    The people of Pays de Mont in Brittany were noted for doing what for a protracted length of time and what word did this originate?

    		They would get to know each other by kissing, often for several hours at a time. It was called maraichinage. See:

    		Yay TT. I wonder how a whole district got such a reputation for kissing. Interestingly, although the term "French kiss" was coined to insult the French, the term has been borrowed back into the French language as the verb "frencher".
