Today I sit down with Oliver Gee from The Earful Tower, who has just completed a 2-month tour of France on his little red scooter with his lovely new bride. We discuss his favourite sights and the main differences between the Parisians and, well, French people.

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!
