The Gallic rooster French : le coq gaulois , Gallic cock is an unofficial national symbol of France as a nation, as opposed to Marianne representing France as a State, and its values: the Republic. The rooster is also the symbol of the Wallonia region and the French Community of Belgium. But a closer review within that religious scheme indicates that " Mercury " was often portrayed with the cockerel , [ citation needed ] a sacred animal among the Continental Celts.

Where better place to start than "making love". In school or at least growing up you'll no doubt be told "faire l'amour" is the term to use for having sex in French. But in reality if you listen to French people, at least the younger ones talking about love making and they often do you'll likely hear the slang and fairly vulgar terms "baiser" or "niquer". There are also plenty of nicer expressions to use. Obviously like in other languages the world of sex in French comes with its own slang lingo.
