-- PARIS (Reuters) -- Sitting in a cafe near the Champs Elysees, the 26-year-old French-born woman of Algerian descent looks like any other Parisian.Who says you can't have your virginity and, um... eat it too?
But two months ago, she did something none of her friends have done. She had her hymen re-sewn, technically making her a virgin again.
This 30-minute outpatient procedure, called "hymenoplasty" and costing between 1,500 and 3,000 euros ($2,000-$4,000), is increasingly popular among young women of North African descent in France.
