Wherever we live in the world, social habits play into how we communicate with others. In this video about some of my favorite French vs American cultural differences, we’re looking at how normal social customs in America are perceived in France. French and American social norms are different in a lot of areas, so let’s look at some American habits when it comes to socializing and see why they don’t translate to French social norms in French culture. These are my top American social norms that you’ll want to avoid in France. As I always say this isn’t a judgment on what country does things better or what is normal; it’s all about education and being more aware of French culture norms and prepared for your trip to France and interacting with the French.
