Demystifying the French: A Bicultural Conversation
I'm a born & bred NYer. I LOVE hearing of how moins cher France is que New York. Looking forward to moving there in a few years when I retire.🤗🇨🇵
If you initially come on a visitor visitor but later wish to work in France, can you change it in France to a work visa?
Inheritance is very complicated and you cannot choose who gets it. Get legal advice before buying on how t o title a property. It is not taxes, it is that you cannot choose who gets the property. You're right. You cannot line your coffin with dollars to make you happier today. I was going to buy a Chateau. Chamged my mind. Am going to buy a stone house in a village and travel around Europe. Then, get a sailboat in the Bahamas for the winters. Will spend most of my money before i die.
This stuff is cheap because of the tax structure. Under Macron the Government percentage of GDP went from about 52% to 58%.
A shipping container from North America to Portugal is $8000. Don’t know about France. I’m assuming it would be the same.
I thought that getting a residence visa takes about two years. True?
Would you happen to know how long it takes for an American to obtain French citizenship? And what type of residence visa would put me on track to apply for citizenship? Thank you!
The worst movie i’ve seen! First time i see a movie in Spanish with subtitles in Spanish! I’m mexican by the way! The songs and singers are terrible! Is a cartoon of Mexico! 😒
Tome vergonha kkkkk
Very good point raised by the gentleman at 17:03 and onward. Although I'm not trans or mexican, I am latino and queer so I was able to see a lot of weak points when it comes to the their portrait of latinos and trans people. And we are in a very dangerous time to be doing these kinds of mistakes when conservatives in the USA are going in a crusade against trans people and immigrants.
Such an interesting film! So many unexpected turns. Bravo!
that movie is a disgrace for Mexico and filmmaking, Jaques Audiard here did the worst directing in history, it seems so ridiculous that the three protoganist have three diferent spanish and none of them in a mexican accent, really dissapoint on human race
Hi Adrian, I want to move forward with a consult but have one question about France’s inheritance laws as pertaining to my situation. I would need to get a definitive answer from the right professional, is it possible to direct me to a very qualified source? This is a vital issue before I can proceed. Thank you very much
Always enjoy your RUclips channel. This video is outstanding and resonates with me. I would appreciate the opportunity to schedule an appointment with Ms. Leeds for her company's services. Please confirm Ms. leeds contact information. Thank you kindly.
thank u so much for the presentation! very thorough and easy to understand
Visiting Toulouse in mid July! Can't wait! Mid 50's, retiring from over 30 years in education. We prefer walking and biking and bus/train for transportation and making meals at home- and really good coffee! :) Love your videos!
An excellent presentation. Thank you, Madame Martin. You are charming.
Thank you! Off subject but need advice or a resource on French medical insurance coverage and cost. Am on the verge of obtaining EU citizenship (via German heritage) and France is at top of list for permanent relocation from the US. Currently a single US citizen (naturalized) on social security with a very small pension and modest savings. Thanks
A "dictée" is to memorize how to write correct grammar and vocabulary since french is full of tricks and exceptions. It has nothing to do with developing individual opinion, which is something highly valued in the french school system, by all kind of exercices other than dictées.
Great overview of the cultural divide. Thanks! As a corollary I’d add that in France family is more important than peer group for close relationships. To the questioner who is a French citizen returning to France, there is a well-detailed process for repatriation, complete with how to get a Carte Vitale and how to import your possessions duty-free. Contact your nearest French consulate.
"everything that is not allowed is forbiden" totally wrong , you can't be guilty of something not prohibited by law in France
The French are polite in their daily interactions. They expect politeness and it opens doors - when in doubt, be polite. Talk quietly in public and that goes for all of Europe. In London growing up as a kid, you could always hear the obnoxious Americans calling attention to themselves. It was grating. I’m American. I worked in Brussels and Paris in 2004 and many of my French co workers worked until 7 pm or later every weeknight. They came in later some mornings tho.
Loved this posting! Merci beaucoup! ❤
I disagree with your statement that the worst crime in France is pickpocketing. What about the terrorist attacks at the concert venue (Bataclan), the supermarket incident (Jan 2015) where there were people trapped inside, occasional riots in the suburbs with cars set on fire? It isn't as bad as the US, that I agree, but to infer that there is no violence is not painting a true picture.
pickpocketing is no even an issue (maybe just for tourists in paris) lol streets violence is much more the reality knifes are the gun equivalent in france
Yes, and everything is not black and white. Blanket statements.. I’ve been to France where French people have warned us not to be in certain parts of the city after dark.
Well yeah, it was 10 years ago. She didn't say there is no violence or crime. But you have more chance to be pickpocketed or scammed than being a terrorist victim. A riot in the suburbs is not something dangerous, plus it's in the suburbs, where you probably will not live anyway.
@@FanNy-ku6wt the daily problem is not necessarily terrorist attacks but physical attacks as well as knife attacks
Bonjour ! MARVELOUS! ADRIAN is really a "marvel" ♥
That was a great webinar. Very informative.
Thank you for this video. I am planning to retire to Nice in 2026. I have however watched RUclips videos that warn women about certain arrondissements in Paris that are not very safe when traveling alone. As an educator I am very pleased to hear about the French respect for education 🩷
Ditto
Really loved this posting Adrian. I think your daughter was educated by the best of both worlds. Writing to dictation is an important skill as is free writing. Both should be taught. It’s great to hear so many people interested in France. 🇫🇷 may she continue to be La Belle!
Has the US system changed so much? When I was in school English was the equivalent of Dicte. Lol debrouiller indeed :) I can see I will fit in well. I hate it when people shout in a restaurant. I love the right to disconnect. Set those expectations now :) Adrian, you hang the items in the sun to dry them ;-D
Me too re talking quiet in restaurants and loving to disconnect. My mother was English so maybe that’s affected my manners.
Hello Dear, Fédération des Alliances Françaises USA, I hope you are well. I visited your RUclips Channel. Your content is Excellent. But your Channel is not growing, Because your Content title and Description are not SEO-friendly and do not have Enough Rank tags.This is why there is no Content Coming to the top of RUclips. As a result, your video SEO Score is very low. According to VidiQ, (your channel's video's SEO score is 50.4/ out of 100, which should be 80+). If you want, I can make it 80+ , which will help your channel grow faster. If you SEO your videos Properly then the Channel Progress will be very Fast & Subscribers and Views will Increase. If you want I can solve problems and help you rank your videos Better. If you are Interested Please Let me know. Regards, MARUF (RUclips Video SEO Expert).
This was so valuable, Adrian! Truly appreciate this breakdown. And also discovered the likely reason why I have always felt such a disconnect as a westcoaster living in the U.S. The west had a foundation of Spanish colonialism before the English traditions arrived by way of westward expansion. Major clash of ideals.
Loved hearing that the French respect education. America needs much more education these days. And although I am an American, I feel many Americans think they’re better than people from other countries. It’s embarrassing. I think I’ll fit in really well in France.🇫🇷 Thanks for this great presentation.
Thank you Adrian for sharing your experience, in listening the last year to Adrian’s presentations I have learned so much. I have just received my visa and will be shortly engaging her groups services to obtain a long term rental. I initially met with Patti from her team so knowledgeable. Joyeux Noel 🎄
Interesting cultural differences. Thanks!
I live in Mexico just over the border from the US. Many would say this isn't the real Mexico; whatever that is but I can tell you it is another world. So when you titled you piece, "Crossing the Cultural Divide" it motivated me to say how much I understand what that means. I wish you well and thank you for sharing your experiences as more and more Americans will realize what we took for granted may be an answer to the political madness we find.
Thank you so much for this!! She is amazing.
Believe me, I’m so sick of the corrupt systems & prices in the US, I am making serious plans to move out of this country
The videos on your RUclips channel are amazing. We can learn a lot from watching your videos. We gain knowledge about many things. However, the videos that you have uploaded to RUclips are not getting views. The reason for this is that your videos are not SEO. SEO is the main point of the RUclips algorithm. Whenever you SEO your videos, the RUclips algorithm will take your videos in front of people and you will get views. Thank you
Ja dore this video! Very generous Adrian! Thank you
Are Texas residents included? Will there be any dates in 2026??
Was excited until you said California residents excluded, why?
Great questions for the interview.
Muchas felicidades!!!
How do single seniors find perhaps a roommate to share housing costs in France?
Bonjour Adrian - Je m'appelle Joan. You and I are very close in age (28 May 52) but I've been dreaming of living in France for decades. Post US election 🤦♀, once I retire in the spring I will definitely be making plans to finally move to the country of my dreams. I've calculated my Medicare premium in the US at $500/month! Universal Healthcare @ around $170/month sounds wonderful 👩⚕Being a city girl and a minimalist I prefer renting and would love a small charming studio apartment somewhere in Paris🗼(preferably US expat friendly neighborhood). I've watch videos on Nice and it's quite nice but I've been obsessed with Paris forever. I will definitely utilize your services once I'm ready to make the move. Merci beaucoup for this informative video 🙋♀
35:05 Wow. Renting in France is more affordable than I thought.

Where is the resource guide that you mentioned? I don't see any links??
Bonjour @maisiepoot5574. Here is a link to the resource guide: fedafusa.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/Documents/EXPpJxWjObVEgdIp36XWuhkBx5SF9fW_jZTGymps_uXGWg?e=riI3fo
Ce qui serait utile, ce serait de faire une liste des regions et petites communes de France sans immigration, c'est a dire sans racaille violente. Les villes, on le sait, c'est fini.
This video is 3 years old. France has never been a good country for investments. but in 2024, it is worse: extremely high taxes on EVERYTHING: your dog. your car, your motorcycle, your TV, your home, second residence, and many other things. You pays between 22 and 33% of taxes, la TVA, on everything you purchase. You cannot purchase more than $1000 euros of gold per month as a protection investment. The worse is the crime level. France has become increasingly violent and unsafe, due to massive immigration from African countries, and also Mid-Eastern. Don't be gullible. 99% of YT videos about France are selling a dream, not the reality. Its' all lies and deception. I am a French expat and I wish I could return to my country for retirement. Du to massive immigration and the extreme insecurity that is now plaguing my country, I will not return
