A favorite French recipe from this region involves melted cheese on little individual table burners, then eating it on steaming hot boiled potatoes with cold cuts. Mmmm, raclette! I miss that from my time in France. Come to think of it, the French know a lot about keeping warm. The scarf thing is very true (there's also a small obsession with Burberry patterns, or there was when I was there, at least). There's also a strong preference natural fibers, like wool. Another recommendation: small, localized sources of heat, like a space heater, heating pad, heated mattress pad (I love mine), or a kotatsu (heater/table thing that the Japanese use) can be incredibly efficient.
