Well sir, I'm from Lyon, so if by any chance you step by there, let me know, i'd be thrilled to meet you (and also to help you avoid tourist's trap places). And I'm not just being polite, real deal here ! x)
J'ai horreur de ce genre de vidéo ou l'avis d'UNE personne se vend comme l'avis général 🙄
The main problem with the "french hat" is that it's not french, it's basque XD
So it's traditional in the basque country (that is half in France and half in Spain), but in Paris, it's only sold and worn to tourists XD
Honestly the only times I saw berets in France is on caricatures of french people 😅
A Paris les gens sont stressés, énervés, individualistes… Puis avec l'immigration et l'insécurité, les gens deviennent vite vite vite nerveux… Paris n'est plus Paris.
We love Americans ❤
Qu'est ce qu'elle peut raconter comme conneries… 😐
I keep watching your videos and I don't doubt you made French friends or never saw a French person being rude to you : the way you talk (even in English) is more French than you think it is, you naturally debate things
if that makes senseand French people love that! You also respond very well to our humor, I guess joking is the universal way to make good friends 🙂On ne résume pas la France à Paris comme tout autres pays avec leurs capitales.
Si bien résumé, pour le travail, lieux touristiques de masses,etc.
Comme dit Mister'D aussi.
L'attitude est essentiel, ça se ressent très vite quand on ne parle pas une langue.
C'est le language non-verbal que j'observe pour tenter de dialoguer ou non.
Que ce soit en recevant dans mon bus des touristes américains (Nord/Sud) et d'ailleurs, ou, qu'en je suis en déplacements à Londres et/ou autres parts.
Les voyages forment la jeunesse, à-bas les stéréotypes, restons humains. 🙂
Hello ,
Thank you for your excellent reaction!
What you have to understand is that, generally speaking, for the French, respect for others is above all else. Being polite and respectful is essential!
French waiters don't expect you to tip them first and foremost, but to show them respect for their profession, for example!
I think it's the same everywhere in the world, saying hello, being polite and courteous, having a good day at the end of a conversation, apologising when you bump into someone seems completely normal to me.
I can assure you that even if your French is bad, if you're civilised, you'll always be very well received everywhere in France!
My English being what it is, I can't reproach you for speaking our language badly ….. 😅
If you're ever in France, enjoy your stay with us!
10:35 you know … "the customer is king" … but as a french people, i know what to do with kings x'D
My Favorit joke in Paris in Café or restaurant, is by writting Reviews on Google. I get a good service i’m satisfied, give⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but Write rudest Review possible against the to friendly Walter.😂
11:45 no D, she just forget the "baguette", so we all know she isn't french, that why !
Joke aside, people can dress how they want to, i don't think anyone care to be honnest.
especially in Paris I like to sit on the left in the escalator. no I don't hate Parisians, but they hate me
To me that "no english" sounds like someone who tried to say "i don't speak english", being really bad at it.
I mean, sometimes being in a rush he may give a bit more attitude that wanted, and coupled with being bad in english it turned this way.
He can also be an asshole ofc but well 🤷
this kind of videos about "secret rules" are generally click bait
Hello ( parce que je suis poli ), je suis désolé mais c'est pas tout les français en plus c'est a Paris ça m'étonne pas, a la campagne on est beaucoup plus poli que ça, faut pas abusé, honte au parisiens bye ! ( parce que je suis poli )😀🖐
we know her she s doing some french bashing all the time shes jying first france is the first touristic desttiation worldwilde
You will make friends cause you are a good guy, you are alright, it has nothing to do with where u from, but… yeah french usually love America 🤔✌👍
Indeed, your French is very good! I would like to speak English as well as you speak French ^^
The "Bonjour" part is true, when you say it's rude in any language to not say hello, but think of the number of times people say: "Excuse-me? Where the Eiffel tower?" Seems nice enough, but no "hello" so in French standard, it's rude and people will let you know, that why when French want to to ask something they say: "Bonjour, excusez-moi" ou "excusez moi" to get attention and will add "bonjour" once the person reacts. The Bonjour is the MAIN rule to know if you want to survive France 🤣
I love your reaction to this video, just to note one thing, you did not become 'friend' with those people, they were friendly, but not friends. Friends takes months / years…
I am pretty sure I did correct you once in a video a while back for some pronunciations or grammar 😛
You can answer your wife if she wants the American or French answer next time 😂
Hello, come in my city ( Annecy ) you will be very welcome, i guarantee you 😊
As a French guy living in Lyon, I’d be happy to be your French friend when you come back here ! BTW I really find it hard to believe that a Parisian restaurant would refuse customers who don’t speak French… I mean, when traveling in Europe, we're used to interacting in English to make ourselves understood, since it’s often a common second language and it's almost mandatory for service workers in tourist areas. Ok, one time a I had a caffee latte after ordering a garlic bread in Sevilla but honnestly we both had terrible accents and that experience was more amusing than embarrassing.😂
Bof, bof…je pense pas que les Américains soient les rois de la gentillesse. Personne n'est parfait dans aucun pays .
I'm a French-speaking Belgian and I had a bad image of the Parisians due to this reputation but when I went there everybody was very nice, especially waiters and waitresses. People will treat you well if you treat them well. I've never had any issue with people in any country.
Paris n'est pas la France… Ouvrez vos horizons et vous découvrirez la "vraie" France..
An old teacher of mine used to phrase it like thus: French are like coconuts, hard to get to their hearts but once you're in, they're really tender. Whereas some cultures (she was talking of India but I believe it applies here) are like peaches, softer outside easier to get to, but with a hard core.
I'm French, living in the UK and working for a US company for several years now, and this does ring true honestly! I've never really had a bad interaction with an American either to be honest, despite all the "Redneck" stereotypes 🤣 I do find funny though that Americans always seem to speak in superlatives: everything is Amazing, Wowzer, Awesome…and my British friends are like "calm down, this is the UK, it rains and we are depressed" 🤣🤣I'm just poking fun of course!
French here. I would love to hang out with you if you come to Grenoble, because I'm used to know you in your videos 😉
I assume that the current political situation is making things really worse but we will always separate politics and individuals, we know the average American tourist is far from the bully that occupy the White House… We want to keep our long time frendship alive !
It certainly would have been less sensationalist and dishonest to phrase it as a question rather than making an assertion. Like, "Are the French really rude?" instead of stating it in the question.
Petit morceau de vie à Paris avec un parisien :
– Bondjour, je ne parler pas très bien le france, I want to know where the Eiffel Tower is…
– Dans ton cul !
That's how Frenchies are rude… 😂
I’m French and I work with a lot for years and I can tell you that the rudest Clients I had were American and Russian. Americans are special because they look and they sound kind but they don’t say hello they don’t say thank you they’re just give you orders with a smile 😂
If you come to France, I'll be your friend. 😉
Really quick. 😉
LoL your french is not correct.
We don't want to hurt your feelings. 🙃
As someone from the outer suburbs of Paris (aka not a parisian but still called as such by provincials), I’ve always found it frustrating when criticisms directed at French people as a whole get retargeted solely on Parisians by Frenchies, sometimes even with the implication that the rest of France represents the “real” or “better” French people.
What’s interesting is that many of these criticisms come from people who haven’t actually spent time with Parisians. And also Paris and its surrounding areas are home to people mostly from all over France and the world, meaning that the very "Parisians" being criticized often are from the same places that some claim to be different or better. And sometimes, the criticisms voiced on Parisians are quite violent, yet coming from people who call themselves better than that. So… What's right?
When I moved to other regions, I noticed that those most welcoming to newcomers were often people who had themselves experienced some form of displacement. Which often times were people who have been to/came from Paris or other big cities or even countries. Meanwhile, long-established locals sometimes seemed unaware of the presence of newcomers or unable to interact with them without awkward situations, not out of unkindness, but simply because their communities function in familiar, established ways. The challenge isn’t necessarily a lack of openness, but rather that integrating into these circles requires navigating unspoken norms, which can be difficult for outsiders. Questions about what's going on or suggestions for change can sometimes be met with resistance, simply because "everybody knows this" or "this is how we've always done it".
I don’t think this is about one place being better or worse than another, it’s just an observation on how communities, whether in Paris or elsewhere, can be both welcoming in some ways and insular in others.I think one thing that's a given in Paris, is that because basically everybody is a visitor, nobody can assume everyone knows local norms, everybody is a potential new person and we need to reach out to them, and new people might act weirdly, or ask questions we'd never think to hear, as why things are done X way and not Y, and sometimes we might even like that and make a new way Z that combines the best of X and Y.
Your level.of french is actually quite good.
I mean, her buying the hat is really not a problem in itself.
Her linking its existence on her head with her failed attempts at making any meaningful connection is the problem. It's completely absurd, lol !
There is 2 kind of french people in france : Parisians and the others (the bad and the good ones)
