In France, we kiss on the cheeks (from 2 to 4 kisses, depending on the area you're from). But not everybody. We do it with family (even the cousin's boyfriend/girlfriend we've never met) and friends. If you're young or a student, you also kiss people you meet. You also kiss friends of friends, but it depends on how old you are.
Of course, it depends on your social class. I can't be positive, but I would imagine that people from the upper class are more likely to shake hands.
You shake hands when you don't know someone, usually when you meet your in-laws. Men shake hands, except in the south of France where male good friends kiss on the cheeks or when you are from the same family (but not your cousin's boyfriend, for instance). etc... It depends on people.
How about you?
