Well, I can't speak for France, but here in Prague a good way to spot foreigners and short-haulers ( especially Americans and Brits ) is to check out their waistlines, especially for women. You never see Czech women who are more than slightly overweight that aren't at least 40-ish, and the 300lb+ Rotundimus Maximii which to badly overpopulate the US are virtually unknown here. Neither sex here inclines to fatness, despite having US-brand fast food all over the place and a local cuisine that seems to regard salt, gravy, cream, and dumplings as each having their own Food Group.
And I would have to say that walking prolly has a lot to do with it. Praguers walk anywhere they can't take a subway or trolly to; only abut 15-20% of the population owns a car.
