Summary

This quote suggests a French approach characterized by a superficial experience of various things without truly delving into any of them. It implies that in the pursuit of a well-rounded knowledge or experience, the French tend to touch the surface of numerous subjects or activities, but lack in-depth understanding or expertise in any particular area. This could reflect a preference for breadth over depth, or a tendency towards a more superficial engagement with different aspects of life.
