What do the Germans and/or French call selfies?

Don't know about the French, but in German you can't go wrong with Selbsties.

Selbstchen, surely. Which also has the dubious honour of having six consonants in a row. Or Selbstli if you're fancy?

Selbstli

That sounds swiss though.

In French, usually selfies. The Québéc French Language Office (OQLF) proposes "égoportrait" but I've only ever seen that used very rarely in more formal written contexts.
