I love your videos, thank you so much for taking all the effort, time, and selflessly giving of all your amazing experiences. Victor from Langley City, BC Canada 🇨🇦 God bless you 🙏 ❤️ ✝️
Great Video. Most of the points you make could equally apply to Liverpool.
Basically, you’re telling everybody to be courteous and nice and respectful, which is what they should be everywhere doesn’t matter if they’re in France or anywhere else. So many Americans are not respectful of other people and they also expect France to be like America. Unrealistic expectations. Thank you so much for your channel. We are learning so much and we are thinking about moving to France at the end of this year or the beginning of next year And we rely on your content to help us make a decision. Thank you,
Guess what, I live in San Francisco in the Castro and there's a blue house here in my neighborhood that is famous to French people from a song that was only popular there. French tourists are always posing in front of it in the same way American tourists pose in front of the Eiffel Tower. Can't we just all give each other the grace to understand that taking photos is a part of travel no matter where you are from and where you have travelled to? I thought that "rule" was just silly. It annoys the locals? well I think they look stupid taking pictures of themselves in front of a generic blue Victorian house in San Francisco – we're even.
how the hell does anyone in Paris know where I've been. Visiting lesser seen places is nice tip for the traveler but seems off topic with a "don't annoy Parisians" list.
Don’t be rude and arrogant and don’t dress like a slob. Not too hard.
I run 8 miles everyday on the treadmill and I’m worried this will still make it hard since the streets are not the smooth treadmill 😮
I live in a big city that is full of tourists. Tourists outnumber the residents. Tourists absolutely do not care about if they are rubbing the natives the wrong way. They are oblivious to everything, are rude and could care less. They block the sidewalk, the stairs, the escalators. They respect nothing. I think there should be a law that says Tourists are not allowed out of their hotels before 10AM. And I have often wondered in how many thousands of tourist photos I am in. oh and French courtesy ? I saw a French family walking in the street and the mom was scolding her teen son. The unhappy son said nothing and was just walking. Then she hauled off and hit him so hard that everyone on the sidewalk gasped and stopped in their tracks. She looked embarrassed because everyone was staring at her.
Hello, I'm French and find your vidéo wonderful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😀🙋🏽♀️
Excellent ! Dans cette liste, ce qui m'agace le plus de la part des touristes est – en effet – quand ils parlent TRÈS fort, et quand ils bloquent la file de gauche dans les escalators du métro (mais pour le métro, de plus en plus de locaux le font également !!!). Thank you, a very entertaining video for a parisian 😁🤩
When visiting a new country, I always ask hotel's receptionist how to say in local language a few phrases and words like good morning/day/evening, thank you, you're welcome and yes/no.
Yes, these rules apply everywhere.
These rules are universal!
S’il vous plaît, trier vos déchets : la bouteille de verre doit aller dans une poubelle pour le verre. 😮Merci.
Your blue and white striped sweater teamed with those scarves screams American tourist. Visiting a fabulous hairdresser will help you with a more stylish Paris look too.
Good basic advice! Merci pour ces conseils! Un Canadien en Asie ❤
This is why I love being french.
Tourist : doesn't say hello je vudray un cafay
Me: Sorry sir, I don't have coffee anymore. Go to McDonald's and ask the AI inside the terminal.
French bro: Bonjour, un allongé s'il vous plaît.
Me: Bien sûr, je vous l'apporte !
If there are at least 25 known things that can annoy Parisians, it is not surprising that they are fed up with tourists.
Several of these just sound like…If you are a tourist don't come. Example major attractions…who are they to tell them what they have to visit and get annoyed if they only want to see common things? Many though are just common sense things.
Ironic that the Parisians should be annoyed at people,seeing as they annoy the rest of France all year around.😅😅😅😅and
Almost all of these apply to travel anywhere.
Such a lovely video!!
Sorry but I will ask “Do you speck English” either verbally or on iOS translate app I would not say anything in French unless it is easy to say (due to my Autism I can stutter) but also English is a international language more people are adopting as a 2nd fluent language.
Summary of the video : Have some common sense 😂
Great video ! As a Parisian myself I'd like to add another tip for the metro. If you are in a crowded carriage and you are sitting on a folding seat, STAND UP. Otherwise we're losing so much place and that's something that we particularly hate in public transport. Usually, you would see Parisians stand up like one man when it's getting too crowded. Lastly as someone else said, take off your backpack. I've seen loads of tourists get off the metro and knock off other people's phone out of their hands without saying sorry.
And please, please, stay on the right when standing on an escalator !
Just to add some informations, about your first point. It’s not just an unspoken rule, it’s simply illegal. In France, not only you have to ask the permission to take the picture, but you also have to ask for the permission to use it as well.
I'm a Parisian. Very Parisian. I agree with all you said. Funny story : I live near the Gare du Nord which is the busiest train Station in Europe, with on one hand a lot of tourists or people from other parts of France or Europe and on the orher, Parisins using the sation eveyday for going to work. One day I was with a friend from the countryside. There were people on the left lane of the escalator. I unconsciously did what I do everyday in that case : first I say "Excusez moi", a bit loud but not aggressively. If the person doesn't move, I push him/her on the right, gently but firmly.
At the end of the staircase my countryside friend told me : "my God! you are so rude". I asked, bewildered : "Why?" He said : "the way you pushed people on this escalator!". I then realised that I was doing this all the time and that I was really a Parisian.
About luggages you are right, but as a Parisian I'm a bit ashamed : accessibility is very poor, especially in the metro. It's annoying if you have heavy luggages, very hard on parents with kids in pull-chairs, straight discriminating for disabled people. I really love my city, but this is one of the things I dislike the most. With pigeons : rats with wings.
What i have decided for myself after visiting Paris 10 years ago:I don't want to go back
Sorry,parisiens…
I think that can be apply to every country in the world, because that good sens, respect and education 😆
