As a Parisian spending 3 months in California, I once rented a car and did this trick in dowtown Palo Alto. Only to come back 30 minutes later with the owner of the car in front of mine and a police officer, both mystified and horrified as to how a car had been able to fit in such kind of spot. I was close to get a ticket, until they realized I was French, and I showed them how to get in and out of a tight parking spot without touching the cars in front and behind me. This was before in the 90's, before we had rear cameras.

But key word is that the video title is _French_ parking and not _Parisian_ parking. In Paris people leave their cars in neutral so people can push the cars out of the way when parking on the street. They just reverse until they hear a loud sound and they’re parked. Pull this stunt in any other part of France and people will get really angry.

Bumpers are there for bumping. If someone need a decoration instead of a bumper he should stay away from cities or crowded places Its just a tool for transportation and a small and little scratch at bumpers doesnt make any real difference for its use. I know a lot will disagree, but i think its better not to be attached too much to an item. At least not when we talk about little scratches.

Was recently in a minor accident in my 1999 Renault Laguna. Momentary lapse of judgement and I drove into the back of a Vectra. Vectra came off with its backbox hanging off meanwhile my Laguna had just a few more scuffs on the bumper. Now I know why theyre so stiff 😂

My first time trying parallel parking, it tooks me 10 minutes and I had a space about 1 meter in front and behind my car to the next car parked. This guy pull it off in just 2 minutes with very little space between the cars, so awesome.

I lived in Paris and worked as a sales rep for 20 years. This very parking technique and satisfying result was my daily routine. Having said that, not all Parisian drivers possess the necessary skill. As to bumping, French people also do not like it. You do it when the other car’s driver is not present and you do your best to bump as gently as possible with the intent to leave no scratch on both bumpers (yours and his).

With clutch you lower the torque transmitted to the wheels so when u touch another car it's like a human hand pressing on the body of the car, you can't do that with an automatic cause even if u gently press the gas pedal lots of torque are put onto the wheels which will damage the car paint. Plus clutch pedals are very long and you can be very precise by using both pedals at the same time.

I can confirm that the French do not argue about minor damage on cars. A then brand-new Citroen C6 cut my lane and I noticed too late and hit it. A Gitanes-smoking man in an expensive suit got out, totally relaxed, we looked at the scratches and dents and he said "Euh, c est rien monsieur, la voiture est encore en marche", shrugged, and got back in.

I was in Paris years ago and saw this many times. It seemed that when the cars were parked on level ground they were left in neutral gear and without parking brake. That way they could be gently pushed by the cars entering or exiting the parking spot. The parked cars could not go far because there was always a car parked close either in front or rear.
