Je suis timide mais je me soigne () is a 1978 French comedy film directed by Pierre Richard, who co-stars with Aldo Maccione.
Plot Pierre Renaud, a luxury hotel receptionist, suffers from a crippling case of shyness. He falls in love with Agnès, a guest at his hotel, but finds himself unable to approach her, mistakenly believing she is rich and famous. In reality, Agnès has simply won a contest for a "dream month" that allows her to travel from one luxury hotel to another.
Determined to win her heart, Pierre decides to follow Agnès throughout her entire trip. Along the way, he enlists the help of Aldo Ferrari—an Italian matchmaker and self-styled ladies' man—to coach him so he can finally overcome his shyness and declare his love.
