Jacques Brel was from Belgium.
I hope you people will visit this amazing country. I'm here since 2016 and... WOAH!!! Feel welcome!
This guy speaks french with a weird german accent
The overdone super throaty "r" is unbearable. He should just pronounce it the english way ...
He reminded me about Robert Downey Jr in "Sherlock Holmes". x)
I'm french and I really approve his accent
Je confirme
@@kreiontresadenn5633 Except the French overdo the "r" a lot more than Germans. German is in fact a non-rhotic language; most of the Germans "r"s turn into "a"s.
It wasn't a German accent at all, to be honest. I could pronounce all the words better than him and I never even took French.
Im french and I don’t hate anyone! That’s a bit cliché guys 😞
@@poco6719 Faut avouer quand même qu'on est pas toujours facile lol Mais moi et mon entourage, on adore les gens. On déteste pas grand monde ^^
@@lauriecha490 On est pas mechant, mais pour avoir voyagé a l'étranger, c'est vrai qu'on est pas les plus patient ou les plus aimable avec les gens qu'on ne connait pas .
Pour les autres pays on est souvent reconnu comme violent et bien énervé ^^
Et beaucoup de français sont vachement fermés au premier abord !! Sinon sympa de passer par ici et de voir que d'autres français sont là! ^^
That's not cliché at all, a cliché is a common idea shared by so many people. The French hate only anglosaxon culture and particularly the States, but they are the unique one in that case .
Les Belges, Sorry for Jacques Brel ^^
Haha we know it that counts haha
I'm french, i eat snails 2 or 3 times a year not more (that's the average), and when you are used to it it's not weird it's very good👌👌
The same it's so good
I am Haitian. And, even though France created and colonized Haiti. It is the most Noble country in the world.
Merci ❤️
What I like about french food is that they are many times made of simple ingredients. The magic is in the cooking methods. This makes many french dishes available to anyone if you just learn the cooking process. For example, the apple tart "tarte tatin". Try to bake one. It's simple, but amazingly delicious.
This video is extremely biased, glad you find out what my country is really about : try to do the best with the lowest you can spend.
People don't work 6-7 hours a day, the economic crisis is that explosive that we work more than 15hours a day. In fact, we go to sleep at 1am and wake up at 4am !
We are not classy as this video seems to want to prove. My country is slowly going to an under developped country. It's funny nobody seems to get the man laying in front of the eiffel tower "sleeping" is actually a homeless person giving up fight for survive.
There is two different part in France, the richs (by richs I mean millionnaires), they are the person that the rest of the world picture all of us to look like and the other 99% of the population.
People who don't have money. Literally, 0 euros to start the month, who don't have a choice, who are not listened, who don't have a life.
If you ever go to Paris, drive 1 hour from the center of the city and see what our country really is. Or even simple, search on Google Pictures "Quartiers Nord de Marseille", "Bois de Boulogne prostitution", etc...
@@charlesmasclef1309 center paris 2,5 millions french ... ça n'est pas la france , la france c'est tout le reste et d'ailleurs les citadins partent à la campagne tout les week end.
@@moutonnoir787 Je sais, c'est exactement ce que j'ai écris dans mon commentaire pour que les étrangers qui visitent Paris voient ce qu'est réellement la France en province.
French food ? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. France does not have food, go to Italy for that.
@@emanuelebertelli6450 Italy has very good food but France has a culinary diversity well above, but Italian cuisine is one of the best in the world but not better than French cuisine.
French here!
Eating snails might sound weird to people from outside our country but when you think about it, why is it different than eating any different kind of meat? Sure it might seem "more disgusting" because snails are weird and always in mud, but we invented farms for that - so everything is very clean. Trust me, it's not more disgusting than eating fast food chicken nuggets that are made of crushed bones and feces.
So much "cliché" about France ...
Y a quelques clichés mais globalement j'ai trouvé la vidéo honnête.
That guy looks a bit alike Kobe Bryant I find..
I am french and I didn’t really appreciate this representation of my country ! We are representing like big lazy people eating weird things all the time and crazy
That’s so wrong... I hope people are not gonna believe everything in this video
J'ai pas eu l'impression d'une chronique négative. Il y a beaucoup de clins d'œil plutôt humoristiques et il faut accepter qu'on se moque un peu de nous comme nous savons si bien le faire de notre côté. C'est de bonne guerre. Certes il y a quelques imperfections et quelques erreurs mais dans l'ensemble c'est plutôt bien senti je trouve.
*Geography Now* always make mistakes, or leave out notable information in their videos.
*France* might have been the first country to ban food waste, however I'm pretty sure *Germany* was the first to do it unofficially. They've been encouraging their supermarkets to donate unsold food to food banks and charities for at least 10 years, as I remember reading a story about one of their supermarkets being the first to donate food at least 10 years ago.
I also notice how the Americans at *Georgraphy Now* failed to mention the *Lumiere Brothers* who are widely regarded by many as pioneers in the film industry, and *Louis Aime Augustin Le Prince* who you've most likely never heard of. *Louis Le Prince* was a French inventor, however he worked and lived in the UK for the last 24 years of his life. It was in *Leeds, West Yorkshire, England* on the 18th October 1888, where *Louis* on his own single-lens camera, captured the *"World's First Film."*
He never got to show the public his film as he mysteriously disappeared on his way to France, on the 16th September 1890.
Some people think the world's biggest invention thief *Thomas Edison* was responsible for disappearance of *Louis* and I think those people are correct. In 1898 *Louis'* son *Adolphe Le Prince* testified against *Thomas Edison* as *Thomas* claimed to have been the first to invent the single-lens camera. Just over two years later in 1901 *Adolphe* was found murdered on *Fire Island, New York* shortly after testifying against *Thomas Edison.*
The snail thing is a bit a harsh cliché. Snails are not eaten all the year, they are eaten, by tradition, during Christmas or New year fest. You will have a very harsh time to find some French eating snails apart these 2 fests (the same can almost be said for froglegs, we can sometimes eat froglegs (mostly in chinese restaurant even) but it's not considered as other meals). I'm French of course, but I don't hate everyone (and not equally, I hate the most untolerance whoever is bringing it)... Ive visited almost all of Europe, been in UK, USA, Africa, and I've lived 4-5 years in Germany, 4 months in Indian ocean (Mayotte, Réunion, and glorious isles). Brief, i considere my self as both Nationalist and Internationalist, skills which are not uncompatible. I love my country, but I love to meet different people all around the world, I am proud of my country but i do so for any country in the world which has done improvements or "avancées" in human rights, sciences, health research, History, philozophy etc...
He switched the connection between english and french language
So, France is the biggest country in Europe in territory size and is the second in population, has a very rich culture and the fact that French people hates everyone is not true. We French people get to hear a lot of people telling Jokes about that we "Lost" a World war, that we are lazy and we don't take showers (Of course that is not true) When other countries talk about France they have only one word in their mouth "PARIS", Yes it's a beautiful city but it's not the only one in France as you can tell... If there is one thing that drives me crazy is the jokes (That are not funny btw) about World Wars, that we can't fight, we surrender all the time and if you do tell jokes like this remember that WE are not responsable for what French people did 80 years ago. (Maybe because 90% of them are dead)
France is the third in population.
1-Russia
2-Germany
3-France
@@lunenstremah903 Not all the russia is in Europe
@@Odah_ But the three quarters live in the "European" part.
Its two most populous cities, whose capital is in the European part, its culture is more similar of Europe than of Asia.
So Russia is European.
@@lunenstremah903 Russia is not in Europe, it's in Asia (even if it's considered european because it's culturally closer)
@@Blitz78100 Russia is both European and Asian. A country does not have to be a single continent, especially when it is a country as big and as ethnically diverse as Russia.
So Russia is both the largest country in Europe, the largest country in Asia and the largest country in the world.

A small error in this presentation: Jacques Brel was Belgian.
Very interesting. I learned a lot on this fabulous country
The Gallic Rooster (Le Coq Sportiff) is the national symbol of France🇫🇷🇫🇷
Italy has an older tradition to produce wine, but french wine has a more premium quality in that matter. Champagne is french for exemple
what about Geography now Germany? would like to see it. Your vids are awesome
On est les meilleurs 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
With all the respect I have for both country, in terms of food and wine :
France >> Italy (not even close)
PARIS NEST PAS LA FRANCE !
Tu dis sa parceque t'est de lyon ???
Dans un premier temps oui, mais je le dis aux noms de tout les français 🇫🇷
Tu a raison ils connaissent que Paris ! pourtant on a tellement de belles régions 🤷♀️
Oh ! Un paysan !
benjamin gobert tu dis ça parce que t’es parisien??
Geography now! Of Germany is also really informative and funny,I highly suggest you watch that! Love your reactions!! :)
France, known for it snail cliche' and their wine, the snail dish is known as eschargot
The overseas provinces of France possess the same rights as the departments or regions of Metropolitan France( La France Mètropolitan)
i've learn more things about France in this video than before.. and i'm French ! lmao
Welcome in France my beautiful Country 🇫🇷😍
The best country ever
Ma France
The only thing which could be worse than beating Belgium in the world cup semi-final is to steal them Jacques Brel (and fries... yes, French fries are actually belgian).
fries are both from northern france and belgium tho !
@@ledernierutopiste no there made by e belgian in belgium
@@commando2113 no
@@ledernierutopiste yes yust look it up
he French gave the world the hot air balloon, the sewing machine, and the bikini. They even gave the United States the Statue of Liberty. However, one thing the French cannot claim is the French fry.
Despite its name, the French fry is not French. The origins of the French fry have been traced back to Belgium, where historians claim potatoes were being fried in the late-1600s.
According to local Belgian lore, poor villagers living in Meuse Valley often ate small fried fish they caught in the river. During the winter months the river would freeze over - making fishing impossible and forcing the villagers to find other sources of food.
Enter the potato. The villagers turned to the root plant, slicing and frying it much in the same way they prepared the fish. And just like that, the earliest French fries were born.
American soldiers stationed in Belgium were first introduced to French fries during World War I. As the official language of the Belgian army was French, soldiers nicknamed the delicious fried potatoes “French fries." The name stuck, and decades later we're still giving credit to the wrong country.
French fries are one of the most popular side dishes in the world. When it comes to dipping, fries often find themselves covered in ketchup, mayonnaise, or vinegar, but that seems to be where the universal preference ends.
In Belgium, people prefer to eat French fries with cooked mussels or with a fried egg on top. The United Kingdom is famous for its “fish and chips." In the Middle East, fries are wrapped in pita bread with chicken, and in France they are served with grilled steak. Canadians serve up poutine, a dish consisting of french fries and cheese curds, topped with brown gravy!
I'm French and I don't eat snails, nor my family nor my friends !
Les Corses s'en prennent plein la tête dans "Geography Now" 😥😅
j'avoue a chaque fois les corses prennent chère lol
More than 80 million visitors but how many of them just go to Paris? France is not just Paris we have so many beautiful cities. PS: We don't hate anyone :)
A lot of things have changed since that video... little example: the age for retirement is no longer 62yo but a few years more (and then depending on the field they work in). And a lot more things have changed but it's not really interesting.
Also, comparing french food with american food is... weird? Because we don't have a great food hygiene but a whole bunch of the population cooks their meal, not like in the US where a lot of people just buy their meals. So we don't have fine taste and we don't drink wine that much, but just a bit more than in the US - and that seems to be very incredible to you americans. But really, we just cook more than you do.
The cheese thing is real though, i couldn't live without cheese! And y'all americans (as the continent, not only the counrty) with your tasteless ~cheesy things~... :(
Oh also the thing about "french people hate everyone" is not true at all! We love the world :) Joke apart, of course there is always a part of us who hate and discriminate others, but it's like in every country honestly. Not worth mentioning in a video, and definitely not something to absolutely know about our country (which the video seems to lead to).
Overall, it made me feel like being proud of being French was weird or wrong. Cause you know, that guy was really insisting on the fact that we are proud of being french. Well yes, it's true! Aren't you proud of being American? Aren't you going to defend your country if a foreigner talks badly about it? .... We don't like that everything is french though, that's just something seriously cliché. Yes, of course the old generations like it a bit more if we don't use anglicism (and that's generalizing again), but c'mon. The younger ones use english words as much as they want! (And in some parts of france, especially in the south, some of us also use some northern african words because the population is composed of a lot of people with an arabic origin. So that thing about everything must be french is, again, not true.)
I could write a lot more but noone is going to read that anyway, so i'll stop.
About your reaction... where is it?
Like- i'm not trying to hate on you guys and prove that french people hate everybody! But you just said "yes.... yes....... yeah" to everything he was saying, and that was it. No talking during the video, no talking after the end of the video... it was honestly just watching the video itself without you guys reacting to it.
I am truly not trying to hate or anything. Just my opinion. But for me watching one of your reaction videos is not worth it.
c'mon of course we have, overall, the best wine ! ^^ nice video, you guys should come over.
Nice video I French from Réunion Island (overseas country) "bonne vidéo et bienvenue en France"
Y'all should write Barbs a letter for Flag/Fan Friday
Mont Blanc means White Mountain from French
I a from Bordeaux, France, bornn in the middle of the 'Sauternais' Vineyards... And i can tell that, indeed, vineyards are everywhere, and yes, we have the best wine :)
He said it was the largest, not second largest. I wonder how much you actually listened to ^^. The food part is only a side of France or Italia.
Yay!! the arrow shows where i live! :D 5:09
internet is amazing
gauls and celts are same people. gaulic tribes were celtic. it's just the name given by the romans...
Gauls are celts but not all celts are gauls. Celtics represent widers populations than western europe.
@@Deorman yes it's true. The gauls were the tribes present in actual France, Belgium, Switzerland and northern Italy. But the representation of the gauls in this Chanel is quite false.
@@fanchdelapampa3896 that's true, but understandable.
in fact, gauls is just the name Caesar used to name the whole of "France" inhabitants of the time, to make them seem ONE people... when they were in fact many tribes with habit to fight each other...
@@kolerick nope
Jacques Brel was from Belgium
thanks for the reaction about my country France !!! All he says that's true !!!! Proud of ours food and monuments and hsitory !! You're welcome of course !!!

but C'EST LA VIE lol
A good idea of France but false things, like Jacques Brel, he is Belgian, snails are eaten most often during the end-of-year holidays. 80% of white skin it was in 1930 lol, otherwise we hate nobody simply we never happy :) otherwise we entered a new Revolution "Yellow vests" to regain our sovereignty because with Europe, we are destroyed all our heritage. Otherwise you are too cute both, I love your reactions :) Kisses of France
Actually it's a Californian wine who win the title recently ^^

If you ever doubted the fact that French people love to let you know that they are French, let's see your comment section in like a month or two. It has already started
It's a biased argument.
The french love to discuss, and then give a key to let others persons (especially online where you can't easily guess a nationality) judge their statement accordingly.
On a topic relative to France, I'm french = I know this subject well but I then could be not totally objective.
No more, no less.

There was no need to quote, hence i wasn't specifically quoting someone, moreover, this was coming after "On a topic relative to France,..."
