As a french i Can tell you that eating raw meat isn't problematic. I Never Heard of anyone ill because of it. Pregnant women aren't allowed to eat during pregnancy. It's like eating sushi but with beef.

To answer your question, no you don't need a passport to travel to other french regions as a french because it's classified as domestic travel. Schengen and Eu's freedom of movement does not apply to all of them though.

[kieran]

I just need to say that toxoplasma gondii is not that big of a deal as what he made it out to be. Not many people eat raw meat and you're more likely to be contaminated by your cat.
It's mandatory for pregnant women to test for its presence as it can be dangerous for the foetus, which is why a pregnant woman should not clean the litterbox of a cat. Other than that if you're contaminated, you're just likely to have the same symptoms as flu and then you gain immunity. The changes in behaviors in humans are so little so you wouldn't notice them.

For the radio, it's mostly to preserve French music culture some other European country would probably like to hear songs from there own country from time to time but of course we still hear a lot of foreign music everyday you don't need to worry about that, so in reality it's nothing patriotic we just cling to and don't want our culture disappearing under american and british cultures.

It's like if as an american you would only hear French or Spanish music but rarely music from your own country ^^'.

In regards to New Caledonia, they are still part of France as the referendum decided to stay with France

[tiwanniehinds]

French citizens don’t need a passport to travel to any of its overseas territories all they need is a national ID or Drivers license. Also there are many daily direct flights from mainland France to its overseas territories and departments.

Louisiane, the French's north American colony, wasn't the size of actual Louisiana : it was around a third of actual USA territory from north (Québec, Canada) to south .

"Louisiane" was a reference to our king Louis XIV, fun fact his reign was 1 year longer than Elizabeth II (the former british Queen) which is the longest reign known in the world

Sorry for my english

Snail is a very good food ....it's an elite meat in Nigeria before cooking you clean all the slime with lime then after cooking you fry ..yummy I swears...y'all should try it

Hello Dears ! It’s a great reaction.

You are right in your assumptions about the fact that the old French names prononciation in Louisiana (and mainly in New Orléans) are usually wrong… ;)

I remember the first time I heard “Prairie du chien” said by a local in a documentary about Louisiana . I was like : “whaaaatt ? What have we done wrong ?” ^ ^
I can confirm you the ending part of names like Boudreaux, Devereaux, etc… are pronounced like the lettre “o” whatever is the spelling. Mouchet (if I am not mistaken by your name spelling) is pronounced like moo-sh-ay but with a very short pronunciation of the “ay” without stressing the Y. If it was Mouchette, the TTE would be pronounced. Also the “right way” to say Métairie is may-tay-ree, or Ponchartrain is said (close to) poun-sharrr-train, without pronouncing the final N.

When it’s comes to tourists in France, I guess it’s depend on the place you decide to visit and stay. People outside of Paris area tend to say Parisian are rude or cold but it’s not true at all. Their lives are pretty much like in every big city in the world and their mood isn’t as good or bad as a New-Yorker and usually really change upon the weather, their struggles in their daily routine as everyone… but Parisian usually hold subway doors for others, help mothers with strollers to ascend stairs, etc…

if you want to look less touristy (to avoid being a target for burglar or pick-pockets) don’t wear caps or hoodies with American flags printed on it. French people tend to be less patriotic in their daily life. Besides the official buildings like town halls, colors are trooped only for national holidays like bastille day or special anniversary about WWI and WWII… the key is in 4 words :
Bonjour (hello), s’il vous plaît (please), merci, (thank you) and Au revoir (bye).
French people are overly polite and hate to be taken in a non initiated conversation without being “introduced” properly.

Outside of Paris, people are usually seen as in a better mood with foreigners but it’s not always true. Like everywhere in the world, the mood is related to the size of their town, the local climate and shape of their environment. Southerners tends to be more joyful and easy going (like Italian, Spanish or South Anericans). In colder areas, people are harder to crack.

I highly recommend you the American YouTubers channels : Oui in France,
Unintentionally Frenchified or others expats in France videos who are living here for years. They usually provide some good informations about their relationship with French locals and what they have learned to do or not to avoid absolute no-no as a newcomer in the country.

You're welcome in France, À bientôt.

Snail is a really good meat. We eat it a lot in Africa. Before cooking It's cleaned to the point where there's no more slime on it

[alienews]

for the snails i know it may seem weird.. But it's a legacy from the starving periods (as you know France is an old country). But yeah we still eat them (well not all of us, some "régions" are known for eating them a lot more than others.) and when well prepared, it tastes better than what u might expect ;)

[remy]

About the tourists, the minimum thing to do is to learn at least basic words of french like "bonjour", "s'il vous plait" ou "merci". It's not a lot and it can bring a smile on people's face.^^

[senestrandentremonde]

Demouchets can come from de french Auvergne region last name "de Mouchet" (there is a lot of Mouchet in Auvergne). An emouchet is a small falcon and this shortened word was used there as a nickname for short people and became a last name for some families (like a lot of our family name)
It's just one possibility and absolutely not a certainty.

[xschamarande]

french translated by google : I'm French and I like to see the faces of Americans when we talk about eating snails. You should know that they are raised in protected places where they are given herbs that make them drool to eliminate impurities. Then they are cooked and prepared with spicy sauces. It is a lean and ecological meat.
Concerning the horse, several years ago, there was an awareness campaign led by the actress Brigitte Bardot and the French are eating less and less horse meat
Concerning toxoplasmosis, I don't know where he got his information, but there are no more cases of infected people than in other countries and the behavior of the French is not the result of their food but of their education and the various wars that marked their country.
Regarding english words, the Academy has created french words for new technologies but english words are common and accepted.
The French don't hate everyone (just half!!), there are just codes of respect and politeness to apply to have a good stay.

Nice video!

Little disclaimer, aroune 19:30 the video mentions Jacques Brel, however Mr Brel was Belgian and not French. :)

Keep on reacting! 😊

[maxxie]

I honestly love your attitude and joy guys, i may have spoken a bit bluntly about food and stuff, but you should really come and visit. Don’t do just paris though…

[natgus]

French are not the only ones to eat snails. I have eaten snails in Italy (lumache), in Spain (caracoles) and I know that they are also eaten in Portugal.

[nesquik]

I don't think conserving the french culture and imposing french programs or music is patriotism. It has nothing to do with pride.
