Here's the funny article I was talking about in the video: https://www.ouiinfrance.com/why-are-t...

When it comes to French culture shocks, we're pretty aware of the classics - the French Administration, the smoking... but after having lived in France as an Expat for 5 years now, these things are a pretty standard part of life now! What I hope to do with my French Culture Shock series in dive into the details so you can fully imagine expat life in France.

Are you an expat in France? Do you agree/disagree? Do you have any further questions on expat life in Paris or being an expat in France more generally? Let me know down below and I will get back to you!

*The definition of a culture shock is the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes.*

If you want even more of an insight into life in France or the perception of French people from an outsider's perspective, let me know down below! I've got SO MUCH more content on French culture and lesser known French stereotypes and I'd be happy to bring another video your way with even more random culture shocks that make me realise that life in France can be new and unfamiliar, but oh so exciting!

CULTURE SHOCK! Life as an "expatrie en France" or more specifically an expat in Paris! This is yet another episode in my French culture shock series so that you can understand more about what life is really like in France from my perspective.

Something I love about living abroad is how fascinating I find it all (yes, still!). Even after 5 years here, I feel like I’m still in a mode of observation, noticing small differences in mindset and behaviour. It’s probably the Psychology major in me!

I’ve had a lot of people say that I should be “over it” by now and stop doing videos on Culture Shocks but, quite honestly, I hope it never stops. I will never be 100% French and that’s part of the magic!

Just some of the things I cover in today’s culture shocks video include:

- The “internet banking” in France (if you can even call it that without real-time transactions?!)
- The mystery of the missing top sheet
- The FAKE NEWS scaffolding
- The fear of microwaves and deodorant
- The painful wait for the bill
- Your colleagues telling you have “small eyes “ hahah

If you have any questions about life in Paris as an expat or what it is like living in France more generally, please ask me in the comments! Bisou bisou

This video explores more silly/random French culture shocks or remarkable features about life in France. And no, it's not the clichés about French people smoking and dog poo in the street - it's the lesser known cultural differences. I have been living in France for 5 years now and they just keep coming!

We hear a lot about French stereotypes and clichés about French People...but what is life really like in France? This isn't your typical French stereotypes list - here we explore French culture shock, expat life in France, what it's like to move to France and what is life really like in France (as seen by an Expat in France, otherwise known as an expatrié).

Think of my channel as a behind the scenes guide to France. Real life in Paris as an expat and then a keen explorer of the beautiful French countryside. If you want even more of an insight into life in France or the perception of French people from an outsider's perspective, let me know down below and I'd be happy to bring another video your way with even more random culture shocks that make me realise that life in France is new and unfamiliar, but oh so exciting!
