I'm french and there are a lot thing wrong in this video : n° 3 : of course you can wear mini short, especially in summer n° 7 : of course you can get drunk, like every one else, but not at the level of a British n° 8 : of course we eat with our hands, especially fries, chips, sandwiches, pizza, burger etc... n° 12 : you can be late of 15min depending of the circumstances but over that it's rude n° 15 : you can ask for a doggy bag, most of the restaurant do it even if it's not an usual thing n° 17 : you can't butter your bread ?! wrong ! wrong ! buttering bread it's an old fashion tradition but still widespread especially in traditional or gastronomic restaurants n° 20 : finally "scarpetta", we call it "saucer", and it's very appreciated to do it but absolutely not with bread on the fork, it's almost offensive to use fork and knife on bread.
Eating with your hands depends on the place where you are. It's accepted when it goes about fast food or street food, but in a real restaurant you're expected to eat even pizzas and burgers with a fork and knife. And to tell the truth, I actually like that as that keeps your hands clean.
@@CROM-on1bz une vision de la haute, certes, mais pas du tout Paris, fort heureusement. Votre commentaire me rappela une publicité des années 90, une pub sur la rillette, vous voyez laquelle?...
In France, the number of bises actually depends on the region. It's 2 in Paris and most of France, but in the north and some southeastern areas, people often do 3. Around Rhône-Alpes and the Loire Valley, it can even be 4.
1°) You can wear flip-flops in France. As for Paris, you can wear them too, but it’s true that some people might look at you as if you lack fashion sense. 2°) Regarding leggings, that’s completely false. Parisians do wear leggings, even when they’re out grocery shopping. 3°) About mini-shorts, you can wear them, but just like in other big cities around the world, there are sexual predators, and unfortunately, it can attract unwanted attention, such as groping or sexual harassment. So, it’s not recommended. However, being shirtless in a public area (except at pools or beaches) is prohibited by law. 4°) It’s hard to have a definitive stance on this because everyone has their own perception of what is "TOO much." But yes, if you go out with makeup that resembles "Cardi B’s" style, you might get mocking looks. We tend to prefer simplicity and a natural look-it also avoids surprises the next morning when the makeup comes off. 5°) Same comment as point 4°. 6°) This is a bit exaggerated. It’s just that loud laughter draws attention because people might be curious and wonder, "What’s so funny?" 7°)So much exaggerated, it's not true !!😂but for the information... Being drunk in public is illegal, but if you’re not a danger to others or disturbing anyone, the police usually won’t bother you. At most, they might escort you home if you can’t walk properly to prevent an accident. In some cases, you could be taken to a detox cell until you’re sober.
8°) In France, eating with your hands is seen as a lack of manners, but there are exceptions, such as sandwiches, hamburgers, pizza, or ribs. However, if you go to a restaurant and eat green beans or fish with your hands, it will be frowned upon. Similarly, eating with your mouth open, making noises, or putting your elbows on the table are also considered impolite. 9°) Of course, you shouldn’t talk with your mouth full. First, it’s hard to understand what the person is saying-imagine how it sounds with a full mouth: "whad de vuck." And most importantly, no one wants bits of food flying in their face. 10°) It’s totally true. Saying Bonjour, S’il vous plaît, Merci, and Au revoir shows you are polite, and it will always be appreciated. 11°) Here’s a funny anecdote: we French people complain all the time. We often criticize things about France, but if a tourist dares to criticize our country-oh boy, we’ll "insult your ancestors." It’s such a ridiculous behavior, but we just can’t help ourselves. 12°) False. I think this might have been misinterpreted. In France, we do appreciate punctuality, and being late is considered rude. However, the problem is that more and more French people are becoming selfish and adopting a "Fais ce que je dis, pas ce que je fais --translation: Do as I say, not as I do" attitude. That means your conversation partner might think it’s fine for them to be late and make you wait, but it’s unacceptable for you to do the same. This kind of behavior is unfortunately becoming more common.
13°) Yes, when you’re invited to an evening party or dinner at someone’s home, it’s customary to bring a bouquet of flowers for the hostess and a bottle of wine for the host. For example, when my parents invite me to dinner (yes, this also applies to family), I always bring a bouquet of flowers for my mother and a bottle of wine for my father, which he usually opens to enjoy during the meal. Of course, you can bring other gifts besides flowers and wine. 14°) I disagree; we know how to adapt. If you hug a French person, we’ll find it amusing because, yes, we usually greet with a kiss on the cheek (la bise), but if someone gives us a hug, we won’t view it negatively. So, don’t overthink this. However, it’s not entirely accurate to say that there are always two kisses in France-it depends on the region. I’d say in 60-70% of the regions, it’s two kisses. In the south of France, it’s three kisses. In regions east of Paris, it’s four kisses, and from what I recall, there’s a zone in Brittany (west of Paris) where it’s just one kiss. 15°) Regarding doggy bags, you can ask for one, but it’s true that this type of request isn’t very common here. Don’t hesitate to ask if needed, but be aware that some restaurants might refuse because they don’t have the necessary containers for takeout. However, most of the time, it won’t be an issue. 16°) False. People may have allergies and ask the server if it’s possible to leave out certain ingredients, like nuts in a dish. You just need to ask politely, for example: "Hello, I’d like a hot dog, please. Would it be possible to leave out the mustard? Thank you so much." If you say, "A hot dog, no mustard," it might be seen as rude. Yes, the customer is king, but that doesn’t mean you’re exempt from basic politeness-restaurant employees aren’t your dogs...
Is this a video about mode or about Paris and France? She is the typical tourist that thinks she knows France because she spent two weeks with some bourgeois in the most leftists places in Paris
"doggy bags" in some restaurants, when your kid (or teenage kid) can't finish more than half of the dish, some restaurants ask if you want them to pack the rest, because they understand the meal was too big for some kids. It happens also when you ordered quite an expansive wine and leave half the bottle, they have special bags to take the bottle back.
My 2cts as a French that has been living in Paris area for 9 years going on 10, from my experience: 1) Nobody cares honestly, maybe if you go into super chic places but I've seen so many people wearing similar to flip-flop every when temps are warm enough (or not). 2) Same as flip-flop,nobody care about what you wear. 3) For topless in public, it's a bit weird in every big city, not just in Paris. 4-5) I'm not sure if ladies care about makeup/nails, maybe that's a lady thing but the overall population won't care. Sure if you're painting your face of badly put up makeup they will but it's the same everywhere. 6) That's actually true, people hate when you go loud, I'd like to think that's the same everywhere, basic respect. There are still a bunch that don't care and will do. 7) Same as the previous one, I'd like to think people overall don't like seeing/dealing with drunk people, specially during the day. Even more after a long day of work 8) That really depend on what and where you eat. If you're eating at a restaurant sure, if you're eating McDonald’s or street food, nobody will care if you eat with your hands. 9) That one is probably the most real in this list, speaking with food in your mouth is disgusting. Again, I'd like to think it's a basic respect thing but well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 10) That's true, mostly because English in school was (and probably is still though less) a joke. Also if you come to a country, make the effort to try speaking their language and not expect them to speak yours. A few words will suffice. Also say bonjour/hello first thing, they'll open up a bit more. 11) Heh, maybe. You better complain about something that isn't worse in your country if you do tho :D 12) You know, this is one I see in every video a stranger make about France but I've never understood that. Because while it's true that public services (and sometime family members) are rarely on time, it's expected of you to be on time and even earlier in some situation (job interviews for example). 13) Kinda true, guess we all think that it's always nice to come with something if you're invited to someone's. 14) True, we don't know each others, don't touch me. Probably even more since covid. For the bise, it's being less and less done (even more since covid). Women do the bise to close friends men, men usually shake hand, some close friends or family members men can do the bise. Number differ depending on which region you are in. 15) I'm not actually sure about that one, I never saw someone ask for one. People usually finish their meal, it's not huge portions. 16) Depend on the restaurant, if you're in some high pricey luxury one yeah sure but otherwise depending on what you ask, it's fine. Also yes ketchup for anything than fries and you'll prob get weird looks x) 17) True, butter is usually for breakfast. Though I'm sure some restaurant wouldn't mind. 18) Yeah, if tell without being asked, it's just pure show off and as D say, it's the same everywhere. Money talks is weird, more in some countries than others ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19) Kinda, basic respect is waiting for everyone to be served. 20) I don't think I ever saw anybody care about you doing it with your hands... we all do it I kind of wondering if this lady isn't living in "high society" or something. Most things are the same in most part of France, the only difference is that in some, peoples are more relaxed.
I'm sorry madame but no, I'm a french dude living near Paris and we aren't THAT demanding ! You can wear flip flop and leggings if you want, you can have all sort of nails you want and, I ASSURE YOU, a lot of parisian people will be much louder than you don't worry and, If it is possible, do not be late please ! But I admit the rules in the restaurant are pretty accurate. The french people are very proud too I'll give you that x) (Don't be drunk in the streets tho, she's right about that..)
oui ok bien sûr; en France tu portes en gros ce que tu veux mais bon, le legging, disons que si ce n'est pas pour du sport, ou si tu n'as pas une taille de guêpes (et encore) on se dira que c'est un étranger ou un beuf ...
et pourtant y a tellement de gens bourré le soir à Paris, vaut mieux pas sortir seule en tant que femme si tu veux pas avoir de problèmes, c'est trop le bordel Paris xD
@@Lilirinne Getting drunk in the UK means sleeping in your vomit on the sidewalk. That's badly seen in France as it's assumed that means you can't control your alcohol consumption.
@@rhdrhd3255 bien sûr que si, je n'aime pas me salire les doigts donc quand je peux éviter, je sauce avec une fourchette et un bout de pain 😀On n'est pas des sauvages tout de même ^^
Paris est un monde à part comparé à la France d'autour. Dans ma campagne c'est le respect qui est important, la politesse, le service, l’honnêteté, et si un français te regarde bizarrement c'est que le français rurale n'aime pas les gens qui vont vers eux trop spontanément avec une confiance absolue, la confiance se gagne au prix d'efforts, de courtoisies, le respect des anciens, le service, le don de soi. Je dirais même que se sont des valeurs catholiques encore présentes chez les français de la campagne, en ville c'est bien différent, et j'ai bien connu les deux. Conclusion : Respect, politesse, patience et simplicité. Try to understand in french my friend :p maybe these words can teach you more about it.
Non, c'est au contraire très mal élevé de saucer en plantant la fourchette dans le pain... En fait c'est très impoli de planter du pain ( tradition catholique oblige... On ne plante pas le corps du Christ 😊) et on ne pose pas non plus le pain à l'envers ! Le pain c'est avec les doigts!
la parfaite vlogueuse américaine qui croit connaître les coutumes d'une ville comme PARIS juste parce qu'elle a passé un peu de temps dans les endroits les plus touristiques , je déteste ce genres de videos. Je voudrais bien voir cette femme dans le quartier de la goutte d'ore , château d'eau , le 18 em....etc bref les endroits où l'on rencontre les vrais Gens de tout les jours dans leurs quotidien
Oh, and for Thing 14 : If you want to know more about the "la bise" things, I advise you to check british/french comedian Paul Taylor who sums it up pretty clearly with those words : "Bin,, ça dépend" ("Well, it depends") and "c'est compliqué" ("it's complicated").
@@kyions235si c'est exagéré donc ce n'est pas vrai 🤔 c'est comme si je dis que t'étais débile sauf que j'ai l'impression de ne pas exagérer,vu ton commentaire. RÉFLÉCHI À CA🤔😉
Being French is to feel free to wear, say or eat anything you want. We are a Latin country so we speak loud 😅 Remember that Paris is a microcosm and not representative of France 😉
Ah bon !? parce que perso je trouve qu'on est moins bruyant que les italiens par exemple (je suis du sud-est) et je déteste les gens qui parlent fort dans la rue ou dans les transports 😬 ça peut arriver, mais quand c'est des italiens, la différence est... assourdissante ! 😆
@@hananoush4109 On sera toujours moins bruyant qu’un italien ou un espagnol c’est certain 😅 Mais vivant à Lyon je peux vous dire que ça braille notamment au téléphone.
As someone livid in Paris, I wouldn’t care if you do or not what she said but yes please keep the t-shirt and please don’t be late. If you are a visitor just 1 start always with bonjour 2 please don’t stand in the middle of the escalators ( French people at Paris are working not visiting so please don’t be in the way). 3 be respectful to the servants at the restaurants and don’t forget the tip.
@@Allcomesfromnothing don’t forget the tip ? Are you a waiter in Paris ? Lol je t’ai grillé 😏 Je plaisante 🙃 Édit : about the t-shirt I can’t really say because it just depends on where/where/why you’re topless lol. Sinon tu passes vite pour un gros douchbag en effet
Dans un restaurant, lorsque le serveur ou la serveuse vient débarrasser le plat en demandant si celà a été, je dis "Non, j'ai pas aimé"... Le plat est nickel... saucé jusqu'à la dernière goutte !!! Il y a toujours un petit sourire !!!! 😂😂😂
There are no rules in Paris. I was born and raised there. Paris during the day is just full of tourists and non parisians here fore work or school. Everyone wears whatever the hell they want. On hot weather days you will find topless men in Parks and mini shorts and skirts eeeeverywhere. Non-sens 😊
Don’t do scarpetta (learned a new Italian expression there) in France is total BS. We do it all the time, though I’ll admit it’s not something you’d do in a fancy restaurant. But with friends and family, casual settings that’s totally OK (especially if the sauce is really good). Plus, you’re giving back a clean plate which is always easier to wash 😉 Same thing with bread and butter (especially beurre demi-sel). In restaurants, they might not like it because they don’t want you to fill up on bread and actually order food, but otherwise there’s no problem doing it. Eating with your hands, that depends. French fries, hamburgers and food like that, that were designed to eat with your hands in the first place, no problem unless it’s shared with other persons. Knife and fork are definitely preferred more than usual in other countries I suppose, but with certain types of food it’s just common sense and more practical to use your hands. You can be critic about French things, but it must be justified by non-biased facts and not just arrogantly comparing your own country to ours. Sadly, that’s a common stereotypical American behavior : “your country suck at doing that, we in the US…”. That said, I agree that we should be a little more like the brits that take most of those critics with a refreshing self-deprecating humor. Because as has been said, we are not shy to critic our own country between ourselves.
Pourquoi? C'est plus admissible à Nantes ou à Anger de manger comme un goret? Qu'est ce que c'est que ces conneries de provinciaux jaloux. Franchement.
Sérieusement, qui mange des frites avec une fourchette mdrr Pareil pour le pain à la fin, j'ai toujours nettoyé mon assiettes avec un bout de pain dans ma main
Hi Uncle D, 🌴🌞 For the five first ones, there seem to be more tips than things to never do. Well, even the following is exaggerated. Don't forget to say bonjour is the best tip of this video. After you say bonjour, you can say you don't speak French, and if people speak a bit of English, they'll try to help you. It's also true when we're invited to friends or family, depending on the person, we tend to arrive a little later than expected. For example, if the person who invited you tells you to come around 11.00 am, we'll arrive between 11.30 and 12.45 am (unless it's for a specific appointment such as a movie or taking a train). That way, if the person who invites you faces an unforeseen event, they'll have time to correct the problem before we arrive or, in the worst case, tell us to not come. Except for a few special dishes like smoked salmon, radishes, and a few others, it's true that at meals, we don't spread our baguette with butter. For the simple reason that most French dishes already contain butter, oil, or a sauce. Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
a lot of "you must", of " absolutly don't", as a French , I want to say, it's ok, we are not so fussy, I think that most people don't care.. Pète un coup Josiane tu vas te faire un ulcère !
Well, it depends on where you are. Here in Bretagne, it is normal to have butter (salted butter though) with bread. En bretagne, le pain beurre, c'est sacré !
It was great to see you react, as always you are very entertaining BUT this video is wrong about maaany things. I wanted to write a comment to clarify some points but as the video went on, the list began to be too long and I don't want to write an essay about it haha
As one of the only French that was living in an international community during several years, I had a lot of Americans, Japaneses, British, Germans etc.. that said to me I was a little bit too honest/direct but I can say, you never saw a brutally straightforward person until you meet a Dutch person... LOL
butter with baguette: you can ask, no one will flame you (you can ask politely: "hé connard, sors toi les doigts du cul et file moi du beurre ou je t'éclate" 😁). in restaurant, bread is usually for accompanying the food, so it's not the food itself. If you sauce, you shouldn't need butter, as the sauce is enough. if you're having a sandwich or breakfast, or even if you have salmon in a restaurant, butter is completely fine. - you can criticize snails, not everyone like them.
I spent a good time !! ☺Yes all this is more or less true, it depends on the social group you frequent, who you go out with, but most of the time what shocks is the lack of education or politeness actually, and yes we are chauvinistic when it comes to our culture, our wines, our monuments! ☺
Le seul plat qui peut se manger avec les doigts (hors Fast-food) c'est les fameuses "Moules frites" (Mussels with french fries). Et la 12th n'est pas vraiment exact. On tolère un retard de 5 minutes maximum. Et comme dit le problème : "Avant l'heure c'est pas l'heure, après l'heure c'est plus l'heure". :)
The no shirt thing can actualy get you a fine if zealot police is in the area. They don't really enforce it, but they can if that help them in any way.
Ok D, that's noted, the sentence "Hey bonjour connard, est-ce que tu parles un peu d'anglais ? Non ? Est-ce que tu es un idiot ?" should get us through most situations in France, thanks.
About butter on bread: there's a big exception in Brittany. People there are real salted butter enthusiasts, and they can spread it anytime on their baguette!!! I agree that butter on good bread is amazing. But try good baguette, good salted butter, and some pieces of good dark chocolate on top. Classic "goûter" in France, for me it beats some Michelin stars recipes. Same vibe as the classic simple "jambon beurre".
Another foreign "France expert", with a strong central EUR. or russian accent : let's go with the clichés...again... In fact : english is almost mandatory, as a 1st foreign language, from 11 to 18 years old, in french schools, but french people don't speak it, because they think tourists have to make an effort, and learn some french words before travelling to france. Quite normal for everyone, except US people... Some countries in eastern europe learn less english than the french, but it's not a reason for not visiting them. Just learn foreign words, don't be lazy, and don't think every local is your slave : 99% of them don't need tourists, and are often annoyed by their bad manners...
Funny, some of the things are totally true. The first ones around fashion, have a bite of common sense but this not something that most of the french would really care. But for the rest of it I should agree on many when you are in a restaurant except that you can and you should take the sauce in your plate with your bread (and this is what you don't put butter on it. In the tradition the bread is use to push food in your fork, and when you finish you plate you eat the bread that have all the juice and the sauce. But there is some case where butter is totally admited with bread, for breakfast (it is true) but also with cheese, with seafoods, with charcuterie (especially with saucisson).
11:50 > Listen carefully to D. He speaks words of wisdom ! Best advice you'll ever get ! :D See you in Paris with that in mind ! :D Thing 11 : Absolutely ! We do it very well by ourselves ! We don't need your help ! :D
I react after seing her makeover advices. Acording to me those are fashion opinions, or advices for "not to look like an obvious US tourist amongst french locals..." To me her advices are general facts to better "fit in", I guess, but no explicit "rules"... 'cause we (french) would break a lot of it!!! ... Yet, all your side advices are soooo true, i couldn't agree much!!! Merci, Connard!!! ;) ;* J'adôôôre tes vidéos, continue, tu me régales!!! Bises Barbues depuis l'Auvergne! ;* [EDIT = ] Butter on baguette is for "Tartines" (= toasts) au petit déjeuner ou au goûter . You eat butter on baguette for Breakfast or afternoon snack, but not while dining or supper... Butter's got it's own rules : do you take it salted, half salted or raw? do you put jam over it? those are good manners to learn young and tastes to develop afterward!!! But hell yeah, Baguette & Butter kicks *ss!!!! la Bise!
1: couldn't care less 2: meh 3: dont care, but for women it could be true for security reason depends where you are, what time is it and if you're alone 4 & 5 : i'm a dude so i dont care 6: YES ! keep quiet for f*** sake 7: goes with 6, if you want to get drunk, do it at a friends house or to the pub 8: except for take away or fast food, use fork/knife/spoon 9: yes, i don't want to know HOW YOU CHEW 10: try "bonjour, parlez vous anglais ?" we'll all try to help you, and yes, always say bonjour when you enter a shop 11: try to complain about France and French and we'll go medieval on your country and yourself 12: you can show up on time or 15 minutes late max, but NEVER before time 13: yes we all do that 14: yes no hug, don't enter my personal area 15: you can ask doggy bag everywhere now, just don't do it in a restaurant with michelin stars 16: you can ask to switch some inggredients 17: you can have butter, some restaurants will give it with the bread 18: if we don't ask don't tell, it's just show off 19: just wait for everybody to be served 20: we all do it, it's total bullshit
oh man, you made me have a big laugh !! ! 'm french and i assume she's a little girly that one.... However, she's right on all the items except wine! And by the way, Emily is definitely not from Paris!😀😀😀
If complaining was an Olympic discipline, the French would be winning gold medals all the time.The basic thing when visiting a country is to learn a minimum of words or phrases, it's a sign of respect. your look when you see French pastries, it's priceless.😍 🍰😍. Most French people hate people who are late for an appointment. the baguette for lunch is to mop up the dish unless you have cheese at the end of the meal then you are offered butter.
There's a big gap between Paris and its suburbs, or further, our countryside ! Paris, the very town I live in, is snobisch for centuries. We're used to say" A french guy is a sad italian guy" and just like John Lennon, I add this one: "French Rock'n roll is to wine what their wine is to british poeple"
thinking about "don't eat with fingers"... how do french people eat frog legs? (I don't). I would say, don't eat with your fingers unless you are given "rince doigts" eventually
C'est faux pour le doggybag, ça a changé ces dernières années suite a une loi qui oblige les restaurants a le faire (pour éviter le gaspilage). Après si c'est un bon restau oui c'est pas très classe mais ça passe. This is wrong for the doggybag, it has changed in recent years following a law which obliges restaurants to do it (to avoid waste. Afterwards if it is a good restaurant yes it is not very classy but it works.
mouai; bon peut-être à Paris mais ailleurs c'est encore quand même très rare; je peux comprendre qu'on le fasse mais bah perso, culturellement je ne pourrais pas le faire ... ca fait un peu le "pauvre" (c'est stupide c'est vrai mais euh voilà quoi)
Déjà, Paris : c'est pas la France, ce sont deux choses différentes. Dans cette vidéo, Certaines choses sont vraies, d'autres sont exagérées. Pour les leggings à paris, c'est moins classe qu'ailleurs en France, mais c'est pas choquant. Pour un restaurant, en effet, c'est pas très approprié mais des femmes en legging dans le train ou dans les rues parisiennes, j'en ai déjà vu et c'est pas un problème. Le problème c'est qu'en france, et surtout à paris, la femme a du mal à s'assumer car on vit dans une société où les hommes sifflent les femmes dès qu'elle s'habillent sexy, et il y a de plus en plus de viols... Donc c'est la liberté de la femme qui est limitée malheureusement. Le respect de la femme est encore à améliorer. Pour les bisous, nous c'est deux, en belgique c'est un seul, ça dépend vraiment des pays. Le reste, comme les coudes sur la table, je le fais et y a pas de problème... A paris, y a + de retenue car il vaut mieux être classe, mais paris c'est pas la france et partout ailleurs en France, presque tout ce qui est déconseillé sur cette video est tolérable.
@@Jerome-pr5jz j'ai jamais compris le truc des coudes, genre pourquoi c'est mal vu? bien sûr on m'a appris a pas le faire mais j'ai jamais compris pourquoi
it's because it's your video, otherwise I wouldn't have gone after 3. Nothing is true. Okay, Paris is another world, but flip-flops for some people are a year-round thing, you have to cross the "Périphérique". and in the South it's a religion 🤣🩴
I watched olympique the first 3 and it's complete rubish. This woman probably stayed only in the 16th or 8th arrondissement and obviously never took the métro. It looks like an episode of Emily in Paris. I used to be in flip flop when I was living in Paris.
Un petit mot sur le fait d'arriver en retard ... En France c'est appelé le "quart d'heure de courtoisie" Pourquoi ? Il est totalement impensable d'arriver en avance : çà donne l'impression d'une personne qui est pressée de se mettre à table ( TRES mal vu ) Il est plutôt toléré voire apprécié d'arriver légèrement en retard pour deux raisons : 1/ pour éviter d'arriver en avance et les conséquences écrites plus haut, 2/ Cela permet à la personne qui invite d'avoir le temps de tout mettre en place pour bien vous recevoir, de finaliser les petits détails de dernière minute, et SURTOUT, il ne faut pas oublier que la cuisine française est souvent faite "à la minute" pour certains plats... et donc la personne qui vous invite doit avoir le temps de bien gérer le timing du repas qu'elle va vous proposer. English version : A quick word about being late ... In France it is called the "quarter of an hour of courtesy" Why? It is totally unthinkable to arrive early : this gives the impression of a person who is in a hurry to get to the table (REALLY not seen well) It is rather tolerated or even appreciated to arrive slightly late for two reasons: 1/ to avoid arriving early and the consequences written above, 2/ This allows the person who invites to have time to put everything in place to receive you well, to finalize the last minute details, and ABOVE all, it is important not to forget that French cuisine is often made "by the minute" for some dishes... and therefore the person who invites you must have time to manage the timing of the meal that she will offer you.
Most of them are correct but some only applies in big cities Some are because the law doesnt allow you to do it (being topless for women is not allowed, only is some places, but u can do it if you are a man, but most of men dont do it) For the last one its true and wrong, u can do it but u have to not full clean your plate, and to end a meal you have in restaurant to put your forch and knife on your plate together to let the waiters know that u are done with your meal The first one's are also true and wrong, women can wear what they want but not everywhere or anytime. Plus lot of works doesnt allow women to wear lot of make up. Sorry too lazy to debunk everything ^^ (And i'm not using any translator so i couldnt even if i wanted to...)
Je te conseille GRANDEMENT les émissions appelées "Strip Tease". Surtout les épisodes : - Comique - Recherche Bergère désespérément - Docteur Lulu C'est une émission présentant des situations de vie absurde, horriblement drôles et malheureuses en même temps.

Bonjour, les français adorent le concept de tes vidéos, s’il te plaît peux-tu faire une vidéo réaction à la vidéo « Les Jones » de Mister V (comique français comme Palmashow)
Omg how she's pissing me off to say that much false things, it's so hard for me to watch this entirely 😅 there's only few things she's right and still (only half of the things she said are right more or less) anyway, c'est toujours un plaisir de regardé tes vidéos malgré que cette vidéo était la plus difficile a regardé pour ma part 😄 Bonne journée (ou soirée) a vous, much love from Picardie (the region just on the north of paris)

I am born in Paris and here. It’s crap, she says anything, it is more the tastes of a certain high bourgeoisie French for some cases that she mentions, but not the French. The only true one, it's don't eat with your hands; coming with something to offert in a party; After that, hug it's between friends and couples no strangers. Doggy bagis allowed today a new law force to do it. W are using butter on a baguette for breakfast and it's not a crime to do it an another time. For the party late it's only because we have a anteparty before the party.
I'm french and there are a lot thing wrong in this video :
n° 3 : of course you can wear mini short, especially in summer
n° 7 : of course you can get drunk, like every one else, but not at the level of a British
n° 8 : of course we eat with our hands, especially fries, chips, sandwiches, pizza, burger etc...
n° 12 : you can be late of 15min depending of the circumstances but over that it's rude
n° 15 : you can ask for a doggy bag, most of the restaurant do it even if it's not an usual thing
n° 17 : you can't butter your bread ?! wrong ! wrong ! buttering bread it's an old fashion tradition but still widespread especially in traditional or gastronomic restaurants
n° 20 : finally "scarpetta", we call it "saucer", and it's very appreciated to do it but absolutely not with bread on the fork, it's almost offensive to use fork and knife on bread.
Eating with your hands depends on the place where you are. It's accepted when it goes about fast food or street food, but in a real restaurant you're expected to eat even pizzas and burgers with a fork and knife. And to tell the truth, I actually like that as that keeps your hands clean.

1°) You can wear flip-flops in France. As for Paris, you can wear them too, but it’s true that some people might look at you as if you lack fashion sense.
2°) Regarding leggings, that’s completely false. Parisians do wear leggings, even when they’re out grocery shopping.
3°) About mini-shorts, you can wear them, but just like in other big cities around the world, there are sexual predators, and unfortunately, it can attract unwanted attention, such as groping or sexual harassment. So, it’s not recommended. However, being shirtless in a public area (except at pools or beaches) is prohibited by law.
4°) It’s hard to have a definitive stance on this because everyone has their own perception of what is "TOO much." But yes, if you go out with makeup that resembles "Cardi B’s" style, you might get mocking looks. We tend to prefer simplicity and a natural look-it also avoids surprises the next morning when the makeup comes off.
5°) Same comment as point 4°.
6°) This is a bit exaggerated. It’s just that loud laughter draws attention because people might be curious and wonder, "What’s so funny?"
7°)So much exaggerated, it's not true !!😂but for the information... Being drunk in public is illegal, but if you’re not a danger to others or disturbing anyone, the police usually won’t bother you. At most, they might escort you home if you can’t walk properly to prevent an accident. In some cases, you could be taken to a detox cell until you’re sober.
8°) In France, eating with your hands is seen as a lack of manners, but there are exceptions, such as sandwiches, hamburgers, pizza, or ribs. However, if you go to a restaurant and eat green beans or fish with your hands, it will be frowned upon. Similarly, eating with your mouth open, making noises, or putting your elbows on the table are also considered impolite.
9°) Of course, you shouldn’t talk with your mouth full. First, it’s hard to understand what the person is saying-imagine how it sounds with a full mouth: "whad de vuck." And most importantly, no one wants bits of food flying in their face.
10°) It’s totally true. Saying Bonjour, S’il vous plaît, Merci, and Au revoir shows you are polite, and it will always be appreciated.
11°) Here’s a funny anecdote: we French people complain all the time. We often criticize things about France, but if a tourist dares to criticize our country-oh boy, we’ll "insult your ancestors." It’s such a ridiculous behavior, but we just can’t help ourselves.
12°) False. I think this might have been misinterpreted. In France, we do appreciate punctuality, and being late is considered rude. However, the problem is that more and more French people are becoming selfish and adopting a "Fais ce que je dis, pas ce que je fais --translation: Do as I say, not as I do" attitude. That means your conversation partner might think it’s fine for them to be late and make you wait, but it’s unacceptable for you to do the same. This kind of behavior is unfortunately becoming more common.
13°) Yes, when you’re invited to an evening party or dinner at someone’s home, it’s customary to bring a bouquet of flowers for the hostess and a bottle of wine for the host. For example, when my parents invite me to dinner (yes, this also applies to family), I always bring a bouquet of flowers for my mother and a bottle of wine for my father, which he usually opens to enjoy during the meal. Of course, you can bring other gifts besides flowers and wine.
14°) I disagree; we know how to adapt. If you hug a French person, we’ll find it amusing because, yes, we usually greet with a kiss on the cheek (la bise), but if someone gives us a hug, we won’t view it negatively. So, don’t overthink this.
However, it’s not entirely accurate to say that there are always two kisses in France-it depends on the region. I’d say in 60-70% of the regions, it’s two kisses. In the south of France, it’s three kisses. In regions east of Paris, it’s four kisses, and from what I recall, there’s a zone in Brittany (west of Paris) where it’s just one kiss.
15°) Regarding doggy bags, you can ask for one, but it’s true that this type of request isn’t very common here. Don’t hesitate to ask if needed, but be aware that some restaurants might refuse because they don’t have the necessary containers for takeout. However, most of the time, it won’t be an issue.
16°) False. People may have allergies and ask the server if it’s possible to leave out certain ingredients, like nuts in a dish. You just need to ask politely, for example: "Hello, I’d like a hot dog, please. Would it be possible to leave out the mustard? Thank you so much." If you say, "A hot dog, no mustard," it might be seen as rude. Yes, the customer is king, but that doesn’t mean you’re exempt from basic politeness-restaurant employees aren’t your dogs...

Exactly right

Tf do you mean most leftist ?! As in western Paris, geographically?
The people that she frequents are obviously not lefties politically lol.
My dear american friend, in France, we can do scarpetta. Its a sign that you loved food. Espacially out of Paris.
"doggy bags" in some restaurants, when your kid (or teenage kid) can't finish more than half of the dish, some restaurants ask if you want them to pack the rest, because they understand the meal was too big for some kids. It happens also when you ordered quite an expansive wine and leave half the bottle, they have special bags to take the bottle back.
My 2cts as a French that has been living in Paris area for 9 years going on 10, from my experience:
1) Nobody cares honestly, maybe if you go into super chic places but I've seen so many people wearing similar to flip-flop every when temps are warm enough (or not).
2) Same as flip-flop,nobody care about what you wear.
3) For topless in public, it's a bit weird in every big city, not just in Paris.
4-5) I'm not sure if ladies care about makeup/nails, maybe that's a lady thing but the overall population won't care. Sure if you're painting your face of badly put up makeup they will but it's the same everywhere.
6) That's actually true, people hate when you go loud, I'd like to think that's the same everywhere, basic respect. There are still a bunch that don't care and will do.
7) Same as the previous one, I'd like to think people overall don't like seeing/dealing with drunk people, specially during the day. Even more after a long day of work
8) That really depend on what and where you eat. If you're eating at a restaurant sure, if you're eating McDonald’s or street food, nobody will care if you eat with your hands.
9) That one is probably the most real in this list, speaking with food in your mouth is disgusting. Again, I'd like to think it's a basic respect thing but well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
10) That's true, mostly because English in school was (and probably is still though less) a joke. Also if you come to a country, make the effort to try speaking their language and not expect them to speak yours. A few words will suffice. Also say bonjour/hello first thing, they'll open up a bit more.
11) Heh, maybe. You better complain about something that isn't worse in your country if you do tho :D
12) You know, this is one I see in every video a stranger make about France but I've never understood that. Because while it's true that public services (and sometime family members) are rarely on time, it's expected of you to be on time and even earlier in some situation (job interviews for example).
13) Kinda true, guess we all think that it's always nice to come with something if you're invited to someone's.
14) True, we don't know each others, don't touch me. Probably even more since covid. For the bise, it's being less and less done (even more since covid). Women do the bise to close friends men, men usually shake hand, some close friends or family members men can do the bise. Number differ depending on which region you are in.
15) I'm not actually sure about that one, I never saw someone ask for one. People usually finish their meal, it's not huge portions.
16) Depend on the restaurant, if you're in some high pricey luxury one yeah sure but otherwise depending on what you ask, it's fine. Also yes ketchup for anything than fries and you'll prob get weird looks x)
17) True, butter is usually for breakfast. Though I'm sure some restaurant wouldn't mind.
18) Yeah, if tell without being asked, it's just pure show off and as D say, it's the same everywhere. Money talks is weird, more in some countries than others ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
19) Kinda, basic respect is waiting for everyone to be served.
20) I don't think I ever saw anybody care about you doing it with your hands... we all do it
I kind of wondering if this lady isn't living in "high society" or something.
Most things are the same in most part of France, the only difference is that in some, peoples are more relaxed.
Wtf is she talking about ??? Everything she's saying is either a big exaggeration or just fake
I'm sorry madame but no, I'm a french dude living near Paris and we aren't THAT demanding ! You can wear flip flop and leggings if you want, you can have all sort of nails you want and, I ASSURE YOU, a lot of parisian people will be much louder than you don't worry and, If it is possible, do not be late please ! But I admit the rules in the restaurant are pretty accurate. The french people are very proud too I'll give you that x)

Paris est un monde à part comparé à la France d'autour. Dans ma campagne c'est le respect qui est important, la politesse, le service, l’honnêteté, et si un français te regarde bizarrement c'est que le français rurale n'aime pas les gens qui vont vers eux trop spontanément avec une confiance absolue, la confiance se gagne au prix d'efforts, de courtoisies, le respect des anciens, le service, le don de soi.
Je dirais même que se sont des valeurs catholiques encore présentes chez les français de la campagne, en ville c'est bien différent, et j'ai bien connu les deux.
Conclusion : Respect, politesse, patience et simplicité.
Try to understand in french my friend :p maybe these words can teach you more about it.

There are no rules in Paris. I was born and raised there. Paris during the day is just full of tourists and non parisians here fore work or school. Everyone wears whatever the hell they want. On hot weather days you will find topless men in Parks and mini shorts and skirts eeeeverywhere.

The original title video should have been : 20 Things You Should Never do in Paris and in FRANCE if you're a superficial woman
Don’t do scarpetta (learned a new Italian expression there) in France is total BS. We do it all the time, though I’ll admit it’s not something you’d do in a fancy restaurant. But with friends and family, casual settings that’s totally OK (especially if the sauce is really good). Plus, you’re giving back a clean plate which is always easier to wash 😉
Same thing with bread and butter (especially beurre demi-sel). In restaurants, they might not like it because they don’t want you to fill up on bread and actually order food, but otherwise there’s no problem doing it.
Eating with your hands, that depends. French fries, hamburgers and food like that, that were designed to eat with your hands in the first place, no problem unless it’s shared with other persons. Knife and fork are definitely preferred more than usual in other countries I suppose, but with certain types of food it’s just common sense and more practical to use your hands.
You can be critic about French things, but it must be justified by non-biased facts and not just arrogantly comparing your own country to ours. Sadly, that’s a common stereotypical American behavior : “your country suck at doing that, we in the US…”. That said, I agree that we should be a little more like the brits that take most of those critics with a refreshing self-deprecating humor. Because as has been said, we are not shy to critic our own country between ourselves.

Hi Uncle D, 🌴🌞
For the five first ones, there seem to be more tips than things to never do.
Well, even the following is exaggerated.
Don't forget to say bonjour is the best tip of this video. After you say bonjour, you can say you don't speak French, and if people speak a bit of English, they'll try to help you.
It's also true when we're invited to friends or family, depending on the person, we tend to arrive a little later than expected.
For example, if the person who invited you tells you to come around 11.00 am, we'll arrive between 11.30 and 12.45 am (unless it's for a specific appointment such as a movie or taking a train).
That way, if the person who invites you faces an unforeseen event, they'll have time to correct the problem before we arrive or, in the worst case, tell us to not come.
Except for a few special dishes like smoked salmon, radishes, and a few others, it's true that at meals, we don't spread our baguette with butter.
For the simple reason that most French dishes already contain butter, oil, or a sauce.
Peace, folks. ☮👈😎

In fact, butter can be ask with cheese at the end, in some restaurant but not during the rest of the meal. (or with planche de charcuteries)
Well, it depends on where you are. Here in Bretagne, it is normal to have butter (salted butter though) with bread. En bretagne, le pain beurre, c'est sacré !
It was great to see you react, as always you are very entertaining BUT this video is wrong about maaany things. I wanted to write a comment to clarify some points but as the video went on, the list began to be too long and I don't want to write an essay about it haha
As one of the only French that was living in an international community during several years, I had a lot of Americans, Japaneses, British, Germans etc.. that said to me I was a little bit too honest/direct but I can say, you never saw a brutally straightforward person until you meet a Dutch person... LOL
butter with baguette: you can ask, no one will flame you (you can ask politely: "hé connard, sors toi les doigts du cul et file moi du beurre ou je t'éclate" 😁). in restaurant, bread is usually for accompanying the food, so it's not the food itself. If you sauce, you shouldn't need butter, as the sauce is enough. if you're having a sandwich or breakfast, or even if you have salmon in a restaurant, butter is completely fine. - you can criticize snails, not everyone like them.
I spent a good time !! ☺Yes all this is more or less true, it depends on the social group you frequent, who you go out with, but most of the time what shocks is the lack of education or politeness actually, and yes we are chauvinistic when it comes to our culture, our wines, our monuments! ☺
Le seul plat qui peut se manger avec les doigts (hors Fast-food) c'est les fameuses "Moules frites" (Mussels with french fries). Et la 12th n'est pas vraiment exact.

Another foreign "France expert", with a strong central EUR. or russian accent : let's go with the clichés...again...
In fact : english is almost mandatory, as a 1st foreign language, from 11 to 18 years old, in french schools,
but french people don't speak it, because they think tourists have to make an effort, and learn some french
words before travelling to france. Quite normal for everyone, except US people...
Some countries in eastern europe learn less english than the french, but it's not a reason for not visiting them.
Just learn foreign words, don't be lazy, and don't think every local is your slave : 99% of them don't need
tourists, and are often annoyed by their bad manners...
Funny, some of the things are totally true. The first ones around fashion, have a bite of common sense but this not something that most of the french would really care. But for the rest of it I should agree on many when you are in a restaurant except that you can and you should take the sauce in your plate with your bread (and this is what you don't put butter on it. In the tradition the bread is use to push food in your fork, and when you finish you plate you eat the bread that have all the juice and the sauce. But there is some case where butter is totally admited with bread, for breakfast (it is true) but also with cheese, with seafoods, with charcuterie (especially with saucisson).

7: goes with 6, if you want to get drunk, do it at a friends house or to the pub
8: except for take away or fast food, use fork/knife/spoon
9: yes, i don't want to know HOW YOU CHEW

20: we all do it, it's total bullshit
I skip at barely 5 minutes, that's too much for me.
Perhaps she's thinking that she's an actress in Emily in Paris, that's why !
oh man, you made me have a big laugh !! ! 'm french and i assume she's a little girly that one.... However, she's right on all the items except wine! And by the way, Emily is definitely not from Paris!😀😀😀
If complaining was an Olympic discipline, the French would be winning gold medals all the time.The basic thing when visiting a country is to learn a minimum of words or phrases, it's a sign of respect. your look when you see French pastries, it's priceless.😍 🍰😍. Most French people hate people who are late for an appointment. the baguette for lunch is to mop up the dish unless you have cheese at the end of the meal then you are offered butter.
US people in France would win "complaining olympics" !!
There's a big gap between Paris and its suburbs, or further, our countryside ! Paris, the very town I live in, is snobisch for centuries. We're used to say" A french guy is a sad italian guy" and just like John Lennon, I add this one: "French Rock'n roll is to wine what their wine is to british poeple"
She's litterally does not know France nor Paris. That is just what she thinks Paris is (I am french)
Bring a Burger ! XD That could work actually if it's a burger coming straight from the US.
thinking about "don't eat with fingers"... how do french people eat frog legs? (I don't). I would say, don't eat with your fingers unless you are given "rince doigts" eventually
there are things that are a bit true and others that make you smile
I'm french and I hate to be late
Vous ne craignez pas que votre ironie soit prise au premier degré ? 😂😂😂
My mom use to do the same for the elbow on the table, or get mad if we keep our hands under the table
C'est faux pour le doggybag, ça a changé ces dernières années suite a une loi qui oblige les restaurants a le faire (pour éviter le gaspilage). Après si c'est un bon restau oui c'est pas très classe mais ça passe.
This is wrong for the doggybag, it has changed in recent years following a law which obliges restaurants to do it (to avoid waste. Afterwards if it is a good restaurant yes it is not very classy but it works.
mouai; bon peut-être à Paris mais ailleurs c'est encore quand même très rare; je peux comprendre qu'on le fasse mais bah perso, culturellement je ne pourrais pas le faire ... ca fait un peu le "pauvre" (c'est stupide c'est vrai mais euh voilà quoi)
@@jeflehardi91 Ils ne le proposent pas d'eux-mêmes , mais tu peux toujours poser la question.
one: we must not generalize.
two: Paris is not France
three : it's a caricature..
Quand tu manges seul, tu peux commencer le premier...
Déjà, Paris : c'est pas la France, ce sont deux choses différentes. Dans cette vidéo, Certaines choses sont vraies, d'autres sont exagérées. Pour les leggings à paris, c'est moins classe qu'ailleurs en France, mais c'est pas choquant. Pour un restaurant, en effet, c'est pas très approprié mais des femmes en legging dans le train ou dans les rues parisiennes, j'en ai déjà vu et c'est pas un problème. Le problème c'est qu'en france, et surtout à paris, la femme a du mal à s'assumer car on vit dans une société où les hommes sifflent les femmes dès qu'elle s'habillent sexy, et il y a de plus en plus de viols... Donc c'est la liberté de la femme qui est limitée malheureusement. Le respect de la femme est encore à améliorer. Pour les bisous, nous c'est deux, en belgique c'est un seul, ça dépend vraiment des pays. Le reste, comme les coudes sur la table, je le fais et y a pas de problème... A paris, y a + de retenue car il vaut mieux être classe, mais paris c'est pas la france et partout ailleurs en France, presque tout ce qui est déconseillé sur cette video est tolérable.
pour les coudes ca se perd , mais j ai 50 ans et avant c est vrai que ca se faisait pas
@@Jerome-pr5jz j'ai jamais compris le truc des coudes, genre pourquoi c'est mal vu? bien sûr on m'a appris a pas le faire mais j'ai jamais compris pourquoi
it's because it's your video, otherwise I wouldn't have gone after 3. Nothing is true. Okay, Paris is another world, but flip-flops for some people are a year-round thing, you have to cross the "Périphérique". and in the South it's a religion 🤣🩴
non mais la meuf elle a été que dans les quartiers riches c'est pas possible, quand on voit la gueule des resto derrière tu vois direct xD
I watched olympique the first 3 and it's complete rubish. This woman probably stayed only in the 16th or 8th arrondissement and obviously never took the métro. It looks like an episode of Emily in Paris. I used to be in flip flop when I was living in Paris.
Un petit mot sur le fait d'arriver en retard ...
En France c'est appelé le "quart d'heure de courtoisie"
Pourquoi ?
Il est totalement impensable d'arriver en avance : çà donne l'impression d'une personne qui est pressée de se mettre à table ( TRES mal vu )
Il est plutôt toléré voire apprécié d'arriver légèrement en retard pour deux raisons :
1/ pour éviter d'arriver en avance et les conséquences écrites plus haut,
2/ Cela permet à la personne qui invite d'avoir le temps de tout mettre en place pour bien vous recevoir, de finaliser les petits détails de dernière minute, et SURTOUT, il ne faut pas oublier que la cuisine française est souvent faite "à la minute" pour certains plats... et donc la personne qui vous invite doit avoir le temps de bien gérer le timing du repas qu'elle va vous proposer.
English version :
A quick word about being late ...
In France it is called the "quarter of an hour of courtesy"
Why?
It is totally unthinkable to arrive early : this gives the impression of a person who is in a hurry to get to the table (REALLY not seen well)
It is rather tolerated or even appreciated to arrive slightly late for two reasons:
1/ to avoid arriving early and the consequences written above,
2/ This allows the person who invites to have time to put everything in place to receive you well, to finalize the last minute details, and ABOVE all, it is important not to forget that French cuisine is often made "by the minute" for some dishes... and therefore the person who invites you must have time to manage the timing of the meal that she will offer you.
🤣C est n importe quoi!!Paris is not la france;
@@mezlo333 sauf d’apres les médias
la plus part de ces choses s'applique dans toute la France, y à juste des exagération, comme la fin mdr
@@Puggodoggo436 ce qui confirme donc que c est pas la france.🤣🤣
for n°12 it's true only in paris ...
baguette et beurre , surtout quand elle est encore chaude .. basique mais la meilleur chose au monde! ( surtout avec du beurre salé )
Most of them are correct but some only applies in big cities
Some are because the law doesnt allow you to do it (being topless for women is not allowed, only is some places, but u can do it if you are a man, but most of men dont do it)
For the last one its true and wrong, u can do it but u have to not full clean your plate, and to end a meal you have in restaurant to put your forch and knife on your plate together to let the waiters know that u are done with your meal
The first one's are also true and wrong, women can wear what they want but not everywhere or anytime. Plus lot of works doesnt allow women to wear lot of make up.
Sorry too lazy to debunk everything ^^ (And i'm not using any translator so i couldnt even if i wanted to...)
je suis francais de normandie,,, et c'est une bonne video !!!!!!!!!! meme si j'ai pas tout compris car je parle mal la langue des states
i can put buter on my bread for radish, or with shrimp or ham. But why americans put buter with camembert..... i cant understand.
ahhhhhhhh butter on bread with Radish - My Mom used to make us that for lunches - DELICIOUS
No to be sexy in Paris is dangerous now, it's an islamic city now :)
I give you the style in 10 years : the burka
( i am french)
Je te conseille GRANDEMENT les émissions appelées "Strip Tease".
Surtout les épisodes :
- Comique
- Recherche Bergère désespérément
- Docteur Lulu
C'est une émission présentant des situations de vie absurde, horriblement drôles et malheureuses en même temps.
Hello my friend, i'm french, i saw a lot of vidéo you made. I thank you cause you are really funny. I want to speak with you !!!
Give me a way to be able to talk with you please.
Sorry for my english/american, i'm learning with your videos
En Alsace, tu peux demander un "doggy bag", pas de problème.
subway is so quiet 😂😂. so stupid that you end up watching to see that she's talking bullshit right to the end 😅
Je suppose qu'elle a pris la ligne 13 avec NKM pour vivre un moment de grâce. 😅
Bonjour, les français adorent le concept de tes vidéos, s’il te plaît peux-tu faire une vidéo réaction à la vidéo « Les Jones » de Mister V (comique français comme Palmashow)
both were done on the music channel - not here - www.youtube.com/@ReactionsbyD
butter on baguette yep but at home^^
In france we don't like speak monney
always freeze a big mac for french people
She's obviously a foreigner who thinks this is Emily in Paris or something. Lots of projection there lol
Omg how she's pissing me off to say that much false things, it's so hard for me to watch this entirely 😅 there's only few things she's right and still (only half of the things she said are right more or less) anyway, c'est toujours un plaisir de regardé tes vidéos malgré que cette vidéo était la plus difficile a regardé pour ma part 😄 Bonne journée (ou soirée) a vous, much love from Picardie (the region just on the north of paris)
Le seul truc vraiment interdit c'est le port des sandales avec chaussettes de tennis ! "à l'allemande" voire "à l'anglo saxonne" : ca c'est interdit ! :) 😄
c'est pas interdit, c'est juste moche xD
That’s complete bs
Especially what u should wear or not while in France
Many girls or women do have hair extensions fancy manucures shorts or leggings etc
Pretty accurate! Ne faites pas ça!!! :) 6:38 Here in Brittany, it is 1 bottle for 2/3 persons, but Britanny is an exception! (with north, and south west, and Corsica) 10:45 "Va te FAIRE foutre ":D 15:00 it doesn't work with your job!!!!!!!! :D It is true when you are invited at a friend's house to let them do the last preparations. 15:35 Drugs are not allowed, ...In a family party! Perhaps with very good friends! :D For the 17point, bread and butter, you can do it at all meal. Scarpetta is authorized.
Now D! Make a react about "greg guillotin en montagne with Olivier" LMAO
I am born in Paris and here. It’s crap, she says anything, it is more the tastes of a certain high bourgeoisie French for some cases that she mentions, but not the French.
The only true one, it's don't eat with your hands; coming with something to offert in a party;
After that, hug it's between friends and couples no strangers. Doggy bagis allowed today a new law force to do it. W are using butter on a baguette for breakfast and it's not a crime to do it an another time.
For the party late it's only because we have a anteparty before the party.
She was a little over the top, but one thing was true: D, never wear your hair extensions in Paris, please. 😅
