What you say is true. I dressed my daughter for her class trip to France. She needed to pack light, so she needed a few well coordinated pieces. She was a total opposite from her classmates, no makeup, black clothing, uncomplicated hair and ballet shoes. She also rocks a fedora. She was mistaken for a French woman many times.

All your advice was spot on. I’ll never forget traveling with a group of Americans, me too, and one woman complained about the food everywhere we went even telling the waiters “We don’t cook it like that in the US.” After about three days of this I pulled her aside and told her that if she wanted the food like at home then go home. She never said another word. As for dress, I always research the country to find out how to dress and what colors to wear. I try my best to blend in.

I was in Germany this past October and really struggled with the language barrier (I’m American). I got to the point where I was afraid to speak because I didn’t want to be a target. I tried to learn some German before I went but I didn’t learn enough to be functional. My advice would be to focus on directional terms, numbers, food names (especially if you’re vegetarian or have other dietary restrictions), and words that are very common in everyday language. I learned words like entrance, exit, street, stairs, escalator, elevator, etc. all in my first day because I had to get where I needed to go. I would have been much more relaxed if I had learned more before my trip.

Excellent travel advice, not only for Paris, but anywhere in Europe! I try to dress to blend in and not stand out, and totally agree that it shows respect for another culture to know some polite phrases and words! The best compliment I can get while travelling is if someone asks me for directions! Success, mistaken for a local! And my favourite souvenirs while travelling are scarves and jewelry- they don’t take up much space and are a lovely reminder of the trip. Thanks so much!

I agree Years ago my sister in law wanted to renew her wedding vows in Rome. I had traveled to Italy several b times before this, and was well aware of the cultural expectations. Plus I took 4 years of Italian in high school I advised her to make sure to be appropriately covered up, specifically her arm and chest We’ll, she wore a sleeveless v neck, cleavage showing dress to the church bi could tell from the priest’s face that he was none too pleased. I tried to tell her to save the cleavage for my brother in law, but she didn’t listen. Dince there were others in tge church I think the priest kinda gave them the hurry up abbreviated version of a vow renewal. She felt usher, snd slighted, snd tbh she was because she wasn’t dressed properly I wore a bling sleeved wrap dress with a hemline below my knees. She actually told me I looked silly dressed like that, because it was warm outside

We were wearing smart casual clothes and trench coats both times. Also we learnt some French before we went there and in the two weeks we were in Paris only once did we have one grumpy waiter but he was rushed off his feet so it was understandable. We used the metro regularly and just like every big citykeep an eye on your bag.

Unfortunately unlike you I am a complete slob, but I guess a French-looking slob =). It gets to the point that when I see Japanese people or Germans making any sort of eye contact I run away! The punchline is that I have the worst sense of direction ever - I can get lost in my home city.

I realize that Americans seem to be more casual than our European friends, especially when it comes to athletic wear and logos, so we must stick out like the proverbial "sore thumbs" to scammers and pickpockets. As far as backpacks are concerned, I could never understand why people use them for anything except hiking in the woods. So easy to steal out of! I will remember these tips, plus learn a little conversational French, whenever I'm lucky enough to visit France!

I'm into photography and one of the things that always makes me wonder about these kind of tips is how do local photographers carry their cameras :). I love Paris and have been several times. Having a crossbody bag in front of you is key, i always wore it like that and i used subway and walked lots. There was only once that people did try to scam me asking to sign a petition. they literally shove that in your hands but my bag was crossbody in front of me and i refused firmly, plus a couple of very helpful gendarmes came to my aid. I am not an American and my style is quite European so usually i manage to blend in, but being vigilant is very important to enjoy your stay. Thanks for the video.

Oh my goodness! What a great video. As an American, I can not believe how loud my countrymen (and women) are!. Too loud in public spaces, yelling at one another across the boulevards, shrieking with laughter, it never ends! One piece of advice I would like to add to your wonderful video is; Watch your alcohol intake. I don’t think I have EVER seen a Parisian sloppy at a restaurant or bar. When Americans vacation we tend to forget that we are ambassadors for our country and more often than not, allow over imbibing to become the order of the day.

Thanks for another great video Frederique. My husband and I are leaving on Wednesday for a month on the Italian/French Riviera and a month in the UK so I would have loved your video on what to take to Europe. We are going with carryon luggage only, which as you know is only 7kg from Australia- which is like nothing. Anyway, I am taking navy linen pants, white linen pants, black leggings (for exercise, not to wear in public!), 5 or 6 tops, a light denim jacket, 1 dress, a tankini, a hat, 1 pair of sandals and not much else. I’m already at my limit and haven’t ruled out wearing all my clothes onto the plane. I think going through security dressed as the Michelin Man definitely screams “tourist”!

Oh Frédérique😃 You made me laugh a lot 🤣 I am Northern European who lives in Australia.. 2 years I spent with Italian in Barcelona and Rome and learnt from him how to detect tourists from all over the world. It was funny but also useful. Italians are extremely fashionable but a bit too flashy for me. 😃 I prefer French way.. When I lived in Rome and my daughter attended Italian school near Vatican, we used to go after her lessons to Cafés for snack (Italian school lunches are just amazing). So I spoke Italian (not very good but ok) and in one café poor waiter 🤣 tried very hard to speak with me in French. I didn't understand French back then 😅 I told him that I am not French (even though I look like). So I spoke Italian he speaks back in French and my daughter laughs. About tips and tricks you are absolutely right. Last time I was in Paris while having long waiting hours to go back to Australia via Singapore. I went to city centre to enjoy. Again fun fun 😄 I was wearing silk dress, ballerinas and linen summer coat - all in beige/camel tones.. So tourists stopped me and in basic French asked for directions.. I felt very bad that my French is so extremely limited 🤣 Only real French man understood that I am not French and we had small chat in English and coffee and goodbye kiss 😘 Love Paris 💖 In 6 hours I got everything, including Opera Garnier visit

@pollysshore2539 Жыл бұрын

This would depend on where you stayed in 2002. I graduated high school in the early 90s and never saw students in pajamas. In the 2010s I started seeing Uni and then high school students in pajamas everywhere. I wore a lot of wild stuff to school, and I love what I call “pajama clothes”. They are not pajamas, and do not do look like pajamas at all (think a good quality linen outfit), but are comfortable enough to feel like them. That said… my mother would have killed me if I tried to leave the house in actual pajamas. I haven’t been to church in decades, but I would have been in trouble if I tried to wear sweat pants. Almost everyone wore their best. Even farmers with little money who only had a few pieces of clothes. They had their work overalls and their Sunday/go to meeting overalls. This was typically the only thing you saw outside of the Sunday best category. I work 12 hour swing shifts at 911 and have definitely fallen into a rut with athletic wear on nights and weekends when working here and there over the last 20 years. I still love to dress up, though. I miss the days before the mundane polo shirt dress code on my weekday shifts. I used to wear dresses, skirts, etc. Some kept literally rolling out of the bed and into the office on the weekdays. They implemented a casual weekday dress code to combat it.

This came just in time, as I am planning to go on a Danube River cruise going to Budapest, Vienna, and several other towns, and then Oberammergau for the Passion Play. My athletic clothes that I am packing are strictly for the fitness area on the ship-there is no way I will be wearing a skimpy tank top and yoga pants on the streets of Vienna, for example! No flip-flops for me either! The only heels I will pack are my 2.5-inch convertible strappy sandals to wear only in the evenings. My wardrobe is going to be dominated my skirts and dresses (and a pair of stylish jeans for possible cool weather and on the plane-I hate baggy pants and shorts). Can’t wait, as it will be my first trip since the pandemic started. 🇩🇪🇦🇹🇭🇺❤️ I have been learning Italian for fun (sadly not visiting Italy this year), so good to know how to pronounce “carne” 🥩 and “cane” 🐶, so I need to work on my Italian r’s, especially in “carne.” 😂

Thanks for this info. I love the story of “carne”. When I was a kid my brother and I couldn’t pronounce Spanish too well. Our grandmother’s name was Carlotta. But in Spanish we couldn’t say it. In translation I would call her “big face” and my brother would say “big tail”. Everyone would laugh but we never knew why. 😂

My family and I are headed to Italy and France in 2 weeks for my 50th birthday. Thank you for the advice! Luckily my husbands first language is French, so that may help us a bit. Also loved your french pharmacy video, which is how I found your channel. Merci!

When I went to Paris and I’ve only been there twice. I’ve been in France only three times. I wore a lot of black and gray with some sort of blazer. Even if it was black jeans. A pair of well fitting jeans and a turtle neck with a blazer can take you far, pair that with a nice crossbody bag and ballet flats and you are ready to site see, or stop for a bite to eat. Black bottoms seems to really be most versatile. I think I took a pair of black ponte knit leggings, a pair of black jeans, a pair of black slacks, and pair of black ponte knit straight leg pants. those and different tops and scarfs a nice blazer or overcoat if it’s cold and it served me well. Love these types of videos Frédérique.

I've been to Scotland, London and Paris in the near distant past ( did I say that right?) and I watched many videos on how to travel safely abroad, etc. I loved your take on it, so much more detail no one else talks about and from a Beautiful French woman such as yourself. the style tips where so helpful, I will be traveling there again probably soon. (would like to add Italy if possible!)

Hi Frédérique, just to let your viewers know that Ireland and the UK are part of Europe (Dublin has been European capital of culture in the past) and casual sports attire and "American style” clothing are popular here among us natives too. I’m sitting here in a hoodie and jeans trying to feel inspired by you!!

It’s inevitable. We’re country cousins! My ancestry is mostly Scottish, Irish, Welsh, English, Finnish (that was a family DNA surprise), French (by way of Scotland), German, Russian (by way of the U.K) and Native American. I’ve always wanted to visit the counties my ancestors came from (along with others) but have not done it yet. One thing that I do know is 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 + all of🇮🇪 tend to adopt a good amount of each other’s trends. It’s not always for the best (especially in relation to misguided policies and over the top cultural trends that do not translate well), but it’s not always for the worst either.

Excellent points Frédérique, thank you so much! And I would add, many religious sites require not just covering the shoulders but up to the elbow to be clothed for women. I once fell foul of a Vatican security guard because my mid-upper-arm sleeve was not long enough and so needed to purchase a scarf to be appropriately dressed. Love your channel and learning with you! :)

Dress modestly in churches or synagogues, can't agree more with your comment. I just got back from a trip to Prague and was appaled by tourists going to the synagogues half naked. And as for the men: in a synagogue you cover your head but in churches you take your hat off before entering, this includes baseball caps.

5:00 Omg that totally happened to me when I visited Paris! Got pretty much all my money stolen while I was distracted by a kid and a very well spoken woman asking for donations for charity, they looked quite legit in their approach and demeanor. I wasn't too touristy in my looks but i was like, alone and literally taking pictures of everything and asking people for directions so i was just naive and the perfect target. Finding the police station was super difficult and took most of my day wandering the streets alone with no money other than my train card, but even to this day I still wish I could return to enjoy the moments i was robbed with that money. Maybe one day :)

This video is so funny! I lived in Paris for almost a year. I never got roped or scammed. I used métro and bus everyday. I put my jeans and sneakers. I visited museums and churches. Before I leave my apartment, I checked Google map which métro I have to use, which station I need to get in or get off. I did wear high heels once. It was horrible lol
