1. You’re stunning. 2. I don’t live there, but I’ve been there twice on extended trips. I was treated very well and everyone I spoke to was very kind. A lady in Galeries Lafayette gave me the best compliment. I was checking out at the counter and she started speaking to me in French. I asked, in French, if she spoke English. She giggled and switched to English, and said that she thought I was French because I didn’t dress like a tourist. She said the tourists don’t dress as well as French ladies, and she liked my coat. I have never felt so chic🤣

I don't know where you encountered businesses closing between 12&14:00, but most of them are open during lunchtime in Paris. They are closed only sometimes in much smaller towns outside of Paris

I lived in Versailles and worked in Paris for 9 years the best combi ever, then move to Bretagne and wow life is so much better la vie est belle!

Great video, answered a lot of questions I had in my mind. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for the video!! Moving to France in Feb. Good to hear your perspective 😊

I’ve spent time in Paris. Right away, in the airport, a gentleman in a suit put his entire leg in front of me to prevent me from walking by. He was talking to other men in suits - clearly they all worked at the airport in some capacity. He never looked at me.. he just kept talking to the other men in suits, arms folded while he put his leg in front of my suitcases as I tried to walk past. Instead of stopping his conversation for 10 seconds and turning to me and telling me that this direction is no longer accessible or I must go around to exit the airport - he felt it was best to keep talking while not even looking at me and just put his leg in front of me each time I tried to go around him. He literally would put his leg even further and further out in front of me as I tried to go around him…never looked at me once. A taxi driver had to tap me on the shoulder and tell me that “sorry ma’am, that way is now closed”…Otherwise I would’ve never known. It’s this type of thing that has me mind blown about basic decency. On top of that you will get completely blown off and deliberately told the wrong directions by some less than friendly Parisians. I almost missed my flight back to LA, even though I arrived to the airport two hours early. Airport workers were sending me back and forth across this busy street, 4 times with 70 pounds of luggage to and from the wrong place! I broke down in tears at Charles de Gaulle…. no joke. My google translate was totally not working in France. Verizon did not have my back out there…Dietary restrictions? Too bad! Oh sorry… since we don’t understand you and you don’t speak French…here’s a huge 5 inch tower of raw salmon for your dining pleasure! I pulled a lighter out of my purse and put it next to my plate and they waiter told me “we’re closed”.. in English. May I mention that there is dog poo all over the streets…The Louvre was amazing ❤️the architecture was amazing ❤️.. ambiance was very good 👍 I had a high rise on the 16th floor in front of the Iron Lady ✅❤️it was spectacular. Monoprix(the French Target) was cool.. excellent French pj’s and cosmetics. The manager was super rude to me.. didn’t want to show me where to find almond milk.. he basically told me to F off! Next stop Almafi coast and London. Excited about London as I believe and English speaking country may be a “softer landing” for me. I heard Amalfi coast even though Italian speaking is much more laid-back than parts of France. I will try Paris again as the shopping is 10 out of 10 💫 and in all honesty, if I would have know a bit of French, my experience would have been better.

Thank you this was very helpful

Asante sana kwa kushare nasi experiance yako toka Tanzania mpaka Paris. ❤❤❤❤❤🇸🇪🇸🇪🇹🇿🇹🇿🙏

The French Administration will bring out a you that there has never been seen 😂

You should move to the United States, we would love to have you here. I visited only three times Paris and stayed in each time about 1 week, I loved visiting Paris but that’s just it, I wouldn’t come to live there mainly due to the crowdedness and small living spaces in tiny apartments, plus I simply don’t enjoy taking metros anymore around a lot of people.

I want to come this year I speak french well...

She so sweet and kind

I’m looking to move to Paris within the next 6 months but I’m stuck in how to get started.

Honestly I’ve never had a strong urge visit or live in Paris but I’ve always wanted to live in the French countryside or French seaside smaller cities/towns. Any suggestions based upon hospitality and affordability?

Can you name some nice places to live in the outskirts of Paris, and what's the average rent in those places?

Thank you for this video. Please recommend where a person can live outside Paris while still working in Paris?

I'm getting ready to move in about 2 months and believe it or not, my biggest anxiety is making new friends as an adult if you are not a student. Anyone with ideas on this 🙈 How do you approach meeting people excluding on dating apps

Sasa twambie kitu cha kutumia usoni kutoa rynkors? Ukiwa tayari niambie. 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇹🇿🇹🇿🙏

Please Dear LORD GOD protect your daughter and may you open doors for her. In Jesus mighty name amen.

Hello beautiful where did you get your hair from 😊

Hello. Can someone change visit visa to study visa/language.

I don't understand your surprise for having to learn and speak the local language in a non English speaking country in order to being able to live and work there ^^ Even in Sweden, where English is much more spoken by locals in France, they require you to speak Swedish at work. How would you react if a French would expect french being spoken in the UK or USA?? 🤷

As a black person you have most likely felt like home in Paris

What part of the bush in Africa are you from ?

I hear Paris dirty AF
