I'm French and grew up in France, I now live in London but trust me, I've seen a LOT of French women that do what you say they don't even in Paris! I think it's not about being French, it's about elegance vs. vulgarity. It's about how people are brought up and what they consider polite and respectful ( to themselves and to other) Great video nonetheless.

This was so interesting, not what I expected! I am English and 71 years old (today as it happens!). Many of these things were taught to young ladies when I was growing up, clothes clean ironed and repaired, not shouting to each other, table manners........... my parents were so strict! Women of my age will say that 'standards have dropped' in the UK. What I get from this video is that French women are still taught, and want to behave, in what I would describe as a more feminine way. Don't shout at me British people, but I think here, nowadays, women are more confused as to why they are making themselves look nice, what is 'nice' and who is it for. Just to add one more thing. At that time when I was growing up, it was not 'the done thing' to draw attention to yourself by being loud, showing your body etc., I think this is what Frederique is describing.

Having a large bottom is not the problem, but dressing in an unflattering provocative way is. No one has made disparaging comments about having a large bosom. It has just been considered normal & acceptable. Even cleavage has been thought to be sexy. However, the same has not been thought about women with ample derriers. Indeed, those who have them have been looked down on, & ill spoken of. And yet there are many women from various cultures who genetically have a large bottom naturally. Finally, when it has been considered se3y to have one, there is a backlash. Please understand, I personally think that a woman looks better dressed classy, wearing clothes suited for her body shape, height, proportions & colouring. However, I think in not accepting physical differences, we have unknowingly been slowly perpetuating an environment where push back would be the result & the pendulum would swing too far.

I agreed with that too. As a guy, I’ve never found those style of shoes attractive. They make her walk like she’s on stilts. A very stilted and the very un-graceful stride. And the girl usually appears to be on the verge of falling all the time. A lady GLIDES, with a smooth graceful motion, arms swinging in an easy and effortless arc. Heels are awesome to be sure! But a reasonable height that enhances her walk, her stride. But like everything else here in the US, it blown out of proportion and taken to extremes. And the girl just looks silly with her arms out always ready to catch herself in case she topples! That is NOT classy. :)

The items around self care and comportment sound like the 1950s in the U.S. over that time there has been major social change that promotes cheesyness and vulgarity. I do not fault the young, they are just experimenting with life. But a kind of self respect and self care have gone out of society and the models for dressing and behavior and tradition scorning come from the entertainment industry, not mothers , not elegant women. Blue jeans in the office? Eating in front of tv as a daily practice, torn clothing as a mode? We see it all and it is not pretty is it?

I’m really enjoying you! I live in the United States and people here wear the most atrocious clothing! I think the men are the worst! Big bellies sticking out, tee shirts alllll of the time,etc!

I’m from Ohio and of the black community and I loathe how people dress. I’m always giving my nieces and nephews etiquette lessons. They’re all in the late teens or early twenties, but I tell them you can always carry yourself elegantly at any age.

I grew up in Latin America and learn all of this in school. I went to an all girls private school and we used to have an etiquette class just like any subject. They taught us table manners, poise, how to walk, how to talk, not to chew gum ever, and everything else you’re saying. We have a saying in my country that basically says “the way you look, is the way they’ll treat you”.

Hi! I add this: check your teeth and breath before you leave the house. A smile is amazing when the teeth clean and the gum line is clear. The sanitised mouth creates fresh breath and people will be happy to talk to you.

The French curse a lot in my opinion, compared to other cultures like the US. Even the women. But cursing, insults and slang are different things. Slang isn’t classy. Insults are attacks. But cursing in and off itself is not such a big deal in France. It’s acceptable to say “merde” (=shit) in a work environment, but not “meuf” (non-derogatory slang for woman) or “connard” (asshole). I know many women who use curse words but give out a very classy vibe. A woman who uses euphemisms for swear words strikes me immediately as a mommy rather than as someone particularly classy

Hopefully I can get my sisters to help change her back bc she’s very unhappy and I think this is why. I hope we can bc she’s very stubborn that she doesn’t go anywhere so no need to do hair, nails, wear nice clothes etc. The way you look many times reflects how you feel about yourself.

I loved your video!! You are so honest and direct.... I agree 100 percent with your idea of class and elegance. It’s gotten too relaxed in the states...

More people need to learn about basic etiquette whether it is learning about table manners, how you should dress or speak. I am glad you are discussing these things. My mother had a modeling studio and taught etiquette when I was younger. I realize that I am at an advantage over many people, but everyone needs to know this. I am very surprised how many younger people dress and speak in the United States and now in many parts of the world. Even though I am from this country it really horrifies me. I have been to Paris many times and many other countries in Western Europe and I do notice a significant difference there. Thank you for discussing this very important topic.

My mother is Guatemalan and she mentioned some of the stuff you mentioned in the video. I love you teaching this and talking about this lol. Love you!

Thank you. 😊 I love listening to you and your wonderful advice for all women no matter who they are or where they are from. It's now how I start my day.

Wow! Everything you said is very similar to what my mother taught me! We're American and I've lived in the Midwest my whole life, but my mother is of French descent. I didn't realize just how French she was until I watched this video! She taught me to moisturize my face neck and upper chest every evening before bed since I was 13 (something I still do) ... We girls (my mother, sister and I) never left the house without a spritz of perfume or essential oil and a pair of earrings ( a little bottle of perfume is kept in the glove compartment of my car just in case) and our clothing, even if casual and comfortable, was still always tidy and co-ordinated. This surprisingly made me very different from the girls around me, with their ratty hair piled on their heads, last night's makeup and itty bitty denim shorts! And, even though those girls may have had a great butt hanging out of those shorts, they still were very jealous of me... Some still are.. which makes me sad, but maybe that's the curse of class. All in all I'm grateful to my mother. Even though we had very little money, she taught us to cultivate class and grace.

I love this video! I am so with you on leaving the house with your hair done, little lipstick (I prefer a natural color), and parfum because it is truly representing myself and family just like you said! Love you!

Glad I found you I am listening to you everyday. I agree with you totally as I am a woman from Europe. Love your humor !

I love your honesty ❤️. Although I am British, I have been brought up with many of these tips. ( I think I must have been French in a previous life!). However, you are totally right about confidence. I have had trouble with confidence all my life and it’s only now I am older I am feeling comfortable in my own skin. I also love how French women support each other and value age. In UK/USA cultures, natural aging is almost a dirty word. Thank you for this, I really enjoyed it x

I love this, and so appreciate your honesty. I agree with everything you have said. Table manners, and impeccable hygiene are key, among all the other things you shared.

Good manners and decorum are universal and never go out of style, thank you for emphasizing their importance!

Love the great advice! I do a lot of this already. Born and raised in Norway always surrounded by high quality and classic styles, good manners, respect for self and others. I’m almost 64 now and experienced the tragic loss of one of my sons recently. Some of what keeps me going now is to get up every day, straighten my back, take care of myself, my health, and the way I look. It clears my head so I can think and not wallow in misery.

Wow! This is amazing! And don't worry - people need to hear that! I swear if I see chipped nails- my skin starts to crawl 😅😅

Absolutely beautiful and honest! Thank you soo much for sharing how to be The Woman xxx

You are lovely and honest nad all you said it's true!!! I absolutely agree!!

Love you and your channel. Merci beaucoup!

I just found your channel and I love it❣️ I agree with you 💯 My mother and grandmother raised me to dress and be classy. I’m so thankful. I love Audrey Hepburn. She is the epitome of classiness 👑

I loved this video! Adorable. And very excellent advice.

I totally agreed. Good job!

I was also raised the same way. I am in my late 40s and live in the midwestern part of the USA. I would add that in addition to wearing lipstick and perfume, I was also expected to wear earrings that accentuated the look of my outfit. Also, in addition to never wearing clothes that were damaged or ill-fitting, we also were not allowed to wear wrinkled clothes. I had to select and iron my clothes the night before. Unfortunately, ironing ones clothes has fallen out of favor in the USA. :(

'if you're going to be a beeatch, don't comment, don't bother...' hahahahh I LOVER HER!

Very good, I love your way of pointing out with care for us , women.

I just discovered your channel and I have been enjoying your sense of humour and sincerity. My first grandson brought me to Paris for a month recently. My son and his wife have adopted Paris as home and both have impeccable manners. I was taken aback when my son gave me gentle reminders to lower my voice when walking down a street or in a shop. As a Canadian, cheerful chatter is quite normal. You mentioned wearing perfume. It is a big no no in Canada due to environmental allergies. How I miss my No5 and Coco!

Very good advice, so many women today dress inappropriately! They just don’t seem to care about what kind of message they are sending!

the message we are sending? women have a voice if they want to send a message

I totally agree with you. Enjoy hearing your tips. Maybe it’s my eyes but the white notes were difficult for me to read.

Frederique, this is the second video I watch from you and I could not agree more with you! I am not french but visited France many times and I can see and feel how the women are so elegant and just beautiful classic there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with everybody!

Thank you, needed the reminders!

Thank you so much for reinforcing how to be a lady. It is so refreshing to see someone setting a standard of class and overall self-worth. I love how all of your points build on and play off the others. Again, thank you so much. There are many women out there that needed to hear this. Whether it be to reinforce what they are already doing, or to give them encouragement to value themselves and be more thoughtful of how they present themselves.

thank you for watching xxxx

Thank you for this! So refreshing! You’ve inspired me to get a new hairstyle as soon as I can get to my hairdresser! I go weekly usually for a blow dry anyway and have regular facials/massage. I’m 57 and suffer with anxiety and am always hard on myself. I wish I could meet you as you’d give me so much confidence! Xx

Frédérique Bros Thank you SO MUCH for replying! I will try to be stronger but I’m starting to hate what stares back at me nowadays! I’ve let myself go a bit over lockdown and I need to pull my socks up! Xx

I'm from Philippines, been following you since I discovered your channel, it helps me refine my ways.I learned from you that I must look nice and dress up always even at home.I failed in manicure but I ordered a manicure set already so I can do my own nails.

Fantastic list! I agree with all your points- a loud woman or man on the phone is incredibly annoying! Why do these people think we want to hear their conversation! Thank you for sharing Frédérique!

I am laughing so hard! You are hysterical! I totally agree with all ten points. My mother taught me these things. We are American but she always said we have French in our blood;) And never ever leave the house without perfume and lipstick. LoVe your videos!

fantastic!

Frederique, Thank you so much for telling it to us straight! New subscriber!

I loved this video! thank you, really good tips. Nothing has to cost alot of money, it just costs a little bit of extra time. To look presentable and behave respectful to yourself and others. When you feel good about yourself, people notice. It attracts good energy and leaves a lasting impression. 😊

I'm Australian and I so much agree with you. Thank you for your directness and openness. I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Thank you same to you darling x

Thank you - I thought with time and seeing what is going around me, I was maybe getting old school or outdated... I am just elegant! Always got complimented on it, too. I am not French mais je le parle et je me comporte comme une Francaise. Merci.

I’m married to a French man and all you said In your video is what my hubby says all the time to me and our 19 years old daughter. ♥️♥️♥️

I discovered you today, thank you for your video! I am italian and I agree with what you say 100%. Finally someone saying these things! Thank you!

I love this video! thank you so very much.

I totally agree! My mum was a tailoress and she always looked classy. And she didn't have to spend a lot of money to do it. She's now 90 and puts make up and perfume on every day. I never go out without putting at least some make up on and perfume - or even if I'm not leaving the house. Thank you for these videos - I only discovered you the other day

Love this I agree with everything you said! My heritage is french and maltese , but im Australian 🤪

Glad you enjoyed!

Just found your Chanel- so wonderful! I love all things French (except the snooties in Paris)..lol. I took 4 yrs of French, I’ve been to Paris and Niece, and named my daughter Gabrielle. You, my love, are aging like a fine wine- amazing. You may be in you’re 40’s but if you’re 50- my god- you are just beautiful! Keep the tips coming- women in America have forgotten how to be simply beautiful and classy. Glad I found you.
