In the continuation of rules of 3, here are my un, deux, trois favourite examples of the trio fandango the French do so well.
1. The Swing by Fragonard, 1767
A husband pushes his wife, who is the mistress of the hidden onlooker underneath her, high into the air. She relishes the attention as her slipper flies upwards towards a cupid, in what has been described as 'an orgasmic burst.' A menage a trois in which only the female knows the amount of participants.

2. 'She Came to stay' by Simone de Beauvoir
>Francoise
>Xavier
>Pierre
One of the most infuriatingly existential novels based on de Beauvoir's real life experiences with her partner Sartre. Jealousy, bohemia, restraint, it's incredible.

3. Jules et Jim. My favourite Truffaut movie.
