9 things I can do LIVING IN FRANCE but not in the US

I moved to France to become fluent in French and to live in a place where I feel like my authentic self, and thankfully I’m experiencing this. 😁 And, as a result of my move, there are other things I get to do that I hadn’t anticipated. In this video, I share nine things that I can do in France that I couldn’t do in the USA. Check it out!

What do you hope to experience when you are abroad (either living there or traveling)?

[Alex-mpzb]

Patricia, it's a joy and an honor to have you among us!

[cherylpumphrey]

I admire your tenacity, bravery, and elegance…

[michelesauret]

Je vous trouve de plus en plus jolie et épanouie. La France vous réussit, votre instinct avait vu juste. Vous semblez de plus en plus en accord avec votre moi profond, ce que justement vous cherchiez. Vos prochains voyages vont vous apporter d'autres connaissances qui vont encore vous enrichir. Vous avez remplacé avoir par être, bravo Patricia et continuez sur le chemin du bonheur ❤️

As a French I can say you are definitely putting a lot of effort integrating yourself, good work :)

I'm moving to Lapradelle in the Aude department in March. I love the language and the culture and have been visiting for decades. I finally realized how meager my life is here in South Florida where you can be killed any moment when walking or biking. The little stores are all gone for corporate horrors and Starbucks. I was so sad every time I came back here. I thought about it and decided to buy a little village house with a connecting bus that will link to the TGV in 45 minutes. I can't wait.

I love this for you!! ❤ Also, I love how you take your time talking to your youtube audience. Like it's a conversation. Instead of a rushed video with a rushed voiceover like 99% of most youtube or social media content. 😊 Very refreshing.

Glad you notice I left the USA 22 years ago last time visit was 2015 but never back to live again Vive la France !!!

You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing this content. I’m in France now and it always feels like home to me. I hope to make it a second residence and it’s nice to hear you speak so highly of it. 🇫🇷

You can also expect a longer healthier life living in France - longevity is significantly better than the US (and many other places) but that probably doesn’t surprise you.

Patricia! Im also a black woman from Richmond, VA and I found your video thinking about options for places to study and work after undergrad. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, you paint a gorgeous picture

[reginapolo]

I spent three days in Narbonne and three days in Menton and I felt in love with France. Yes the people is very nice

[nvrlkbk]

Hi Patricia! I stumbled on your video today. I am also an American living in France (since 2011). I am glad you can still list positive things after being here for five years 😂😂. Seriously, your lovely spirit shines through o this video and I wish you many more good experiences here.

I have been to Collioure with my family and it is lovely.

All the best.

Jeff

Wow! Thanks Patricia for making this super wonderful video. This is the first time I’ve ever heard about
The France channel . Can’t wait to watch this channel.

Bonjour, je suis tombée sur votre vidéo par hasard et j'ai eu le plaisir de reconnaître Céret ❤️.
Vous faites une très belle description de nôtre région, merci de la faire découvrir 🥰

[emjizone]

2:33 Yes, go figure: in towns where every store specializes in one category of product, you can be *served by people who have devoted their lives to studying and training on the subject*, and *who can't make any serious mistakes on the risk of losing their entire business*, as opposed to big companies able to survive their own flaws by diversification.

[XekoMML]

I'm learning English with you!!! Your pronunciation is perfect. 😊 Thanks

[couvertgerard]

Parfois en tant que français on peut être triste ou même désespéré de voir que trop de français n'aiment plus assez la France, des personnes comme vous nous redonnent confiance dans notre pays, et, le plus important : le sourire !
Bravo pour cette vidéo et pour votre ouverture d'esprit. Vivant le quart de l'année en Italie j'y retrouve ces plaisirs dont vous parle, entre autre celui d'entrer dans un magasin juste pour échanger avec le vendeur dans une langue qui n'est pas la mienne.

This Philly Girl is excited for you, Jersey Girl. Bon chance avec español! I was stationed in Spain for 2 years and will move to Naples for my last assignment in a few months. Looking forward to retiring in Portugal.
