Ла-Манш и в Африке Ла-Манш.
...Между тем поручусь, что я прав. Вы даже схожи с Жанной, в верхней части лица, — отец Лотар перевел взгляд на девушку. — А уж большей нормандки, чем Жанна, нарочно не сочинишь...
...Жанна покраснела, и Эжен-Оливье с новым восхищением открыл для себя, что румянец у нее английский, не теплый, а восхитительно холодный. Впрочем, если отец Лотар прав, то не странно, Ла-Манш и в Африке Ла-Манш...
Thank you all very very much !!!!!

The La Manche is the same wherever you go/all around the world
Or something like "La Mansh, the same old La Mansh"
Comes from the saying "Сало оно и в Африке сало" (meaning - it is so usual, no wonder about it, everybody knows that, nothing strange)

Or "she's still La Manche," if this is supposed to be her origin.
