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 realtime 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!
