"after the first sneeze, one says à vos souhaits which means "to your desires". If the same person sneezes again, the second response is à vos amours, which means "to your loves." Santé (health) is a more casual response."
I saw that in the Wikipedia encyclopedia section. But my french teacher says something else whenever someone in class sneezes. I don't know how to spell it but it sounds like "Tay Sway". ---she is saying à tes souhait, which is the informal.
"In French-speaking countries, the response to a first sneeze will usually be "À tes souhaits", which literally means "To your wishes", (implying, of course, "May your wishes come true.") A second sneeze is responded to by "À tes amours" ('To your loves'), and a third "À tes enfants" ('To your children'). To the first two of these the sneezer may respond, "Que les tiens se réalisent," ("May yours come true.") and "Que les tiennes durent toujours," ("May yours last forever") respectively." ---dictionary.sensagent.com/sneeze/en-en
