It's the biggest national holiday in France, so we're rolling out a big ol' list of French pornstars who have touched our lives in meaningful ways (you know, like Lafayette, but with smut instead of military support).
Basically, we're hoping to cozy up to these hotties by impressing them with our cultural consciousness. For example, we recently learned that the French don't refer to today as Bastille Day; they call it La Fête Nationale, the National Celebration. Another common misconception is that French is the language of love. Not so! It's the language of diplomacy, and everybody knows that porn is all about diplomacy. (Fact: 100% of poli-sci majors love smut.)
So, in the interest of strengthening the bonds between our two nations, we declare that you should fall in love diplomatic union with the following performers. We already have!

Katsuni
You probably already know and love Katsuni—if not from her time with Digital Playground, then from the countless other places she's appeared. This 32 year-old French/Vietnamese bombshell has been winning award after award since she started doing porn in 2002. We're absolutely obsessed with Katsuni, and now that she's a free agent, we've been enjoying watching her pop up in movies from different companies.

Judy Minx
At times Judy seems like a barely legal babe fit to be tossed around by big burly men, and at other times she's a strap-on wielding badass who keep her sunglasses on while lubing up her subject's ass. Judy is the perfect mix of adorable and powerful, and she struts her stuff on both sides of the Atlantic. She's even worked with Courtney Trouble, appearing in the ever-awesome lesbian romp that is "Roulette Toronto."

Jessie Volt
Jessie hasn't been around for long, but she hit the ground running last year and caught the eye of many a pornographer. True to her name, she brings great energy to every scene she's in. It seems like Digital Playground has definitely taken a liking to her recently! (Yes, they really really like blondes, but it's more than that.)

Liza del Sierra
It's silly, but we thought Liza was Spanish or perhaps Italian. Del Sierra doesn't sound French, does it? We're going off track. Liza del Sierra has been popping up more and more in domestic porn productions, and it's been great getting to know her through her actions, but we really learned a lot from watching this interview she did while filming Elegant Angel's "Anal Workout." She apparently likes anal sex more than vaginal sex! That's a nifty little fact, huh?

Natasha Nice
We didn't know Natasha Nice was French either! But she is: she was born in Fontenay-sous-Bois, France, and she moved to Los Angeles when she was three. Although she hasn't yet won any formal recognition from the industry, she's been nominated for awards at least five times, and her antics have captured the hearts and genitals of many of her elders. She was nominated for AVN's Most Outrageous Sex Scene for her part in "Rocco's Bitch Party 2," and on a related note of outrageousness, she was arrested and jailed for flashing in public in 2009. Never a dull moment!

Cecilia Vega
We developed a pretty powerful crush on Cecilia Vega when we saw her in "Joanna Angel and James Deen's European Vacation." Her scene starts with a little stripping for the tourists, then she starts licking up and down Joanna's body, and then all hell breaks loose. James jumps in the mix, then Steve Holmes shows up, and there is anal sex and jizz everywhere. This foursome is like a multi-stage rocket of orgasmic energy, and it's all thanks to Cecilia.

Lou Charmelle
James Deen says Lou Charmelle is his French girlfriend. Even though he says that about most girls he runs into, we genuinely believe it with Lou. If you've ever seen her Kink.com work, you know that she takes pleasure and pain with equal exuberance—even in the most submissive circumstances. (And if you haven't seen her Kink stuff, here it is.) So it's no wonder that James loves her; he's into the freaky rough stuff.
But as you can tell from the pic above with Manuel Ferrara, Lou likes the classy stuff, too. Speaking of Manuel Ferrara...

Manuel Ferrara
We know, we talk about this man entirely too often. But we can't help it! He's never boring, he fucks women into states of brainstem obliterating joy, and he's as charming as the devil.

A quick word about Explicite Art
You might've noticed that the majority of the pictures in this post—as well as others around Fleshbot—all come from one place, Explicite Art. That's because Explicite is one of our all-time favorite porn sites, run by the famous pornographer (and, so the rumors say, former children's author) John B. Root. We get excited every time fresh Explicite galleries show up—and believe us when we say that we've seen all of the old ones, multiple times—because they're constantly introducing us to new faces (who always seem to become new obsessions). Is it weird that we automatically think of this site whenever we think of France? Probably, but we don't care. Happy Bastille Day Fête Nationale!
