You have to go to France ?
You just arrived in France ?
You are living in France ?
You are, you were...or you're still surprised about France and the French !
You are a tourist, an expatriate, a foreigner, or just interested in understanding France and the French ?
You sometimes feel lost in this strange but so romantic country thinking that the French are so DIFFERENT !
GOOD NEWS, YOU ARE ON THE GOOD SITE !
As a French, working cross cultures, I can imagine the questions, misunderstandings, disappointments or good surprise you can have with us.
I decided to read what the other cultures were saying about us...and it seems that The French are sometimes seen as arrogant, rude, proud, noisy, never satisfied ?...This is not what I think...This is what I have heard..of read !!! Oh my god !!! I thought...Are we really perceived like this ?
You can find below the best stereotype I have found on the net : The French
Are grousers.
Drink some wine.
Wear the beret.
Drive on the wrong side of the road.
Are arrogant persons even egocentric persons.
Are good speakers.
They look out for girls.
Don't speak english...and are not helpfull when people ask advice or help
...and once again...I had a dream : I could help you in understanding my culture ! YES WE CAN !
So I decided to create a website to offer you the (last?) opportunity to see the French differently....and to think about the following subject : cultures and differences ....with Humour...
BUT THIS SITE WILL LIVE WITH YOU : I would like to insert in my website your experiences, your ideas, and your reactions....and update it with your suggestions. So please, feel free to contact me by email !
