    0:30 yep, i recommend going to " belle-ile " or the " vendée " or " Bretagne "
    Belle ile : Beautiful seas, bunnies that are not in a cage, so tasty pizza, cute Animals that live In the nature and that are free
    Vendée : its just nostalgia for me, i just love it so. And also these stands where you can buy beautiful stuff and dresses
    Bretagne : Nostalgia too and tasty pancake ( its where they make it the best in france )

    If you meet a French man and don't know his name, it's fine to refer to him as Monsieur Aubergine!

    • @08taw94
      @08taw94 7 месяцев назад

      Why "Aubergine" ? It's means "Mister Eggplant", what that's ?

    Lyon is farther east than placed at the 2:54 mark.

      Yeah and same goes for Strasbourg actually 😁

    • @gigiatlas2364
      @gigiatlas2364 5 месяцев назад

      You're too kind, Lyon is completely off! What a cliche...

    Enjoy your videos…. Very helpful, but, please, can you slow down when you speak…I can’t seem to keep up with your commentary.

  • @ruh-roh9942
    @ruh-roh9942 Год назад +4

    Your videos have great tips but please slow down. I like to take short notes for a future European trip to look up at a later time but it’s hard to keep up when you speak so fast.
    Pretty please?

      .75 speed works fine, and doesn't distort her voice

    • @daryldeal
      @daryldeal 5 месяцев назад +1

      You can pause and go back. 🤷‍♂️
