Nicola,
You have to remember that I am in Brittany, it's not typical of the rest of France, more like Wales is to England, it's also very rural. There are lots of galleries and exhibition spaces and from what i have seen they are very willing to give everyone a chance.
As for the attitude to portrait painting , I would have to say it is very much like the English attitude, and not really something that is widely popular, I think they have the same kind of reserve that you mentioned.
