Maraichinage

A Maraichinage is a prolonged kiss, often lasting for several hours. The term originates from residents of Pays de Mont[?] in Britanny[?], the Maraichins, who popularized the practice. It is the likely predecesser of what is now commonly referred to as french kissing. A maraichinage often lasts for several hours, and involves a profound exploration of the mouth of one's partner.
