-gender groups to Hogwarts. Beauxbatons' delegation is ''all'' pretty French girls in chic uniforms who summon butterflies and blow kisses to the Hogwarts boys.

* Taking place in a region based on France, ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' features this in spades with some characters. Most notably Professor Sycamore, who, unlike the previous professors ([[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Oak]] was in his sixties and noticeably overweight, [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Elm]] was younger and slimmer but not as attractive or confident, [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Birch]] was a few years older (being the father of 10-year-old May/Brendan) and likewise overweight, [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Rowan]] is uncharmingly elderly, [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Juniper]], being a much younger female, scores higher) has a good physique, charming mannerisms, and is an all round good guy. His theme, featuring a violin, helps too.

* Julie Delpy in ''Film/KillingZoe''.

* ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'''s take on the Marine Nationale (so far) has this trope in effect through Richelieu and Commandant Teste.

* Parodied in ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'', where France is actually a HandsomeLech who often gets bitchslapped for being a pervert. He still manages to [[NakedPeopleAreFunny undress and]] [[BlackComedyRape grope (and some more) the other nations]], though.

* ''Manga/MarginalPrince'' is full of pretty boys, but the French guy Henri is the only one to have his beauty explicitly spelled out in his profile.

* ''Film/RioLobo'': Cardona. When (in response to being nicknamed "Frenchie") he exasperatedly tells [=McNally=] that he's half Mexican to, [=McNally=] joking asks if its the Mexican half that's been wooing Shasta.
* {{Fainting}}: Shasta does this after shooting Whitey, in her introductory scene.

* On WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Joe's wife Bonnie finds sleazy French perverts very attractive. One even tells her that with his accent it will take her three years to realize he's a jerk.

* The general rule in ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' is that if you are French, you will be ridiculously hot. [[HelloNurse Renee]] is described as someone who would be in ''Playboy'' had it existed at the time, whereas Huey and Sylvie even distract [[EvenTheGuysWantHim same-gendered]] [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer onlookers]]. Also Huey's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
