How does body language vary across different French-speaking regions

The search results did not yield direct, comprehensive information specifically contrasting body language variations across different French-speaking regions. However, from general cultural and linguistic knowledge, body language and nonverbal communication do vary subtly across French-speaking regions such as France, Quebec (Canada), Belgium, and African Francophone countries due to cultural, historical, and social differences.

To provide a focused and concise answer, a detailed breakdown will be based on known cultural distinctions in body language and communication style in major French-speaking regions: France, Quebec, Belgium, and Francophone Africa.

I will now formulate a well-informed response based on typical cultural variations in body language found in these regions.
