[OuiInFrance]

Bonjour, tout le monde! Trying out a different format in this short video. ;-) Hope you enjoy my observations all about 23 little things that are different about life in France. ;-)

[brize]

Me, a French guy who watches the video to determine by inversion what is different in the US

[lanzji]

Nobody in France plays Soccer, but there's a lot of people who play football ;-)

[patrickgalland]

Bonjour, I'm French I'd like to add a little thing about the French President. He can't and is forbidden to speak of God publicly cause of the law of 1905 which decided the separation of the State and the Church. Take care everyone 😁

[MrAdBounty]

"healthcare is a right", do you seriously call it a little thing? It's one of my favorite things in France and one of the things that scares me the most in the USA

[Ante-Anima]

As a french dude, I can confirm all of this.
I'm even surprised some of them seem "exotic" from american's point of view !

[flamme]

Please, I'm french but I don't think you have to be french to know that the french flag at 0:12 is upside down 😂

[mgparis]

If you lose your job, you will still have healthcare = I am French, and in my opinion that's the best thing!

[andrewrobinson]

Free bread at restaurants. I think that's pretty unique.

[jademangin]

One summer, I had an American girl who stayed for a couple of weeks where I live in South of France. I had a really tricky time to explain to shut the "volets" to avoid the heat during the day.

[Yoshikage-Bowie]

Pro tip : if you ever come to France, don't order a baguette. Order a "tradition baguette" that is like 10 ~ 20 cents more expensive but way more delicious.

[remitel]

J’aime bien ces vidéos où on se rend compte que c’est majoritairement des français qui regardent (d’où mon commentaire dans la langue de Molière)

[YanikCrepeau]

Mon dernier voyage en France date d'il y a longtemps. Il y a fort longtemps, je traversais l'Atlantique à chaque année quand ce n'était pas deux ou trois fois. Je garde de ce pays d'excellents souvenirs, toujours amusé par ce qui nous rapproche et ce qui nous différencie. Nous partageons la même langue, certes, mais les mœurs de part et d'autres sont forts différentes. Souvent, la France me manque.

[TheTesterOfGame]

I'm french, I came here just to know what's different in YOUR country 😂

[carm]

Many apply to other European countries as well...

[itsydispy]

When you said you could find great wine for less than 10€ and showed a picture of a 2€ bottle I instantly thought « that’s the cooking whine » 😂

[adamgogo]

Even if it is cheaper than in the US, veterinary and train are seen very expensive in France (especially train compared to some other european countries, but it is because these are often modernised)

[magolord]

"Do you think you know everything about life in France?"
Me, a french dude: Maybe?
Tbh, the funny thing is that I discover that some things aren't the same in the US lmao x)

[superchiant.]

Fun fact 99% of French never climb the Eiffel tower

[thomasbal]

I’m French and I moved out in Canada-Montreal 2 years ago, and I miss my country especially for the foods. The foods are so much better in France..
