Hello my fellow readers. It has been a long time yes, but ne vous vous inquiétez pas (don’t worry in French) , I have not forgotten about you all! In fact, I have so much to say I don’t even know where to start.
After leaving Paris, we arrived in La Rochelle. It is very different in a good way. There are, of course things that I miss about Paris: the ease of getting around with the metro, the nightlife, the simplicity of talking and meeting people. But la Rochelle is different and amazing as well: the constant presence of the beach, the picturesque presence of the town, the music, festivals, and the calm atmosphere of a small town. I know that there are questions that you are dying to know, and there are things that I am dying to tell you, I just don’t know how! Or where to start! So I decided to answer a few posed to me from my inbox.
“ Is it true what they say about the French women? How are they different than Americans?”:
This came from a male. And the biggest difference is that the beach are topless, BUT many people wear their bikinis, unless they are laying down tanning, or unless you are an old grandma (which then looks like old leather)
Another question was posed to me about the French men, and all I can say for that is that they do wear Speedos when going to la plage, (the beach in French) and it is not appealing. They are a bit forceful though- I was slapped in Paris by one ( yes I slapped him back twice, I would have fought him if I was not pulled back;) and come off a bit strong when they want to go with you. This guy at a sandwich place wanted me to go to his place later on at night! He thought after a couple winks that he could get me! One guy at the Eiffel tower asked to do the same. I didn’t understand him at first, but he kept saying “amour.” I told him yes but not now because my friends were there and to give me another Eiffel tower chain please ( he was selling them) and that I would come back tomorrow. He in fact gave me two chains. I never returned.
All in all I can say that the French men and women are very open, for the women it takes a while to break them in, (perhaps why the men are so blunt) and they are not looking for foreigners like the men are. If you are at a good club, you will be sure to find a girl willing to dance with you and have a good time. If you’re a girl looking for someone to take care you that will happen with a French guy I think, but it might take some time, if your looking for someone for a short ride, then you’ll have fun!
Until next time! Partie 2 is in the editing process! More questions? Either reply or faceook me! xxx
