Video Description

🇫🇷 What are the everyday things French people do that totally surprise Americans? In this video, I share some fascinating French cultural habits and daily life differences that most Americans would *never* think of doing — from opening a bottle of wine in public to parking on the sidewalk, to enjoying wine at a work lunch, and more. Living in France as an American has shown me just how many small cultural differences there are between French life and American life. None of these things are “better” or “worse” — they’re just different, and noticing them is part of the fun (and sometimes shock!) of expat life and living abroad. ✨ If you’re curious about French culture, moving to France, or just love learning about daily life abroad, this video is for you. 👍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more videos about France, expat life, and cultural differences! #ExpatLife #FrenchCulture #LivingInFrance #CultureShock 👕 / / M E R C H: https://bit.ly/3wl6RZa 🇫🇷 / / MADE IN FRANCE PRODUCTS: https://www.french-address.com/?ref=kx82ahfm 🛒 / / Where to buy French grocery products in the U.S.: https://www.mypanier.com/ouiinfrance 📲 / / Want to start an online business from scratch? https://bit.ly/4iKAF9Z 📺 / / Learn French the FUN way: https://fas.st/t/SeFjqukS eGuide: 75 BEGINNER FRANCE TIPS for a STANDOUT TRIP: https://bit.ly/3gzSWY5 💵 SUPPORT MY CHANNEL: http://ko-fi.com/ouiinfrance 💌 SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER (and get a FREE guide of DOs & DON'Ts for travel to France): https://bit.ly/3p790nK SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/ouiinfrance?sub_confirmation=1 How did I end up in France?
