Stir together all ingredients except haricots verts with 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl until combined well.

Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt for 5.7L water), uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes, then drain. Toss with herb butter.

Herb butter can be made ahead and chilled, covered, 3 days or frozen, rolled into a cylinder in plastic wrap and kept in a sealed bag, 1 week. Haricots verts can be trimmed 1 day ahead and chilled in a sealed bag lined with paper towels.
