*Parisian accurate video

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!

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.

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!

In my experience, "Merci" and "S'il vous plait" are also essential ❤

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.

Patrick Rex, I believe people can feel our vibe, if we are open/ready for a cultural immersion.

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!

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.

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 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!

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.

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"

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Start with Bon Jour, be polite and the rest will by solved by it self! Br Johnny & Ewa from Sweden

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

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 😊

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!

Thank you for your great videos. Our family just came back from our first trip to Paris and Nice. Your advice is spot on and they have surely helped us navigating the new country at ease. We had a great time!

We're planning to go to Paris later this year and I found your videos very useful ^^

Awesome video as usual! Really great information. Congratulations on the upcoming milestone! You guys are the go to for covering most of the common questions everyone asks before a visit to Paris. Keep up the good work. Love looking out and watching the latest videos. 🥰

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.

@@LesFrenchiesTravel Thank u. 😀

Thank you for such videos. I recently travelled to Paris and I did that after watching your informative videos which were helpful to me esp in choosing the best area for a hotel and using the metro. I was tense at the beginning esp that I forgot all the French I learnt in school but I could manage! I was also tense about pickpocketers...but now I am proud of this experience I had all alone in Paris :D

Once again, excellent. BTW, I so remember the Franc notes with the Little Prince on them.
