We are not sure how common Eton collars were in France. We do note them being worn, but our archive of French photographs is more limited than our British and American archives. As best we can tell the Eton collar was less commonly worn by French boys. Many of the images we have found are rather forman and fancy outfits. We see Eton collars in many commercial post cards. Another suggestion that they were more of a fancy style. We do not see them commonly being worn to school as was the case in Britain. But we are not yet sure and here we need more information.
