While not many french that I have seen know how to wear the kilt, they do come up with some sayings that can fit the times.
So they don't have the élan to wear the kilt - But they can have the joie de vivre for words?
The good folks of Brittany wear the kilt, play the pipes, speak French when they have to and Brezhoneg when they can. If you've ever heard their music you know that their joie de vivre is merveilleuse.
A kilted Celt on the border. Kentoc'h mervel eget bezañ saotret Omne bellum sumi facile, ceterum ægerrume desinere.

Hey! You're right! I had forgotten about that corner of France........
Yep, the ladies like them. I am glad your experence was nice. Do you think you might be able to go kilted full time
Nope.
Quite apart from my wife's continuing (though slowly diminishing - I am working on it) disapproval of me wearing a kilt on other than official "Scottish" occasions (e.g. SCD) - and I do have to accommodate her sometimes - there are occasions when I do not want to stand out in the crowd (I'll leave those to your imagination). In any case I personally do like to ring the changes now and then.
Mind you I do wear a kilt fairly frequently - at least three days every week.
