I love Brittany 😍 it’s doesn’t get better than that...where can you have farm land and see the ocean at the same time. It also looks like the Northern California Coastline.😍 I just bought my first home in France near Paris......but my French is still bad..... I am here because my man is French ☺️

Please do a video on: driving in france, retiring in france, ways to be able to stay in france for a year, how best to learn the language.

Yes, more on wine. May I also suggest family life (probably basically the same everywhere), children, education - compare and contrast with US style. Thank you Diane...

For a one day trip from Paris I would recommend Chartres (one hour train ride from Paris Montparnasse Station, multiple trains a day). You may visit the amazing cathedral and get a glimpse of architecture of western France in this small gorgeous city.

Another easy day trip north west from Paris is to Cherbourg. The western most of the normandy d-day beaches. Round trip directly from gare saint lazare. Their station is right in town and a brief walk to shops waterfront and restaurants. There’s a famous file ‘ Parapluie ☂️ de Cherbourg which is a delightful modern operata. I hope you will go.

Love Brittany! went to school in La Baule. What's left of my family lives in Nantes. I grew up bi-lingual and bi-cultural. I was born in France, raised mostly in France. My dad was American and my mom French. I now live in the US but I've been a gypsy most of my life as a professional musician! Love your channel. Can totally relate to every thing yo say!

You would come back after 6 months. They are racist bureaucrats with a police dtste,

I’m a US Army veteran, have visited Normandy twice, and was able to pay tribute to the father of a Lieutenant Colonel that I reported to. The Overlord Museum was amazing and military veterans can visit without a charge.

Regarding bureaucracy - persistence is key. I heartily endorse this advice. Polite but insistent.

Bonjour de Illinois!!💁‍♀️Enjoying your videos very much, merci beaucoup!!💖 My fav part of France is the Cote d'Azur (French Riviera) and Monaco. Also loved Paris and Lyon. Love the French people!!💞 Regarding driving, the most challenging for me was driving in the Arc de Triomphe round-about!!😳 Arrggh!! Yes that would be a really great video to do for the future, "Tips for driving in France". Merci!!😊

So interesting, as per usual, Diane! Thanks & what a lovely spot in which to film! Peace! Q

Diane, you are amazing at explaining things and extracting advice! Very good teacher skills haha. But seriously, there’s a couple things here that would be helpful for me to remember if I get to go abroad (the pandemic has changed a lot of my situation) so I’m saving this video in my Prep playlist (I’m an optimist lol) and looking forward to part II!

Oooh, I love Q&A! Great video. Well, they're all wonderful, informative, and so fun! I was amazed I got around France okay. It just worked out even when I didn't understand if I was doing the right thing or not. Was glad I found out, pre-travel, about metro travel hints (take train w/name of last street on route you're taking) & about making definite train reservations (not just for TGV) since you never knew when they'd suddenly be full due to a saint holiday...very glad. However, I never got a handle on bus travel - easy or not, enough routes & time tables, switching between trains & a bus, etc.??? I missed Monet's house due to that. Not like there weren't other great places to visit! So, yes, wine vid and travel vid, please. ...weather, clothing to wear so you don't look like such a tourist, why do so many people wear down jackets in hot muggy weather even though they're uncomfortably sweating like crazy, ...?? Thanks and have a wonderful week!

Nice video and great information. TFS

I would love you to do a video on French wines/winemaking. I am a funny (odd) person in that I don't drink (never developed a taste for wine/beer) but long ago when I lived in Ann Arbor MI I had the chance to take a French wine class. Even though I do not drink, I love to learn about things and how to read wine labels/wine making is fascinating. It also helps me when I choose to purchase wine as a gift for someone. Funny story about my taking the wine class...I took it in January and after sipping just a bit I got a bit woozy (tipsy) and there was a raging ice storm outside. Not a good mix as I slid through the parking lot to return to my car and drive home!

In retrospect, I don't think I ever really liked the taste of alcohol much at all either. I was probably just trying to fit in and be sociable. The lightbulb moment for me came after I finally gave up cigarette smoking and my taste receptors fully reawakened--after decades of smoke dulling them into a state of partial dormancy. However, I do enjoy cooking occasionally with wine (especially marsala) to enhance a sauce, or in the case of turkey gravy---a tiny little splash of vermouth and allow it to cook out the alcohol's acrid flavor.

Great job, love all your work

Je viens de découvrir votre chaîne et j'aime bien vos vidéos, votre état d'esprit, votre vision du monde, relativement objective et nuancée, votre manière de réagir, d'appréhender les choses de manière positive, avec bienveillance et aller au-delà des clichés. Parmi les nombreux sujets de votre vidéo, vous avez évoqué le fait que le client n'était pas roi en France et qu'il n'avait pas toujours raison, c'est une réalité que chacun peut remarquer. J'ai connu des américains qui, à Paris, s'offusquaient d'avoir été mal servi dans un bar ou un restaurant et qui me disaient systématiquement "ce genre de choses n'arrivent pas aux Etats-Unis" ou "chez moi, je vis voir le manager et il arrange les choses"... J'ai donc toujours cru, aux dires des américains, que le client "avait toujours raison" aux Etats-Unis. Je suis allée deux fois dans votre pays, à NYC et St-Paul/Minnesota, Yellowstone etc. Et c'est lors de ma dernière visite (août/sept. 2018) que ma famille et moi avions connu la pire expérience de notre vie en tant que clients d'un hôtel. Nous avions réservé plusieurs chambres pour une durée d'une semaine dans un hôtel autour de St-Paul et tous les jours nous constations que le ménage était à peine fait ou très mal fait, des insectes morts (cafards, mouches etc.) traînaient sur le bord des fenêtres etc. Nous avons fait des réclamations à la réception, envoyé des emails avec photos à la direction pendant plusieurs jours, mais cela a eu très peu d'effet. L'hôtel était clairement mal dirigé - on passait dans les couloirs et les employés étaient assis à jouer avec leur téléphone mobile... A l'issue du séjour (pour un montant d'environ 3000 USD), nous avons demandé à notre belle-soeur et notre frère (qui vivent à St-Paul et parfaitement anglophones) de discuter avec la manager de l'hôtel pour voir si on pouvait obtenir une réduction sur la note de l'hôtel à cause des problèmes rencontrés. La manager nous a tout de suite traités de "menteurs" (alors qu'elle recevait nos emails de plaintes) et nous a dit qu'on n'obtiendrait aucune réduction. Mon frère a perdu son sang-froid et a répondu dans un langage qui ne lui a pas plu et elle a appelé la police. Elle a demandé à ses employés (tous noirs) de nous mettre dehors. La police est arrivée 5 minutes après. La manager a raconté à la police que notre frère l'a poussée et insultée (elle prétendait être enceinte à plus de 50 ans). Un policier nous a auditionnés à tour de rôle sur le parking... Mon frère a déclaré qu'il n'avait rien à se reprocher et que la police devait juste visionner les films des caméras de surveillance pour connaître la vérité... Nous avons quitté le Minnesota, écoeurés par cette histoire. Alors, oui, je crois que "customer is king" c'est vrai pour les clients américains mais ce n'est pas toujours vrai pour les touristes étrangers (nous sommes français d'origine asiatique)... Après, on fait des reviews sur Tripadvisor et ils sont simplement censurés !

Personnally, i would recommand the methods i used to learn english almost from scratch: whenever you are on the internet, use the french internet, and just suffer through it for a few years. I hate studying, i can't bear textbooks and i can definitely never follow a learning schedule. But when i listen to, write and read english everytime i am on the internet (or spanish), using online dictionaries and stuff (for pronunciation, too), and exercizing my curiosity to check from time to time pronunciation or grammar rules i can't undertstand... the need for a (potentially paying) 'tool' disappears. Now, using a french/english language exchange through sites like italki can be useful, too. I plan to do that myself, because i am unsure if i can actually 'speak' the language properly. So, i probably need to find someone out there to speak english with (and french, if useful to the other party).
