"Bons baisers" used to be used at the end of letters to say "love and kisses". However, French friends now won't allow me to say it and I have to say things like "bisous" instead because "baiser" is now associated with sexual intercourse. The James Bond film "From Russia with Love" was "Bons Baisers de la Russie" in French. Maybe it's his fault!

Litterally, that means 'good kisses'.
That's an old expression that you use to say hello from somewhere, usually on a postcard . 'Bons baisers de Paris' or 'Bons baisers de Russie', like the Bond movie.
It's kind of old fashion and not used anymore.

it means good kiss though good kiss sound strange..
That's how the James Bond Movie From Russia with Love was translated into Bon Baiser de Russie.

"(good) kisses (from somewhere)"
Be careful though, "baiser" can also mean "to f**k"....
