You two look like those two really cool cousins who are best friends at a family dinner and you wish you were friends with them but theyr'e older and you don't dare to approach them
I love how philosophical, and critical, and artistic the French are. Whenever I try to have a conversation in that vein in America people are just like "Are you high bro?" lol
lmao that's interesting but you do have to look for people in the right places. Im american and all my friends can have conversations ranging from the dumbest things to philosophy and critique. i love it. we joke around but we definitely value creativity, museums, art, etc
Ok,now I almost as mad as the some Spanish.Don't care if my french hard as ..,I got to calm down here.Sorry,having a hard romance language moment.Libra balance out.
I think EVERYONE should live in a completely different country to their own for a while. It's so important to put things in perspective and is enriching to the soul. You also become aware of the stupid things of your own country and it relieves this pressure to keep up with everyone else.
Juliana Shavers girl don’t worry abt that, you just rlly have to think that you know more than other ppl, like you can talk to French ppl and have a French accent but guess what? YOU WILL BE BILINGUAL that means that you know more than the average person so if you do say something wrong they will correct you and you will learn from it so no hard feelings at all. Just do your thing, no need to be insecure 😊😊
I love how Damon will speak in english, realize it, and then start over in french. i feel like its so hard to force yourself to practice french when English is an easier option so I really admire that!!
As a German, I agree with Damon ...Even though here, people can be very hard to crack because we as a society are more distanced, I‘ d also rather be friendly and good with everybody
I totally agree with Damon on the personality question. I've been living in Switzerland for over 10 years, and I'm originally portuguese. And I still feel like I'm different when speaking in french, it's just not the same as in portuguese. I'm not able to tell stories the same way, jokes, and I'm way more reserved in french too.
yeah, i’m mexican and in multiple history classes they taught us that aswell, i believe that it was at the time of the Renaissance when perfumes became particularly popular in Europe, because of the fear that water contained bacteria and carried disease, the people would avoid taking baths and wore perfumes instead
I heard it come from ww2, french people couldn't buy soap so they used to made some at home (I'm french and my grand mother still has a recipe from that time), the homemade soap was efficient to clean but didn't smell good like those you can buy. Plus they had less. Maybe American and Canadian soldier talked about this later at home.
I love the vibe. Make this a monthly chat or something, please. I feel like I am listening to my friends, which feels awesome and a little less lonely. I have recently moved to Switzerland and the virus has not made getting to know people around here particularly easy. Bref, you guys rock.
So you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun’s apparant position relative to arbitrarily define constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.
I love the bilingual videos ! As a bilingual person myself it feels so natural to see you switch between french and english, I wish I could do it all the time because some things are easier to express in french and others in english haha
lol i think it's funny but it makes sense. his ex was someone who catapulted this life in paris for him, i feel. not giving his ex all the credit but it seems like it was years of him falling in love with paris while also seeing his ex.
@@chelseagaspard1366 exactly and it’s normal for people in the LGBTQ+ community to remain life long friends with past significant others, after all it is a shared experience. idk why the comments are always in a kerfuffle about him mentioning his ex hahaha
I really do admire that concept of having a decade plus loyal, tight knit friendship group. I'm the kind of person who would like to connect with people from various nationalities but with the way the world is set up and how surface level people are these days, I can't blame people for wanting to keep their friend group as it it and not caring to let anyone else in. It is what it is.
I perceive realistic paintings as expressing what you see (external) while abstract painting is expressing what you feel (internal). Very lovely to listen to you two chat!
This collab is surreal! I also couldn’t stop analyzing your hair, so amazing! A video of your favorite/funkiest hairstyles would be much appreciated ✨💟
I just randomly came across your channel yesterday and this was the second video I watched. Being from Louisiana, born in New Orleans, I've always had an appreciation of French culture. Even though we didn't speak much French ourselves. The food, architecture, fashion, history you never notice growing up in Louisiana until you move away. ( currently residing in Florida ) The last few years I've been exploring French cinema, art and philosophy which has sparked an interest in learning French. I thoroughly enjoyed this video of just two fellow Americans expressing their love of things French and their experiences there. I've subscribed to your channel and Damon's channel as well. Looking forward to more content and your perspective of life in France to help bridge the understanding of the culture there.
Also I know she may have seemed rude, but I just want to point out that she was actually very smart to lock it in front of them. It was clear that they were going to be there for a while, so she got some free security to watch her bike.
About the shower curtain, you have to buy it yourself, a detachable one. We consider it to be a decoration so some landlords just don't put any and let the new tenant do so according to his/her taste. Also, it is possible that the previous tenant bought one and took it when moving.
I'm moving to France in about a week, and I love both of your channels. I can't wait until until I can make videos speaking french (I'm not fluent) xxx
@@nicholaslowick3381 I am from Ireland, which has been largely unaffected by the virus, and the french boarders are open to people who are going on holiday/travelling for work. I took all the precautions (sanitizing, masks, no public transport, my own cabin on the ferry etc.) I made a video on it, so if you want more info you can check that out xx
@@oceaneant6586 yes! it was the literal only message i ever sent her and my account is normal so it definitely was because of that :( it made me so angry bc i really thought she was cool
My fiancé is a tattoo artist in Reims France and I am moving there and we are moving to Paris! I don’t know anyone there besides her so I need France friends that can help me learn French! So y’all should be my friends. Ok bye. 😂😂
I’m Canadian and i visited some relatives in France, and some of those relatives had been living in LA, and came back to france for vacation. I talked to the kids my age and they said it was interesting how in the US, they were taught history in a very US centric way, like they always painting the US as the “saviours” as opposed to their education in france. Funny.
The stinky cliché has multiple layers : -soap shortage during ww2 (and razors!) -The skinky breath because of the food -even nobility was afraid of bath water because they thought it transmited the plague -strong chemicals in extreme deodorants are forbiden in the eu -perfume industry reason for existance
I so thoroughly enjoyed this! I am an American living in Spain (been here for 7 years) The questions were spot on, and you both seem really chill! Thank you for being real, love your style!! Un beso desde Barcelona!
i’m losing it at “we learned that the native americans *had tort*” because i’ve said the same thing when trying to say someone is wrong in english...vive le franglais
I always figured that the “French people stink” myth was because of versailles! (Palace) Where they peed in the halls and didn’t shower it was extremely stinky and all that.
You have a great accent in French, I’m a French living in the uk and if I want to speak without my fr accent i have to make a BIG effort and being extremely concentrated to pronounce your “R” correctly. Je suis tombée sur votre vidéo par hasard, très bonne vidéo! Paris me manque beaucoup en cette période de lockdown :)
From what my dad told me (whos a very french man) its because for a very long time, europeens would shower only once a year thinking thats all they needed The stereotype started targeting french people when perfume became the new "hygene“ with master perfume makers like fragonard. While the rest of europe was now adopting more extensive cleaning habits, the french sticked to perfume
this video is so cute and was so enjoyable to watch ! as a person from Montreal who hears French and English on the daily i loved the mash-up of both the languages in this video in a conversational way, especially me being more on the anglophone side it was refreshing :)
Je viens de découvrir votre chaîne quelle joie de voir autant de positivité et d'énergie! Je n'en reviens pas que des américains trouvent Paris toujours aussi attractif! J'ai vécu à Paris il y a 30 ans et je peux vous dire que le Paris que j'ai connu n'est plus ce qu'il était. Nous y retournons de temps en temps avec mon mari et ma fille, mais je ne reconnais plus rien, tout a tellement changé, trop de monde et surtout trop de stress! J'y est vécu quand j'étais jeune, sans doute ne voyais-je pas à l'époque tous les travers de cette ville! Aujourd'hui je vis dans une petite ville des Pays-Bas, et pour rien au monde je n'échangerais pas ma petite ville hollandaise pour Paris! Bien à vous et vive la jeunesse, Anna
I’m super impressed that u guys are fluent in French. I live in Berlin and there are tons of Americans which is awesome, but lots of people don’t speak German at all even after living here for years. You even have to order in English in cafes and bars because some of the waiters don’t even speak some basic German.
I think the stereotype of french people smelling bad actually stems from WW1. Americans joined the conflict pretty late in the game , and when they arrived on the french front the french soldiers thet met had been fighting in the tranches for months in awful condition. They turned it into a stereotype and brought it back with them in the US
As an American here in Paris I love D's recommendations. I started going to Social Square -- now I'll check out Partisans! I'm always around Art & Métiers. :) Cute video guys!
I really enjoy all your talks and other videos, but when I saw this one with Damon.. OMG! Loved it. I used to live in France for a good part of my life, and live in New York now. I totally relate to your discussion about friendship, etc.
Hello ! First, thank you for this video ! Then, I will reply to your request about shower and curtains haha ! It is all about the fact that en France, people from a high social class will get most of the time 2 bathrooms : one called "salle d'eau" (water room) with only a shower and so a curtain. This room is only to take shower stand up on your feet. Then, they will have a "salle de bain" (bath-room) which is the room where an actual bathtub is. La salle de bain, is more luxurious, spacious, it is really destinate to relax and to let ladies prepare themselves. So that is why most of the "salle de bain" do not have curtains ! Because you should be lay in your bathtub thinking about your ex and life.... ;) hope it has helped you ! (also french are really attached to the past, so, we don't really think about the problem of curtains and we will better build another shower room than changed our old habits xD )
As an American living in France, I agree with Damon that I feel more free here than in the US. That's strange as growing up in America it is engrained in us that we're basically the only free country in the world or at least that is the perception.
13:50 I grew up In Dubai and went to a French school we literally communicated with Arabic french and English in a sentence it’s kinda weird and cool at the same time idk
they actually are! Ashley did a video of her stay in the UK and how she took a quick weekend trip to Paris. In the pictures she posted on her video, you see her at a rave party with Damon & Shanya
the "stink" cliché actually come from studies that counts the number of "points d'eau" (like showers,baths,sinks etc) of your house/flat and the less "points d'eau" we have, the "dirtier/stinkier" we are. But like that's completly false because people with two showers can stink more than people with one bath :))
I love that you mentioned so quickly that you’re both air signs !! I thought this straight away and see the ~air connection~ lol. Respect from your Gemini sis. Love you both so much 😭💛
Loved this discussion and its feels so vital now especially with all the turmoil that the US is going through. Loved what Damon said about how in French culture they want to do things 'together'. That sadly is what has been lacking here but hopefully in these turbulent times we realize that ' United we stand, divided we fall'. (P.S. I discovered your channel through Damon Dominique. Much love from Los Angeles)
The two of you interacted perfectly together; creative, open, instructive,inspirational, and fun.....this was absolutely one of the best...thank you both so much
I love this video so much. I don't speak French, never been to France and I'm not connected to America in any way but I love the atmosphere and the mood it put me in. Thanks for that.
ahaha alsoo my french teacher in highschool told me that people here don't shower, idk where this comes from either! + completely agree on productive days american vs. french!
Ah I LOVE LOVE LOVE this, I don't have a lot of friends here and this made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Your channel is so needed in this strangest of years!
I totally agree! I have wanted to live in Paris for many years, and cannot wait. I plan to go there as soon as an American can travel to France. Damon is so right, I might as well live somewhere beautiful. I'm so happy for you both living there.
Le cliché sur l’odeur des Français vient de l’époque, la première ou seconde guerre mondiale sur le fait qu’ils ne se lavaient pas pendant la guerre (je suis pas sûr à 100%)
Plutôt de l'époque des rois qui vivaient à Versaille. Personne ne pouvait vraiment se laver correctement pendant la guerre que ça soit pour les français ou pour les autres..
it's quite fascinating to see how as Americans you're ,,obsessed" with productivity and like be better than the day before. in France we just work because we have to you know, to pay for our lives basically. however, your american mindset is slowly arriving in France, people are more and more interested in productivity. I think that this productivity is what made america great in the first place, people worked very much, were innovative, etc... this led to success and the fact that america is always three step ahead of France
AHH I’ve been a huge Damon and Jo fan now for years and just found your channel recently and love your style and content so much!! This was the collab we all needed 😍😍
You both work so great together! Really one of the best collabs ever! So natural, such a great and relaxed conversation! I really loved It! I think you should shoot more times together
I've replayed 16:07 so many times. Because even though I know that Damon and Jo swear in real life, and even sometimes on their own channel, it's so weird hearing Damon Dominique drop the F bomb. 🤯😵

Ok,now I almost as mad as the some Spanish.Don't care if my french hard as ..,I got to calm down here.Sorry,having a hard romance language moment.Libra balance out.
The whole "productive" culture of the US is so frustrating. Its like u always have to be working to be a valid member of society 🙄
Exactly. Hit it on the dot.
Ugh yes!!! I know someone who hates the fact that I like being unproductive when I want to and can. But like why?????
I think EVERYONE should live in a completely different country to their own for a while. It's so important to put things in perspective and is enriching to the soul. You also become aware of the stupid things of your own country and it relieves this pressure to keep up with everyone else.
I agree
I want to but I’m afraid if I learn another language people will make fun of my because I can’t pronounce things correctly LMAO

Aw would love that!
AND ME PLS my two queens

I was LITERALLY just thinking that y'all should meet and then a few minutes later you uploaded this! How amazing!
Me too 😂
SAME! and i just found her channel yesterday so this is spectacular
I was thinking this too yesterday like wtf :))
Same! I found her yesterday and that was my first thought haha
Oh my goodness same! This is the best. :D
When I moved to London, I took Japanese classes, became friends with a Singaporean and then went on a hiking trip to Scotland with her. great times
THE COLLAB WE ALL NEEDED
As a German, I agree with Damon ...Even though here, people can be very hard to crack because we as a society are more distanced, I‘ d also rather be friendly and good with everybody
Oh.. From Mauritius to Germany, people are hard to crack here too..
“It’s gonna be a really short video” video is 30 minutes 🤣 not mad about it though this is hilarious
I totally agree with Damon on the personality question. I've been living in Switzerland for over 10 years, and I'm originally portuguese. And I still feel like I'm different when speaking in french, it's just not the same as in portuguese. I'm not able to tell stories the same way, jokes, and I'm way more reserved in french too.
the stinky cliché is probably from when the royalty wouldn't clean themselves n only wore perfume!
Ya it has to go waaaayyyyy back, Damon is too stuck in the present with his guesses
yes because at that time people thought that water was full of bacteria so you will get sick by washing urself
I remember a girl from England used to just whiff some perfume and no deodorant.
yeah, i’m mexican and in multiple history classes they taught us that aswell, i believe that it was at the time of the Renaissance when perfumes became particularly popular in Europe, because of the fear that water contained bacteria and carried disease, the people would avoid taking baths and wore perfumes instead
I heard it come from ww2, french people couldn't buy soap so they used to made some at home (I'm french and my grand mother still has a recipe from that time), the homemade soap was efficient to clean but didn't smell good like those you can buy. Plus they had less. Maybe American and Canadian soldier talked about this later at home.

they actually are! Ashley did a video of her stay in the UK and how she took a quick weekend trip to Paris. In the pictures she posted on her video, you see her at a rave party with Damon & Shanya
the "stink" cliché actually come from studies that counts the number of "points d'eau" (like showers,baths,sinks etc) of your house/flat and the less "points d'eau" we have, the "dirtier/stinkier" we are. But like that's completly false because people with two showers can stink more than people with one bath :))
I was just thinking about this collab when watching Damon's fauxgue video the other day!
okay but ending the video with that gorgeous message about abstract painting made my life. i feel so inspired by you!!
I love that you mentioned so quickly that you’re both air signs !! I thought this straight away and see the ~air connection~ lol. Respect from your Gemini sis. Love you both so much 😭💛
AGH I love you two this is great and I’m learning French, so I enjoy casual bilingual videos.
i just dmed her and asked very kindly if she would spread awareness of the USA police violence. i was BLOCKED
Loved this discussion and its feels so vital now especially with all the turmoil that the US is going through. Loved what Damon said about how in French culture they want to do things 'together'. That sadly is what has been lacking here but hopefully in these turbulent times we realize that ' United we stand, divided we fall'. (P.S. I discovered your channel through Damon Dominique. Much love from Los Angeles)
The two of you interacted perfectly together; creative, open, instructive,inspirational, and fun.....this was absolutely one of the best...thank you both so much
U ARE a libra my girl
Hehe no I'm Aquarius he is libra but I think we have a very similar energy as air dogs ☺️❤️❤️
I love this video so much. I don't speak French, never been to France and I'm not connected to America in any way but I love the atmosphere and the mood it put me in. Thanks for that.
Ahhh this was so good! You guys are too cute + love the perspective on international friendssss. Sending loveeee (also an american living in Paris 😉)
ahaha alsoo my french teacher in highschool told me that people here don't shower, idk where this comes from either! + completely agree on productive days american vs. french!
it's so great to see two of the channels that I take so much inspiration from doing a collab together
Ah I LOVE LOVE LOVE this, I don't have a lot of friends here and this made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Your channel is so needed in this strangest of years!
Yesss! This is the collab we needed. I love both of your channels ❤️
Your 'Why I speak french fluently' video was wuuunderful. Have you thought about doing a more in-depth video about your process? Bisous!
Omg this is so overwhelming!!! My two favourite you tubers and biggest inspirations all in the one video! Your lives are my dreams!Xx
I totally agree! I have wanted to live in Paris for many years, and cannot wait. I plan to go there as soon as an American can travel to France. Damon is so right, I might as well live somewhere beautiful. I'm so happy for you both living there.
Le cliché sur l’odeur des Français vient de l’époque, la première ou seconde guerre mondiale sur le fait qu’ils ne se lavaient pas pendant la guerre (je suis pas sûr à 100%)
Plutôt de l'époque des rois qui vivaient à Versaille.
Personne ne pouvait vraiment se laver correctement pendant la guerre que ça soit pour les français ou pour les autres..
Ou alors c'est pcq on mange du fromage on boit du café du vin et fume des clopes :3
@@maelyss2621 oui ça vient de cette époque, ils couvraient leurs odeurs avec beaucoup de parfum...
@@maelyss2621 les rois se lavaient donc roh
The collab we've all been waiting for!!
She spaced out in the middle of a conversation like a typical Aquarius but still present at the same time. Love that.
it's quite fascinating to see how as Americans you're ,,obsessed" with productivity and like be better than the day before. in France we just work because we have to you know, to pay for our lives basically. however, your american mindset is slowly arriving in France, people are more and more interested in productivity. I think that this productivity is what made america great in the first place, people worked very much, were innovative, etc... this led to success and the fact that america is always three step ahead of France
The birds chirping in the background are everything 🥺✨
Chaotic gods ♥️ we love ya 🌻🌻
Hearing from other Americans living in France warms my heart!!! Thanks guys
Interesting video, I loooooove the american accent of Damon when he's speaking french (and I'm obsessed with the flowers on your top)
AHH I’ve been a huge Damon and Jo fan now for years and just found your channel recently and love your style and content so much!! This was the collab we all needed 😍😍
You both work so great together! Really one of the best collabs ever! So natural, such a great and relaxed conversation! I really loved It! I think you should shoot more times together
OMG the collab is real!!!
i just dmed her and asked very kindly if she would spread awareness of the USA police violence. i was BLOCKED
yo ive always tought like wow they HAVE TO MEET AND THEY're BOTH AIR SIGNS and now you uploaded it and sait the same hahahahaa
I've replayed 16:07 so many times. Because even though I know that Damon and Jo swear in real life, and even sometimes on their own channel, it's so weird hearing Damon Dominique drop the F bomb. 🤯😵
This is such a vibe!! Love you both and this collab is EVERYTHING
