Weird lines, paying in French, when you ARE supposed to touch the produce...all the unwritten French market shopping rules we had to figure out the first year here.
About Us:
We are an American family of 3 who moved to France for an extended stay adventure in 2022.
We wanted to experience Europe as more than rushed tourists on a 10-day vacation. To dive into the culture, learn a new language, experience daily life, and truly know what it was like to work and live somewhere other than the US.
In France, we set up a business, enrolled in a middle school, found housing, and even got our cat a European passport!
While in the US preparing to leave, the information we found about staying in France for longer than a short vacation was directed at college students, young & single digital nomads, or retirees. Where was the useful information for families like us?
With a year under our belts in France, we created Baguette Bound to pass on what we have learned. We hope to make it easier and inspire other families who are interested in experiencing a long stay in France with their families. Stay tuned for more information on French culture, local travel ideas, and the logistics of moving across the world.

Market strategy is simple :
1 - Have a plan.
2 - fail the plan.
3 - buy a lot of thing.
4 - pretend it was the plan once at home.
You must also remember that it is a social event, it is also a walk, an excuse to talk with traders, with people, the opportunity to meet your neighbor and talk about the weather, the neighbor's son who does stupid things...
This is why you will come across a lot of elderly people in the markets, it is sometimes their only opportunity of the week to talk to someone and see people.
Lol, c'est vrai !
It's true about a social event too, I wish we would have mentioned that, I just wasn't thinking about it since it takes a while for that to be part of your market experience. I remember seeing it when we first arrived and thinking how lovely it was.
Then last weekend we went and it felt like around every corner there was someone to do bises with and say hello to. It was the best! I was so excited when i realized we're becoming some of those people at the market too!! 😊
I'm French, born and bred, and I cannot stress enough how critical it is to say "Bonjour" to ANYONE you interact with in France. Not starting with "Bonjour" is extremely rude and I guarantee that you will have a terrible interaction with someone if you don't say "Bonjour".
We consider that not saying it is a sign that you consider yourself better than someone and that you think you are above saying "Bonjour" to them. Never, ever skip it, it will sign your doom.
Bonjour Nicolas, now I know why I often get grumpy faces
Yep, totally. That's probably why so many people get upset when parisians aren't super friendly with them. We have tons of tourists coming here, talking to us in English as if we were their personal guides, and not starting with "bonjour". Eventually we start getting weary of it.
But starting with "bonjour" even if you don't speak French really changes how French people react. It's just natural.
And really say bonjour loudly to be SURE people are hearing it. I encountered people who got insane when they didn’t hear it
I think it shows mostly that you were not raised properly. On dira tour suite: il/elle est mal élevé/elevée.
Oh the pressure! I can't trust myself to always remember.
Conseil de Français : Toujours manger avant d'aller au marché, sinon vous achèterez tout ! Et après, vous n'aurez pas le temps de faire toutes les recettes auxquelles vous avez rêvé le ventre vide.
Tellement vrai (mais je ne le fais pas moi-même 😂)
Excellent advice!
Ce qui est chouette, c'est que votre fille a l'air de se plaire dans sa nouvelle vie et prendre du plaisir à parler français, elle va s'intégrer très rapidement
I think it's also fun to choose some favorite vendors and go back to them. For example I love buying a roast chicken every week from a young Bosnian couple. They are so sweet and I love the idea of supporting their young family. Last week, Monsieur popped an extra chicken leg into my bag. (These vendors will often give you a little something extra like a tomato or a bunch of herbs, as you become familiar.)
With a little French you can ask advice or a question.
I told a cheese vendor whose smile I liked that I wanted her to choose a different cheese for me each week so I could learn. She is having lots of fun planning my "education " and believe me, I am too.
I think the best advice is to look for vendors who are enjoying themselves. Then you can too!
your daughter speaks a very good French. Félicitations, et bienvenue.
I'm French, and i like your video so much ! You have a cute familly. And you make great comments about the life in France.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos and get your perspective on our country. How sad is it that, contrary to you guys, the vast majority of international visitors only get to see a uber-touristy, very predictable part of the country (Paris, Versailles, Mont Saint Michel and Nice, for example!), and not those COUNTLESS cute villages like the one in this video, with their great markets, local vibe and relaxed lifestyle. I always tell foreigners contemplating a visit to France that, just like New York is not the US, Paris is not France. The true soul of our country lies in the mid-sized towns and small villages in the countryside, which your informative videos do a great job at promoting.
That is our hope!!! 😊 Americans don't realize the incredible France outside of these places!
@@BaguetteBound
I think the early generations of American had it like that but unfortunately lost over the time.
Jason does it the French way when you don't know a market: walk to the other end looking at the products and prices, then walk back doing the shopping.
A tip: when I buy a lot of the same thing I always ask for some discount: "Vous me faites un prix si je prends la cagette?" (= Do you make it cheaper if I buy the whole crate?). In summer I always buy fruit (especially peaches) that way.
French here from OH. Great videos. I had to learn to make my own baguettes to survive in the US. As you mentioned, "Bonjour" is the secret password to everything good in France.
Bonjour les baguettes,
votre fille parle tellement bien le français avec son jolie accent adorable !
J'adore le marché.
Originally, fruits and vegetables sold in markets came from the gardens of those selling them. That's still the case in some markets. They were very good products. now, unfortunately, some fruits and vegetables come from industrial farms, from abroad, especially from Spain. you need to pay attention to this, checking the origin of the product.
Yeah, my partner gets mad at the "melon Charentais" from Spain.
Yeah but you have to find a farmer that harvested his crops almost every year and kept the ancestral lineage of his seeds rather than GMO seeds
The conversion problems can be quite funny sometimes: My grandmother always calculated in "old francs" and she mixed things up with the "new francs" but when the Euro arrived it was epic, the calculation of going from 'Euro to francs and old francs were long and painful for this already very old woman, I often accompanied her to the market to carry her commissions and "speed up" a little the calculations and decision-making Despite all the respect I had for her there were days of real laughter
You were a good grandson!
It happened with mine. We created "old euros", and it clicked.
@@valmoer 😊😊
I recently moved to Paris, and this video was truly exactly what I needed. I've been a little intimidated by the market down the street and this helps so much!
I also read that for some produce and fish, there is a law that the vendors must show the Latin name. Like the “truffle” in the display had the name “tuber aestivum” to show it was not the very expensive “tuber melanosporum”. Same thing for fish at fish market.
Félicitations pour le niveau de français de votre fille, cela fait plaisir à entendre. Si dans 6 mois elle se met à tout critiquer et à jamais être contente, ce n'est pas la crise d'adolescence, c'est qu'elle sera 100% française 😄
Hello there ! Just a general thought... 😉 I love to follow the adventures of Americans settling in Europe because it's so funny and also touching, even overwhealming sometimes to see and share their experience of reconnecting with their roots. When looking at those Americans taking the leap of faith of leaving everything behind and discovering Europe like it's a completly new land, it makes me think of how strong a couple of centuries and a simple ocean are to make people completely forget about where they came from in the first place. Most of their ancestors ran away from France, England, Italy, Spain, etc, with the hope of having a better life on the so called New Continent and all of its new rules and new liberty and looked at the Old Continent with nothing but contempt since, often mocking the British or the French. And it's funny and comforting to see many of their descendants, barely a couple of hundred years later, coming back and realising that the true dream always has been Europe. Kind regards. Hope you the best for your new life !!🤗🤗🤗
1:51 Le pire de l'impolitesse c'est de ne pas répondre "bonjour" quand on vous le dit en face à face. Le mieux quand on rentre dans un petit commerce c'est de dire deux fois "bonjour", une fois quand tu rentres, assez fort, pour le commerçant et les clients, n'attendez pas une réponse automatique à ce moment la, et une fois de plus quand c'est a votre tour de choisir. Et meme, si vous etes des clients habituels vous pouvez dire "bonjour, comment allez vous ?" Dans les centres commerciaux moi je dis bonjour aux personnels de sécurité en arrivant. Le signe de tete aussi est important, quand vous avez un contact avec les yeux avec une personne ou si vous etes simplement timide, ça peut vous aidez. Et pour moi le summum de la classe c'est de dire "Bonjour mesdames bonjour messieurs" bien fort quand tu arrives, à condition biensur qu'il y ai du monde. Je me doute que vous connaissez peut etre deja tout ça, mais il est bon de le rappeler aussi pour les Français qui oublieraient...
Really nice video ! I'm french and I'm a frequent market shopper. One advice I would add is that it usually takes a little time to "learn" your local market and to find the producers that you will adopt. The Local grocer who has the best tomatoes for example, or the Best cheese monger. so be patient.
Some of the vendors work the rest of the week on their farm and it shows. A vendor who really looks like a person of the earth is certainly a local producer and it's a good sign that the produce will be of good quality.... and often at a fair price.
I am French and I love your videos which make me see my country in a different way. You have made the choice to live in the countryside and that is admirable rather than always moving to Paris, the French Riviera. France is first and foremost small towns, villages... the market is first and foremost a way to meet people, to meet producers, to drink coffee
Disregard a few (very few) who post critical comments. Good luck learning French. this will come gradually but it is true that it is the condition for integrating well in all countries. Best wishes.
If you would like to come and visit my region, Alsace (northeast of France). I can give you advice.
In big city or very touristy places you can get scam easy as a french or tourist.
Small town markets or makets in general are community driven and most vendor taking too much money from clients would quickly go down.
Same people come every weeks...and reputation and words can make or break a seller.
If rumor or regular clients start to say "this vendor took too much money from an alder or a tourist" or something along those line...it's more or less the end.
It's very hard to have and maintain a good reputation as a seller on a market but it's so easy to loose that reputation.
Sur le marché c'est très simple tu as les revendeurs de fruits et de légumes tu les vois sur les cageots sur les marchés en France tu as les maraîchers donc il revendent leurs production ok meilleur produit ce sont les maraîchers qui revendent ça sur le marché tu vas dans le Sud-Ouest tu as les vendeurs de fruits qui viennent du Lot-et-Garonne tu as les huîtres revendu par les producteurs un exemple envoie sur la vidéo qu'ils achètent du saucisson sur un étalage qui a plusieurs produits ceci est un revendeur ce n'est pas un producteur mais c'est souvent des produits manufacturés industriels tandis que dans les marchés tu as les fermiers qui reprend de leurs propres produits et qu'ils ont une agréation obligatoire donc tu as des produits de ferme avec des saucisson des fromages exetera produit dans la même ferme pareil pour les fromages que des producteurs du revendeur fromage et tu as des sociétés revendre des productions sur les marchés et qui sont pas du tout fromager donc sur les marchés il y a deux catégories la production maraîchère et fermiers et les revendeurs qui vont se fournir à Rungis donc ce ne sont pas des arnaques ce sont des systèmes de vente complètement différente
Learning to make change in French is a high level mental exercise as is expressing telephone numbers as a series of two-digit numbers.
So true. The way we express phone numbers is weird and kinda stupid.
@@Zepeg78 arrogant comment from someone not even able to imagine the possible cultural or technical differences. French telephone numbers are only 10 digits so it seems pretty obvious to group them by 2 digits.
A vrai dire, les Français vont autant au marché pour se dégourdir les jambes, rencontrer du monde, pour les couleurs, pour sentir des odeurs qu'on ne trouve que là-bas, que pour y faire leurs courses. C'est vrai que vous y trouverez des produits d'une qualité inégalée, mais il faut bien connaître les bons producteurs car on y trouve aussi pas mal de charlatans... Donc faîtes attention, posez des questions et nous vous laissez pas impressionner par l'ambiance et les vendeurs qui crient 🤣.
And you have to learn French now !! Cmon ! We are happy to welcome you, but learn our language.
I think they're quite adept in French.
French isn't that easy.
It's à process. They've learning à lot and are most likely still learning.
Les parents font des efforts, mais ils ne travaillent pas en français; la jeune fille qui est au collège le parle avec une pointe d'accent du sud-ouest.
@@jean-pascalesparceil9008 Leur fille semble très bien se débrouiller. Je faisais la réflexion pour les parents, car j'ai remarqué que beaucoup d'adultes anglais/americains dans ma région ne font pas beaucoup d'effort car de plus en plus de français font, eux, l'effort de leur faciliter la vie en parlant anglais. C'est juste une marque de respect quand on vie dans un pays depuis plusieurs années et qu'on semble en apprécier la qualité de vie et les économies qu'on y fait par rapport à son pays d'origine...
@@XkannsenX Les groupes de britanniques en Dordogne? Ils forment des petites communautés, comme souvent en Espagne? Je pense que ce n'est pas le cas de cette famille, la dame a eu sa carte de résident, donc elle a dû montrer qu'elle a le niveau A2, mais l'écrit et la vie courante c'est pas la même chose.
@@XkannsenX ils prennent des cours , ils y a une vidéo à ce sujet accompagné de leur professeur .
Yes 21 years living in France and the markets are tops we buy everything foodie there. Enjoy them!
Your daughter's accent is great 🙏🏻
I think when you see the advice "don't touch the produce" it can also mean: "don't take every single peach in your hand to find the ripest one" because that's understandably frowned upon.
If you go to Spanish or Italian supermarket, you even have special plastic gloves meant just for that.
It's just basic hygiene!
great video, i am from NL, this reminds me of another couple , here in NL, they also love the market in NL, this was in Rotterdam, also my cousin from the US she loved the market. what we take for granted, they thought it is special.
Très bonne vidéo😊 la région sud-ouest a des produits de très bonne qualité et est idéale pour faire les marchés. Attention, dans certaines régions très touristiques comme la Côte méditerranée, il peut y avoir des arnaques et des vendeurs peu scrupuleux, surtout envers des touristes étrangers
I live in Paris and I have a market two days a week in my street.
I sometimes have a precise idea of what I want and often I buy anything out of greed or because I discover a product that I hadn't thought of but which seems absolutely essential to me (not at all).
it's the pleasure of seeing the whole neighborhood, the merchants etc.
I agree! The whole experience is a joy. And the longer we're here, the more I look forward to the market as a day to see our neighbors.
But we really don't have an equivalent in most areas of the US and we decided to make this video after seeing so many friends and family visiting us just freeze at the market because they felt so overwhelmed, plus every interaction will probably require French, which they might or might not speak. It's a strange thing to be so excited about something and also kind of paralyzed by so much choice. Thanks for watching!
Love, love farmers markets, not too many in Arizona desert.
Nice video and tips , everybody loves a good Marché time .
Nice to see that you and Juliana are having fun .
Eager to see the next one , from Fresnes .
The pretty market of sainte-foy! Indeed it must be difficult to understand some of our habits in everyday life 😆 I hope you like our region. I will look at your other videos because it is very interesting to have the point of view of people who come to settle in France, to understand the difficulties, the positive and negative aspects! Thank you ❤
The best markets are definitely in the countryside. In big cities, sellers just shout at you to buy something, and I can't go to the market because of that. In the villages, it's calmer and more peaceful.
Your daughter’s french is so beautiful!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you, we are so proud of her!
Your daughter’s amazing : confident, having fun, great French, and certainly opinionated on the kind of saucisson, she prefers. Congrats again.
Merci ! We are very proud of her..🥰
like for any foreigner familly shopping in the public areas,
follow the kids, their ability to record the informations will make the choices eassier (bu not too long in the boulangerie)
bon courage
Thanks for the video - just in time to share with guests who will be coming to France from the U.S. for my wedding this summer! ☺
Love your videos ❤
Thanks! 🙂
Vergeoise is an unrefined beet sugar used in the north of France but normally, it is available in large supermarkets throughout France. There is blonde and brown vergeoise. Blonde vergeoise is delicious on pancakes, it tastes better than sugar. I live in the countryside like you and I think it's important to find the right bakery, the right pastry shop, the right butcher's shop. There are often bakeries that will be more specialized in bread and others more specialized in cakes depending on the owner's training. The quality of the products is different. The taste of the bread is also different depending on the bakery. It's the same for butchers' shops depending on where the meat comes from.
This was a super informative and super fun video!! I look forward to your videos-bonne journée et à bientôt! jacqueline
Bien vu ! Bonjour, merci et au revoir, sont à la base de la politesse pour les Gaulois que nous sommes. Pour les unités, on s'y fait. J'ai moi même habité 2 ans aux USA, et c'est un peu difficile au début avec les unités US bizarres, mais on y arrive ! Le plus dur : les pound per square inch pour la pression des pneus qui ne me parlent pas du tout ! J'ai même appris ma taille en pieds et pouces :-)) pour faire plaisir à mes collègues ! Et avec le café au marché, je vois que vous prenez les bonnes habitudes ! Cheers !
I had forgotten this, but the first time we went to put air in tires we were so confused, it's true, lol.
PSI to me is just the sound of tire deflating…
Dans les marchés, vous savez que les producteurs ne peuvent pas aller très loin pour chercher les marchandises, question de fraîcheur
Donc profitez pour faire des dégustations sur place si cela peut vous plaire 😊
Moi je vous recommanderais de faire un tour dans un magasin" Grand-frais" à mes yeux c'est le top qualité ,certain produit sont locale et d'autre internationale fruit, légume ,viandes, ce n'est pas plus chers que les autres, la balance des fruits ou légumes ce fait par la caissière quand ont decharge le panier à la fin ! A propos ,un jolie panier, c'est plus "classe" que des sacs!👌🫡
Nice video. Thank you to be so positive about our culture. Yes it's a big tip to say Bonjour when you begin any interaction with Frenchs. I suppose that explain why so much Americans experiences the rudeness of the Frenchs because it's not the use in US. I've worked in a lot of shops, and if a customer was don't answer me back after my Bonjour I was the tendancy to be less nice with him (but not rude; the customer is the King...). For us (Frenchs) it's like the customer have no any respect for you, like if you are his "slave".
Aw you're having such an adventure.
Good information, thanks. Jason looks more French with his new glasses.
Lol, this is Raina - I think so too!
Bonjour! Thank you for the excellet video. Merci! Dean & Cindy
I love so much your videos! You guys are great and so opened to your new environment. I do know and love the U.S, having relatives living there - and having gone there several times in several states. Bienvenue en terre de France ! Enjoy! BTW you are very inspirational and your videos are really nicely done.
I noticed your girl was the one who could speak with the market vendors right? ;)
We usually shop without her, but she was out of school that day, and we know everyone loves to hear her accent (based on pervious comments) so we asked her to speak for the video. But of course now everyone thinks we were avoiding speaking.🤦♀️ No doubt she IS so much more fluent than us though. We are so proud of her!
Thanks for watching!
Your daughter has a lovely accent !
😊 thank you
Market sellers are used to old people who can no longer see very well. You can present your hand open with your coins and notes and they will take the money directly and give you change.
Wow your daughter sounds m Native! I know you must be really proud of her. She was able to assimilate and pick up the language. ❤🎉
We are!! We still work on it everyday, but she's miles (kilometers 😂) ahead of us and it makes me happy to see.
Great video. Do you find the quality to be better than supermarkets? Or is it the same but you go for the experience?
merci pour votre vidéo, le marché me donne faim !
if you struggle with numbers when you talk to the merchant, maybe you can use your hands/fingers or draw the number with the finger
A pound is around 500g then 1/2 kg. We still have the habit to use the very old term of " une livre" ( aroung 500g)
Qui dit " une livre" en France ?
@@Marius-jg6sl that s the weight term, the book is "un livre". the pound sterling (UK currency) = une livre sterling.

Bonjour de la Californie .
Lines up with my experiences at French markets, bien sur! When I was living there i'm not sure if they had to state 'where' the produce was from--that seems like an improvement and I wish my local market in Canada would do that!
Quand je vivais là-bas ok pour quelle raison avez-vous quitté la France🤔🤔
@@hervedupont6955 Je suis canadienne et a l'époque (1990s) je n'étais pas admissible à un visa prolongé. J'étais étudiante et fille au pair. Mais maintenant, je pourrais demander un visa! C'est pourquoi je suis 'Baguette Bound'!
It is true that there is not that much bread at the market, people usually have their local boulangerie, therefore, there is not much shoppers to go for bread, unless they are special breads and it is a very big market.
The point about the "bonjour" is on the point. you acknowledge the human in front of you and signal you are ready to interact with him. And any word of french even with a huge accent is welcome, we know it is a difficult language, learning is not easy and with a few words you show you make an effort, it is OK if you don´t speak a lot french our english is often not that good neither (for most of the french).
Wait until they discover brocante
You're in the south of France so people don't queue. That's a rule. Forming an orderly queue is considered strange and over the top. It's a little bit different in the north but still, a certain amount of anarchism is always appreciated.
Apart from that, congratulations on your local market. It really looks nice!
Bonjour and s’il vous plaît and merci. Super important..
Your daughter speaks French well
I love your perspective. But as a french market shopper myself, i think the advice "be prepared" is misguided.
When I go to the market, I buy the most beautiful and cheaper products (which are usually season vegetables), then I ask myself how to cook them and what to do with them. It's much more fun this way 😀
Another advice: go around 11h30, and they usually throw the unsold stuff at you so you can have 10kg of excellent products for 5€ or less!
As french, no way to buy a tomato without touching it ! Hard tomato is crap.
Argh, you're done, you're french : you end up in the café after shopping at the market 😅 c est l heure de l apéro 😊
Aperitif, not apero, PLEASE
@@solangelauthier2381 hé bé non, l'apéro c est l'apéro, c est le moment où on boit des apéritifs. Au pluriel, au singulier c est chez les Parisiens, con ! 😋
Hello beautiful people ! Don't be scared about taxes, in France it's all included in price. Nothing to add with the bill.
"...100 personnes..."
So you will wait a while 😁
Bring a bag... and your French-speaking daughter 😅❤
That's cute because I remember asking for 500 grams of various veggies from a farmer and finally he said with a twinkle in his eye: a pound, right?
To be fair even for me as a European it's hard to visuallize measurements of things regardless of the system. Sure I know what a Kg of sugar or rice and a Liter of milk approximately looks like, but when I have a receipe that suggests 500g apples, 250g raisins and a Kg of cheese I would have a hard time knowing how much that would be of each. Luckily the markets and even the supermarkets where you can measure produce most of the times comes into handy.
The more you go, the more you'll know what 1kg of apples, tomatoes, oranges, shrimps, etc. corresponds to...
Don't be afraid, go ahead and make up your own mind and experience. The gentleman's strategy of going around the market to get an idea is a good approach, and a good way to have fun. "Voilà ... profitez bien de notre joli pays, vous êtes les bienvenu."
Cerise a 4€ le kg?
Etonnant, en supermarché c'est au moins le double...
Vous avez tout compris, vous êtes français maintenant.
I’m just wondering what brought you here in the first place.
As a French who has spent 22 years abroad I am looking forward to leaving this doomed country again.
It will only get worse here, food is still good though.
Bonjour de Nantes 😉.Do you know who is my avatar.......?

Si tu connais même pas la base de l'histoire de France,t'es mal barré 😉@@JeanChordeiles
@@first-dooblette6911 Bonjour, Clovis ! Effectivement, dire que Clovis est le fondateur de la France est erroné. La France n'existait ni avant ni après Clovis. Il existait la Francie, elle-même divisée plus tard en Francie orientale, occidentale, etc, mais ces territoires englobaient eux-mêmes des régions qui se trouvent aujourd'hui en Allemagne, en Belgique, au Pays-Bas. Il est vrai par contre que Clovis a régné sur des tribus Franques, qui étaient d'origine germanique. Mais jusqu'à la fin du XII° siècle, il n'existait pas de "roi de France" (Rex Franciae) mais un "roi des Francs" (Rex Francorum). Le premier roi à avoir été appelé roi de France a été Philippe II. Avant lui, il n'existait pas de roi de France, mais un roi des Francs, sur un territoire composite.
Je vous conseille la lecture (si vous voulez lire sur le sujet assez rapidement) de l'article de Wikipedia sur Clovis, qui est très bien fait.
Nice vid, thank you. May I stress the use of a bag (for life) ? Though disposable plastic bags are still available here and there, they've been "officially" forbidden for a few years now. Showing a handful of spare change for the merchant to pick a few coins from is something I've seen old (French) people doing forever for sometimes they can't see weel enough to tell apart different coins. Just pretend you can't see clearly ;) Last, no offence but your saucissons didn't really look "local". Must have been Spanish stuff. Don't get me wrong, Spaniards make excellent charcuterie too... but those didn't belong with that category. Check the ingredients ;)
You have to deal furthermore with southwest french accent.
Next step, going to the market without your daughter who speak a better french than you ! lol
Il a un accent mais il comprend plutôt bien.
Le français n'est pas une langue facile.
Le français est une langue moyennement difficile, pas plus que l italien. Beaucoup plus facile que l allemand ou le russe.
S.v.p ne dites pas du mal de la France et de sa langue, les autres s en chargent.
@@JeanPierre-nl2ge S.v.p. n'impliquez pas que je porte un jugement de valeur sur la France ou la langue française.
J'estime que l'Italien est plus facile néanmoins. Je ne connais pas la russe. La grammaire allemande est plus technique mais connaît bien moins d'exceptions.
Les langues sont très diverses et ne se limitent pas aux seules langues indo-européennes.
A titre d'exemple, la grammaire cantonaise est, je crois, très simple, comparativement au Français, ou à l'Espagnol, ou même au Hongrois, qui, une fois passée l'exotisme relatif de ses modalités agglutinantes, sans verbe avoir et sans conjugaison future, présente davantage de régularité que le français.

IT'S EVERY WHERE IN EUROPE ,IT NOTHING SPECIAAL. !!!
They are not saying that it is specific to France. They say that from an American perspective, it is different from what they used to live in the US.
Besides, food markets are different in Europe from a country to another (luckily). All have their specificities.
Thank you guys,you are such fun to watch and nice to see foodies enjoying themselves. I am going to watch this upload on my own because my husband wants to rush through these french marche videos and I want to enjoy watching you guys; so later and many thanks.
Good Lord, having to mask the face of a children!
I dont believe there is a requirement, but it was easy to do and felt like best practice for that moment of the video.
Leur petite fille parle assez bien. En revanche,l' homme a un horrible accent.
Ils viennent de s'installer en France. Peut-être pourriez-vous déjà leur souhaiter la bienvenue, et ensuite leur laisser du temps, qu'en dites-vous ?

Bonne soirée à vous !
Vu comment nous massacrons l anglais, il a le droit de détruire le français autant qu il veut !
Whaou! Je pensais que notre réputation concernant notre incapacité à accepter qu'un étranger ne parle pas bien le Français était surfaite, je me rend compte avec votre commentaire que c'est une (triste) réalité. La petite fille va à l'école donc elle va plus vite que ses parents dans son apprentissage, mais ses parents apprennent le Français avec des cours, c'est plus long mais courageux. Comment est-il possible de parler d"horrible accent"? Nous-même avons un accent (horrible?) quand nous parlons Anglais, et comment prendriez-vous une critique aussi acerbe que la vôtre si un anglophone se le permettait. Heureusement pour nous l'accent Français en Anglais est vu comme mignon ou sexy, et pour ma part je trouve l'accent américain ou anglais agréable et exotique. J'ai honte des Français comme vous qui sont si prompts à critiquer, vous donnez de notre pays une image détestable dans laquelle je ne me reconnais pas. Nous devrions être flattés de l'intérêt que portent des étrangers pour notre pays.
