The popular image of the French in the eyes of foreigners is the Parisian: that elusive, slim, stylish, rather snobby creature that somehow never gets fat. But are the Parisians really representative of French people?

If you’ve spent much time in France, like myself or my guest Oliver Gee, you’ll agree that they’re definitely not.

In fact, Parisians are their own breed, utterly different from the provinciaux, the rather condescending term Parisians use to refer to non-Parisians.

But France functions on a fundamental divide between Paris and the rest of the country, which is often referred to as "la Province" (and not "la Provence" which refers to the South-East of France).

So, Paris = Paris, not Paris = Province (not included: not Paris or province and effing far away = overseas territories and departments aka Tahiti, New Caledonia, Guadeloupe, etc.).

I for one, having spent a lot of time in the South of France know that people are more relaxed, open, able to take their time...and they're not all skinny, either!

There are so many things we could have discussed in this video, from cost of living to way of life, but the resounding message is clear - Paris is NOT France! Paris n'est pas la France!

What differences have you noticed between Paris and the rest of France? Let us know down below!

This video is a step-by-step guide to getting PACsed in France in 2018. The video explores the Pacs benefits, requirements and documents needed and takes you through the whole pacs process from booking your appointment with the Tribunal d'Instance to the ceremony itself.

DOCUMENTS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO
o A PACS contract written yourself: https://www.service-public.fr/particu...
o A PACS contract filled out: https://www.formulaires.modernisation...
o An attestation sur l’honneur (on your honor) of no family relation between partners: https://www.formulaires.modernisation...
o An attestation of the common address of the partners: https://www.formulaires.modernisation...
o A copy of the French person’s birth certificate, dated within 3 months or less, which they can get for free and online here: https://mdel.mon.service-public.fr/ac...
o A proof of non-PACS certificate from France dated within 3 months. This can be ordered online: https://mdel.mon.service-public.fr/ma...
o A certificate of non-inscription au repertoire civil, or basically a paper saying that the foreign partner has not had any run-ins with the law. The information of how to order it is here: https://lannuaire.service-public.fr/c...
o List of official translators in France: http://www.annuaire-traducteur-asserm...

UPDATE: PACs may take place in the Mairie rather than the Tribunal d'Instance depending on your region. Contact your local town hall here in order to double check (will always be faster than calling the prefecture!!): https://lannuaire.service-public.fr/

For those of you not in the know, the PACS, or pacte civil de solidarité, or civil solidarity pact, is essentially one way to formalize your domestic partnership with your significant other. Although not as serious as a marriage, it is a contractual commitment and comes with various benefits, including tax breaks and it’s also the first step to getting a relationship visa in France (de facto relationship visa France) if you are not from the EU.

So what DO French people think of Americans? What does it feel like to be an American living in Paris? Let's chat with Veronica, an American expat in Paris who was brave enough to move to France 3 years ago!

In today's video we discuss the differences between USA and France when it comes to culture, outlook and attitudes as how that translates as an American living in France. Three years ago, Veronica decided that moving to Paris as an American seemed like a great idea! But it also came with a particular expat status that makes expat life in France even more interesting.

I get a lot of questions about being an American expat in France, what do French people think of Americans, cultural differences France vs. USA and what it feels like to study abroad as an American in France. Unfortunately, not being American myself, I can't answer these questions directly, but I know people that can :)

If you have any other questions about French people, cultural differences, expat life in Paris or anything else, please let me know down below!
