Ever wonder what Parisians are really like, how they dress, or if they’re actually as rude or arrogant as they’re said to be?
You might be surprised to learn that Parisians aren’t what you might expect from the way they dress, to how they interact with tourists, and even how they style their homes.
Today I’m sharing my first impressions of Parisian culture and style and all the little “isms” that jumped out at me.
You may or may not know that my husband and I recently returned from our 10-day anniversary trip to Paris and it was everything that I hoped for and more. But there were some things about Parisian culture and, of course, style that totally shocked me and that didn’t line up with a lot of the research I did leading up to the trip.
French and Parisian cliches do exist and I am well aware of them. However, that didn’t stop me from expecting certain things about Paris, like rude waitstaff and pickpockets, to be true. I wanted to be prepared after all.
Also as a stylist, I wasn’t sure what to expect when it came to street style, and what I discovered surprised me.
Paris and Parisians are walking contradictions in the best way possible. If you want to know what Parisians are really like and also want to hear my very personal take on Parisian culture then you must watch this week’s episode.
Also, stay tuned because over the next few weeks I’ll be creating more videos about my purchases, what Mike and I did and spent our money on, street style videos, and how Paris has influenced me creatively in every way.
Next week you’ll be able to purchase my very own Mapster of all the best places to shop, eat, drink, play, stay, and relax. Be on the lookout for that! It includes nearly 70 of the most amazing off-the-beaten-path things to do while in Paris.
Before you go, leave me a comment below letting me know what video you would like me to make next!
Bisou!
Loved this video! I want to hear everything you felt, experienced, and learned while in Paris. My dream destination, that I want to make real in the next few years!
Bonjour! As a regular visitor to Paris, I was delighted by your vlog b/c it was up to date and seen through your fresh eyes. I was there in June ‘18, and will return in Dec ‘19. Here’s hoping the weather will be decent! One year we woke up to a very heavy, wet snowfall, and it was still coming down! I ruined at least one pair of shoes! I agree that street fashion has evolved a lot since my first trip in ‘74, when you wouldn’t have been caught dead wearing sneakers out in public. Today’s take is much more reasonable, thankfully. I look forward to a vlog on street fashion and what you spent your euros on. Grand merci!
PS Your sign off, bisou, was cute, but next time please change it to bisous (pl) since no one in France gives only one kiss! 😘😘
