As a French person, I really appreciate the respect of our culture that you show in this very accurate video. 😊
*Parisian accurate video
I just got home from Paris and a lot of my confidence came from watching all your videos. Paris blew me away for sure, but what really struck me was the character of Parisians. I was prepared for curt behaviour and armed myself w/a handful of french phrases like "do you speak english?" And voila, the moment I say this, I always get help or the answers I need. Whether it's in a Monop supermarket, cafe in Le Marais, even a random french lady in Opera Garnier, they were all friendly and willing to help, especially w/ taking my picture(I was solo travelling).
If they did not speak English, they would find a colleague to converse with me. I realize, Paris is just like everywhere else, you can't expect them to respond to a language they don't speak. It does not mean they don't want to help. I did not think I would say this but the French are among the most helpful and friendliest people I have met.
Out of seven children I am the only one who speaks a second language but all of us are nice 😊
My husband and I speak 2 different languages. He speaks Catalan and Apache, I speak German and Spanish. We speak English as well. I love France. Paris is magical
I’ve only had positive experiences in Paris. The first time I went with my husband, he wasn’t prepared for how cordial everyone was-especially the young woman working at the Rodin museum who told us not to waste money on a Museum pass because it was the first weekend of the month and most of the places we wanted to visit were free!
Thank you for sharing this!
That’s really nice to hear. We are planning for our trip next year and I’ve been practicing my French too. I imagine living in a city that is overrun by tourists probably annoys them a bit. I can’t say I blame them. They are only human and I bet a little courtesy goes a long way!
I was accompanying through Spain a couple who knew absolutely no Spanish. I taught them that, needing a toilet, they should enter a bar and say "Servicios, por favor." I had them repeat the phrase after me many times. Finally the moment came, and it was serious, so the lady ran into the bar, crying, "Cerveza, por favor!" Sometimes you just can't win!
After that she REALLLLY needed the servicios.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
In my experience, "Merci" and "S'il vous plait" are also essential ❤
Being nice is the same in every language 😊. And it works!
Bravo.
Patrick Rex, I believe people can feel our vibe, if we are open/ready for a cultural immersion.
Shops in France used to be on the ground floor of houses. Going into a shop was essentially going into a person's home, and just like you would expect someone to say hello if they came into your house, French people said "Bon jour" when they entered a shop because they were entering the proprietor's home. Shops are now typically in commercial buildings, not homes, but the tradition of greeting the shopkeeper when you enter a business remains. And just like you would say goodbye when you leave someone's house, saying "Au revoir" when you leave a store is considered good manners.
Yes, this is one of the most important things to be aware of, and it’s not just in shops, but absolutely everyone you interact with. You can’t just approach someone to ask directions without a proper greeting. You should even add Madame or Monsieur to the bonjour. North Americans will report that French people are rude, when really it is us who are being rude by not greeting people appropriately and by being loud or nosy.
@@missmayflower Absolument... d'accord !
Wouldn’t it be better to greet with Bonjour Madame, …Mesdames (plural), …Monsieur or …Messieurs (plural)?
@@maxbarko8717 Honestly Madame or Monsieur is a bit to much only children tend to add it. If you simply say "Bonjour" with a smile it should be enough to interact with people on the streets (you can also add an "Excusez-moi" when stoping someone on the streets to ask them something).
@@jeanguykhan129 Oh really. That must have changed in the past decades because I heard and did it all the time when I was in France. Even when entering a bakery people would say „Bonjour Monsieur“. I loved it.
My first trip to Europe was to Paris. I was solo, spoke a little college French, and I stayed in a friend’s apartment. So I lived like a Parisienne for 10 days. Everything you say is 100% spot-on. After a few days, it was easy to figure out who wasn’t French, and to tell you the truth, I caught a little attitude and started looking down my nose at loud Americans and boisterous Germans. I became French pretty quickly by living there. That trip to Paris was one of the highlights of my life.
You must be proud
@@roberturibe3150 language is very easy to catch up once you blend in. Everytime of my visit to france I came back home speaking french to my coworkers and my boss without knowing I was. And it's only a few weeks vacation. I learned in a french program at very young age till college. It does not take long to start communicating a few hours after landing.
guess what : being french but speaking german + english + spanish I surprised myself dreaming in english at night - sooo funny ! @@Hippy2021
I was very blessed to spend a month in Paris environs (Le Vésinet, near Versailles) in the 1980s as an exchange for having hosted the daughter of a French executive for a month in Kalamazoo, Michigan where I was living at the time. I was given a WING of their lovely chateau and enjoyed dining with the family nightly. What a treasured time. At that time, I spoke just a bit more French than I do now, and one of the favorite phrases I learned was "jeter un coup d'œil" when shopping in the city. So many smiles when I would say it, to the best of my ability, and that plus "bonjour" seemed to communicate the respect I truly felt. Respect was graciously extended to me and I had so much joy being there and being welcomed.
I live in Paris for 30 years now and must say that the French are not more rude than others. Yes, stressed big city people can be but that's the same everywhere (NYC, etc.), isn't it? ;-) Check out the much more relaxed rest of this beautiful country if your time allows!
I just got home from a 9-day trip in Paris. First of all let me say there were no bed bugs, no riots, nothing was shut down due to bomb threats, not that any of that stuff never happens. It just didn't happen when I was there.
I found the Parisian people to be very polite and helpful if I first attempted their language. Then they were happy to help me out in English if they spoke it.
Thanks to Colleen and Antoine for all your great travel tips and information!
et voilà !
As an American who has travel many times to France, this video is excellent. I have always found the French people very welcoming, very polite and have patience with language or lack of. Paris is special, elegant and a trip you won’t forget. Viva la France😊
Vive is enough, viva is spanish...
Anglo saxons tend to believe french is a sort of spanish dialect picked up on TV.
Vive la France😊
@@philwanadoo7435 bo, ça va, on peux bien pardonner une petite erreur comme celle-là. Il a essayé, c'est déjà bien.☺
@@paocut9018 On va dire ça mais les gens qui pensent que la France c'est Emilie à paris, oohlala et baguette béret il faut les reéduquer !
VIVE la France ! (not "viva" 😉)
Another video of excellent advice! I wish all newbies to France would watch your series. Regarding manners, formality -- Another thing that I advise people -- do not touch items in a small shop without permission. I once watched a young American couple make this faux pas in a fromagerie in the Marais. They were in front of me, blocking the narrow entrance, so I couldn't get their attention, but I anticipated problems. They didn't greet the owner, then proceeded to pick up and sniff cheeses. He told them in French not to do that, but they didn't understand. He finally lightly tapped the woman's hand away from a cheese. The couple scurried off in humiliation! The shop owner and I proceeded to have a wonderful time, with him giving me samples of cheese to try before I purchased.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel They may have been too embarrassed to tell anyone! It was at Laurent Dubois on Saint-Antoine.
You shouldn’t touch food items anywhere. It’s just good manners.
No matter where you go you shouldn't touch food that other people are gonna eat..
Costco members, I’m sure! Thinking all samples are for them 😅
Cultural differences are so exciting to experience.
I'm English and live in Manchester. Last year an American friend from Florida visited. I arranged for us to meet some friends in Liverpool for lunch. We walked 10 minutes from my house to a tram stop. Took a tram into the centre of Manchester to a train station (15 mins). We got a train to the centre of Liverpool (35 mins). We walked to our restaurant (5 mins). We had a booking for 01:30 pm. We didn't leave the restaurant till 05:00 pm. We went on to another bar. At about 10:00 pm we did the same journey in reverse.
The following day my friend told me the whole day had blown her away. The walking, the public transport, the sitting for four hours in a restaurant and even the walk from the tram stop in the dark late at night were all things totally outside her cultural experience.
I often say "Americans go to a restaurant because they're hungry; Europeans go to a restaurant as an outing".
This is all why I feel like EVERYONE needs to travel, not just to other American cities, but abroad, to experience that others live differently, and that we can all learn from each other. It is so gratifying and life-changing to be among people who simply live differently, and that's okay! :) @@AbiGail-ok7fc
As an American, I can tell you that this would have been seen in America as a waste of time. Restaurants here want you out as quick as possible so they can have more guests. Otherwise they might bring the bill and start cleaning the table. I think Europeans make the best of small moments like a lunch with friends. That's so great and I hope you never loose this "joie de vivre"
French are very sweet !! I used to know some French in my life & had a French boyfriend, too ! They're very caring !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
I live in France, not Paris but have been there. They don't worry about what other people wear, so wear what you like! I love classic fashions but love colourful dresses, as well as neutrals. Just be yourselves and enjoy yourselves
I've been a couple of times in Paris (sadly just got a couple of days each time) but the experience was awesome, Parisians were kind and offered help when we were in a bit of a problem (specially in the second trip when I traveled with a small group). Most of the people I interacted spoke English (even one or two that spoke Spanish, I'm from Mexico), that and my very poor French helped me having a great time. I'm eager to go a third time for a longer time.
Hello Mexico 🇲🇽 🤗 👍👍🙋♀️💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
I would love to go to Mexico - I have a very close Mexican friend, she married a german man and soon spoke german living overthere - when we meet (I french and her mexican we alsways speak in german - people STARE at us (she looks veryyy mexican, and I look very french ... LOL)
@@Maimitti Lol 😆 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
I am french, and i know more people who speak spanish than english. Spanish was meant to be my 2nd language, as i lived 3 years in Ecuador as a kid, but it rusted so much that i lost it. Still looking for the motivation to relearn it from scratch.
As a parisian I can say quite accurate video ! Especially in shops this kind of behaviour for us is basic politeness and i think it's one of the reason (not the only one ofc sometime our waiters are just as..oles) that parisians people can sound rude to foreigners especially americans. Just one little detail : Taxis are legally oblige to accept the card but with foreigners they sometime say that they can't etc because they know that foreigners have most of the time cash on them.
Yes, you conferm that this video is talking about PARISIANS not about FRENCH people. The title is not right.
honestly it doesn’t make any difference parisians or french, it’s more a french thing.
Walk in a shop in marseilles or Lille or any small village in France and order something without saying bonjour. Chances are the person taking your order will feel offensed even if they won’t show it.
ALL french people consider Parisians as a specific race of french strange citizens , LOL @@sophied.art-dp
I've been to Paris, lived in the USA 2 years long ago, living 10 years in Spain now. Given all that said, I have to admit your video was very accurate, respectful and nice. Really enjoyed it, you're a very nice american couple.
Took 3 years of French in high school 20 years ago. Had a lot of troublemakers in my class, so learning was difficult....a lot of what I learned has faded, but I was able to understand all 4 phrases you mentioned...plus some in other videos, and it is really starting to come back to me. Thank you so much for your videos. They are very helpful.
I spend my time at my home in Paris and in Sardegna! My American friends go crazy with the hours that shops are open in both places! I always inform them before they visit the cultural differences, but they don’t seem to listen! As a result, I must listen to their complaining! We are a very formal family and you can feel it at meals and the etiquette that we follow! My friends were surprised that we always use linen napkins and never paper; even on picnics, no paper products! As my Grandmother says: “paper is for one place: the bathroom not the table!” I run my home the same way because for me it is so easy and it shows that we enjoy the meal and it shows respect for guest and for the family and the great conversations we have at the table! We also have a basket to collect cell phones before the meals, because the conversation is at the table! My Grandmother tells everyone: “the table is the altar of the home and the Gospel of the day is our conversation”!My whole family find it very rude to be on the phone during meals! As my beloved Grandmother says; “they can wait till the meal is over, and if someone is dead; you can receive the message after the meal!” As she says: “Darling, you can’t bring him back so enjoy the meal and the conversationand she is right “! Enjoy life and take your time, everyone is in a rush; for what? Life is short so enjoy it, today could be your last day! Live for the moment, which many of my American friends do not! Even on holiday they are working and occupied about work! I try to tell them: relax, but they do not know how to! Hopefully, your visit will assist individuals in understanding the difference so that they may enjoy their experience in France and learn to let go and relax!
I recently moved to France and biggest cultural difference which I noticed was that French people are NOT arrogant or rude, despite the popular misconception. It's just that French people are NOT as humorous as expected. They often don't engage in sarcasm or witty humor unlike other cultures. They are more reserved, but are kind enough to help others.
I would like to add that there is a major difference between Paris and what is called « la province »: Parisians are very nice and helpful individually but don’t try to ask for something to people in the subway ! They are hustling and bustling, running after a bus, a RER or a train and they will not have time to answer. It is not a matter of politess or rudeness, it is just a matter of…time.
That is different outside Paris, people are more relaxed and really willing to help you even if they don’t speak English
@@pascalemoissenet9441 I agree with you 100%, especially the people coming in and out of La Defense at morning and evening lol.
I figured that was a misconception.
I'm not sure about that... Sarcasm and witty humor is fairly common, but as we say, one can laugh about anything but not with anyone. I think we just don't want to offend anyone by being sarcastic or witty, if we don't know the person. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your life here and wish you to experience french humor more in the future !
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Thanks to Astérix! The translations are incredibly poor, though.
Pharmacy tip is very good. I developed an issue on our trip last year and this tip saved me. Went into the pharmacy and the pharmacist was super helpful and prescribed a treatment that cured my malady.
My son and daughter in law are in France right now. We are headed there in a week. We are all from the Deep South. Think Tennessee and Alabama. My son said Parisians use bonjour like we breathe air and that they may be even nicer than people from the south! Watching your videos and talking to him has me so much more excited and way less apprehensive than I felt I would be.
He said Paris is so amazing that he wants to move his family there for at least a year when my grandkids are a little older. Coming from him that’s the highest praise any place can receive.
Parisians do use bonjour like Americans breathe air, but it’s so nice. I find myself wanting to say no jour to everyone even back in the US
Thrilled with the call out to the Coneheads reference.
Lovely! We are from Sweden and spends some time in France at least once a year! Your advices are exactly according to our experiencies. Bon Jour is always a door opener! Don't even think of trying to start with Good Afternoon or similar!! We are very seldom in Paris, we prefer the country side, but it's the same there! Start with Bon Jour, be polite and the rest will by solved by it self! Br Johnny & Ewa from Sweden
You Frenchies are the best!!! Thank you for all your amazing and informative videos. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺 . Visiting in May. I feel @ease now after watching your videos. Merci beaucoup 😊
100% Bang On! Thankfully I have a more "French" than American sensibility and sailed through my last visit with nary an issue. Parisians shocked me with how much English they were willing to speak after a simple "Bonjour!" That wasn't true 40 years ago. Almost invariably I said "Bonjour" and they said "how can I help?" For someone who wanted to use his language skills, this was a bit confounding. I more than made up for it speaking with taxi/uber drivers not native to the city, although they often spoke English as well. Interesting note: I found a good handful of taxi/uber drivers WANTING American dollars; but I never offered that, they asked. As for the suggestion that the French rarely, if ever make compliments, I was delighted to receive several from both wait-staff and passers-by on my ALWAYS non-sneaker shoes and some small detail like how I tied a scarf or some special item I wore. I found that slightly elevating my wardrobe, without over-fashionista-ing it gave this solo traveler a slight edge
I’m going to France for the first time in May 2024 from Australia. I’m finding your videos very informative and useful. Thank you.
Excellent. That's why we do them. We want people to travel here with confidence
Be careful with insecurity, u should visit Normandy, D-Day beach, Mont st michel
If you are in Paris on a protest day, participate ! : walk in the street without trafic, talk with people, it will be fun for sure, and a very good experience in French culture.
Ha! The French goodbye is like the American Midwest goodbye (takes at least 45 minutes). Great tips - the formality one especially. It certainly isn't being rude, just a different way of living. Someone also mentioned to us that tourists are part of their daily life in Paris, so they're not a novelty. No one will approach you if you look lost but will help if you ask (starting with "bonjour" of course).
Everyone we encountered was extremely kind to us - can't wait to go back!
What I found with the phrases, and I understand French a bit, is the French could understand me, but I couldn’t understand their responses. Honestly, the last time I was in France was many years ago, and I believe more French have some knowledge of English now. But to be prepared, I recommend knowing the words for the various units of currency, numbers from 1-20, and directional phrases (right, left, ect). You may not understand all they say, but if you hear a directional word (left) and a street name, it’s a good start!
now in Paris 3/4 of young can speak some words in English it can be more complicated with old people
I had anxiety when I went to Paris the first time. I told a friend "I don't want to stand out as a tourist." He responded "you're not going to fool anyone, no matter how you dress."
If you're a young person who loves fashion, being in Paris is your time to shine. Show off, by all means! The rest of us should wear what's comfortable (but not sweats or pajamas or crocs... I mean, c'mon! 😂)
(And, for what it's worth, I recommend that men be comfortable in collared shirts. The Disney t-shirt should be left at home. No one will refuse service if you wear it, but you'll literally feel the waves of humorous exasperation coming off people.)
Excellent advice.
Having lived in Paris for decades, I can confirm the info in this video in 100% accurate. Good job!
Watching your videos is like taking a Lovely little trip to France. I bet you are so fun to travel with. My grandmother was French and I was lucky enough to visit twice. I love the language and the pace of life. Merci!
We do have a lot of fun ♡
Your videos helped me so much for my first trip to France. And if anyone is still questioning the advice about not worrying what to wear-they’re right! Don’t worry about it! People really don’t care. 😊
Well maybe they don’t care, but I notice every body in French dress nicely
@@elenaagurto7962 Yes but most people won't look down on you if you chose to dress casual. They mostly won't really notice you, unless you dress really differently (which could be bad or good depending on how nicely dressed you are in the end).
Nice video. Regarding language, alot of Americans assume English is spoken by everyone around the world. 😏
I am Mexican and when I moved to the US it was a great adjustment because we are extremely social ( even to strangers, we kiss strangers on the cheek), now I live in Germany and they are also very reserved but I have encounter very friendly people.
We are also very friendly in the south. My husband jokes that I’ll hear the life story of someone, usually another woman, just in the grocery store check out line.
My wife and I always have Mexican food for our anniversary, Paris now has some actual real Mexican restaurants! Funny thing is that their flour tortillas, Packaged as tortillas, are much more thin and crepe like! In one restaurant we met a server who had actually lived and worked in our town in California!
Yes the French are friendly, just a bit isolated from our lack of their language, and a bit more formality. :)
@@penelopepitstop762 what south ?
South of France ?
That is the problem, even on a channel about Paris, people tend to think their little part of the US is the centre of the world and everyone knows about it...
Unless you are really mentioning the south of France and it is a bad joke...
@@philwanadoo7435 well considering the comment I’m responding to is talking about living in the US, I didn’t think I needed to clarify that. Perhaps in your attempt to insult, the “bad joke” is on you.
@@penelopepitstop762 I will answer like the vlogger : Okay...
When it comes to getting cash in a foreign country, I’d always go for an ATM as my first choice. The exchange booths, especially at airports, usually are a total ripoff with exuberant fees or really unfavorable exchange rates. If I have to use an exchange booth, I usually google the current exchange rate so I can judge which booth is the least expensive.
Very nice series. Thank you. Would love to see a vid regarding acceptable table manners - whether in a restaurant or at someone’s home. There are definitely some things which are completely unacceptable- I.e., eating with your hands, which many haven’t a clue about. Even cutting salad lettuce is frowned upon - literally.
Just a few phrases can get you far! Many Parisians appreciate that you try to communicate with them in their language. Great video and congratulations on your subscribers 🎉❤
Bonjour! I am currently in Paris for 10 days. I watched many of your videos before arriving and they were so helpful. Merci beaucoup
J’aime Paris
ALWAYS say bonjour or bonsoir when you enter a shop! Always! Lol
Great video , thanks ! and you are very right about french being quiet or talk low in public , and this rule is veryyy important if you want a good contact with french people , especially if you want to live there. This rule is even a full law , nocturnal noises AND daytime noises are punishable. all of this is based on one and single law "the citizen tranquility". this is very important , and by just respecting that you will notice that french people will be wayy more friendly and kind with you. this is one of the reasons why french people have some troubles with certain ethnic groups , especially from Africa , they talk really really loudly , it is totally a cultural thing , in Africa they talk loudly and that is normal for them , but in France it is the total opposite , so this one can be a hard culture shock and french really hate that.Again , great video , simple , straight to the point , love it !
Superb video !!
Congrats on your first 100K!🎉 more to come Colleen and Antoine! You guys rock!!! Your fan from NY! ❤
Love your videos guys! You do such a great job. Merci!
Another great video. Love it. Thanks.
Hi guys, great video. You’re right about cultural differences. I am Canadian and we are kind of like the Americans, friendly, sometimes loud lol. My friends and I stayed at a 600 yr old castle with a count and a countess one time. Stayed overnight. When I first met them, I ran out of the car, ran up the steps and gave them a big kiss and a hug. Lol. Freaked them out a bit but I didn’t notice lol. Had fun. They were really nice people. As always have a good one eh!😁🇨🇦
Great video! As always. Clear and informative! Thank you guys
Another great video which I enjoyed watching!. Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful and insightful - you guys are great hosts! Merci bien.

You guys are awesome.
Thank you for all you advice ❤
Thank you once again for excellent advice!
I really enjoy these videos.
Congratulations on all your hard work you two! Relaxing with a coffee and baguette for breakfast, listening to your new video. Thank you so much for all your tips and insight into travelling. Had my first trip to Europe a few months back, and you’re video helped with some confidence and some great spots to check out. Unfortunately, was only there for the day but stopped up the boulangerie Alexine…sooo amazing!! Thank you for all you do. Love from Canada!❤
Lovely video and great information. ❤️
Thanks for sharing this video! I find this video to be very informative! 😊😊
This is as incredible video with such applicable information! Can’t wait to use it when we visit in April 🎉
Always terrific insights! Merci beaucoup!
Thank's for yours videos "Les Frenchies" !
I completely agree with the comment about public toilets in Paris. (10' in the video)
Let's be honest, there aren't anywhere (or they are broken, unusable, don't count on that)
(It's shameful for a European capital.)
If you have an "emergency" go to a cafe, order "an espresso" or a "limonade" something cheap and ask "Où sont les toilette s'il vous plait ?"
(Don't wait to be served, you have the direction: go for it!)
[I was born in Paris and have lived there for 50 years, I have the right to blame !]
THANK YOU GUYS. Planning my 2024 Trip there for Olympics.
Trop cool
Thank you for your very nice advice about being there.
Hi, thanks for this useful information, I didn't know about the strikes, have a great day.

I had always been told the "french" could be rude. But my visit to Paris I found them to be friendly and helpful. I was a young USA student.
Once again, thank you. I just love your videos because they're so 'to the point'....!! And...'ohh so helpful.....'
This is truly exceptional! I enjoyed your presentation and love so much of your culture! Thank you!
We're planning to go to Paris later this year and I found your videos very useful ^^
Absolutely spot on. Thanks for sharing this realistic video about culture differences.
So helpful
Once again, excellent. BTW, I so remember the Franc notes with the Little Prince on them.
These videos you've made are very well done! Lovely pacing, very practical advice, and nice videos to go with it. Thank you!
Another great video... very informative. I loved the one about fish restaurants. Also, I love the fact that you love wine.........me too !!!
