Welcome to the season premiere of RIP Diets! In this episode, I talk about the American obsession with French women, particularly with the way they eat and exercise. Then, I have a conversation with my new French friend Lucile who gives me an inside look into the food culture of France, and answers all my burning questions. Do French people really eat all that bread, or is the "traditional French breakfast" actually just coffee and a cigarette? This episode explores what we could learn from the French attitude toward food, movement, bodies, and wellness... and if there's anything THEY could learn from US.

Little Talk in Slow French : Learn French through conversations
"Do French people quarrel so often?”
When France won the World Cup in 1998, it was meant to be the start of a golden age for the team and the country; and the success of the multi-racial squad did, briefly, unite the country. But the 20 years between that victory and the 2018 triumph showed that France needed more than football to bring it together…British journalist and broadcaster Matthew Spiro's "Sacré Bleu: Zidane to Mbappé, a football journey" takes us inside the last 30 years of French football and French society, speaking to eye witnesses including Arsene Wenger, Gerard Houllier and Marcek Desailly. It's a riveting read for anyone with any interest in football or France.Why does France - a country with a patchy football tradition until the 1980s - now export more professional footballers than any other nation? (There are currently more than 100 playing in Europe's big four leagues)? Why do so many of them come from the same underprivileged areas - the suburbs and satellite towns of Paris? Do French football's multi-racial successes show the way forward for French society in general - or merely highlight its ongoing difficulties in other areas? Matthew has covered Les Bleus at major tournaments for the past two decades. He moved to Paris in 2002, and his work has appeared on/in the BBC, UEFA.com, the Irish Times, The Times, the Daily Telegraph, and Canal+.
This episode features our frequent and very popular guest Elyse Rivin. If you enjoy her episodes, please consider supporting her on Patreon. Everybody is talking about Emily in Paris. Elyse and I watched it together and we took some notes on our reactions. I must confess that we only watched two episodes, and we already have a lot to say! This is our perspective from a French perspective. While Elyse isn't technically French, she's lived in France so long she's forgetting her English ;-) Click play, let’s see if you agree with us! Why Is Emily in Paris Getting So Much Attention? Big name newspapers and magazines are all talking about this show which is surprising because it is very new. It probably has to do with the fact that we can't travel right now and going to Paris on TV is better than not going at all. The fact that this show has become controversial is also playing in its favor. People have to see this show that everyone is talking about. Emily in Paris is definitely not a documentary. It is more like one stereotype after another and we point them out in our conversation. Emily in Paris Is Chock-Full of Stereotypes Stereotypes are helpful in fiction because they allow the writer to make points quickly. Nothing much happens in the show, but boy do they spout stereotypes! French men prefer older women. This may be a reference to President Macron, but it's a new stereotype about French people. It's nice that they use French songs in the show but these are not songs that we recognize. When she walks into her new apartment the concierge gives her the evil eye because she doesn't say "bonjour". She says "hi" which shows she assumes everyone knows English. You have to start off by making an effort to speak some French. You should not walk into a business situation in France with zero French and zero understanding of why that's not acceptable. The 5th floor / 4th floor thing comes up several times. Ground level is "rez-de-chaussé" in France, that's 0. We start counting one above ground level whereas Americans say ground level is 1. The Realtor who shows her to her "Chambre de Bonne" that looks nothing like a "Chambre de Bonne" hits on her saying it doesn't matter that she has a boyfriend in America, she needs one in France. The stereotype of French men all being overtly interested in sex. They are typically more subtle than that. Emily shows up at the office on her first day with a shirt that has an Eiffel Tower print on it. She's too flashy. Annie doesn't think the lady at the boulangerie would ever correct someone for using the wrong article, but Elyse says it's happened to her. Sylvie, the boss tells her not to bother to learn French because she'd be terrible at it. On her first day at the job French people explain to Emily how all Americans are fat while they smoke in the office. The fat/smoker thing is established early on in the show and comes back several times. There are many French people who believe that when you stop smoking you gain 5 kilograms. But even with that, French people are quitting smoking fast. Both Annie and Elyse know people who used to smoke and have quit and none who are still smoking. It's only a minority of French people who smoke today, this stereotype is dated. Sylvie says "Without pleasure what are we? Germans?" This is definitely something French people might say and something that would make us laugh. Luke asks Emily why she is shouting. It is true that in France kids are raised to keep their voice down generally and that Americans would do well to be more discreet in France. The whole city is like Ratatouille! Really? That's what she knows about France? Ratatouille and Saving Private Ryan? This is the idiot American stereotype. Everyone gets stereotyped in Emily in Paris! It is true that hall lights are all on short timers in France and that's annoying. But electricity is expensive in France! Now we have phones with flashlights so it's not such a big deal, but growing up in France Annie always looked to see where the light switch were. French people are lazy and don't go to work until 10:30 in the morning. That stereotype is false. Taking a 3 hour lunch isn't OK either any more for most people. This is an old trope about French civil servants doing nothing all day and it's not been correct for a long time. Nobody wants to have lunch with her on her first day. That's possible. There are snobby work environments in France. Not most places thankfully, but it happens. She goes to eat lunch alone on the benches of the Palais Royal and that's where she meets Mindy. Do French women as scantily as Mindy? French people hate the idea that women should dress conservatively because men can't control themselves. But in reality most French women dress conservatively at work. Mindy says "Some places people gossip behind your back, but French people are mean to your face!" French people are very blunt. Annie has an American friend who says "If you want to know the truth, ask a child or a French person!" French people who wok in social media wouldn't be so afraid of English that they run off. That stereotype is very overdone in the show. The term "plouc" is something kids call one-another. It means hick or farm boy. It doesn't fit Emily at all. And if Emily doesn't speak French she would have no idea how to spell it. French people would have chosen a much more refined insult because our language is full of them. Luc says "Americans live to work and French people work to live". This is actually true. French people value quality of life over money. Emily is early to work on her second day. A co-worker tells her not to show up early. That is true. In France you're supposed to be competent and professional but not come across as too eager. Emily steps on dog poop coming out of her posh apartment. This stereotype is old and it would not be the case today, Paris (and all of France) has come a long way in teaching people to pickup after their dogs. Sylvie explains to Emily that she shouldn't be an open book. It's better to be mysterious, sophisticated and hard to get. That stereotype is actually true. Antoine Lambert the "nose" comes across as sleaze ball. Dominant males in France can come across like that. I'm better than you, I dress better, I talk better. The concept of dominant male in France is nothing like what you're used to in America. There's a suggestion that French women sleep with their bosses and clients and American women don't. We highly doubt that. But French and Italian women are more likely to talk about it. It is common for French women who know their husbands are cheating on them not to get a divorce. They don't see why they should have to give up their standard of living and comfortable life because he cheated. French people don't care as much about politician's private life and shenanigans, but that's changing with social media. Emily's steak is too rare and she tries to send it back and the cook comes out to explain to her that she's wrong. That's actually happened to Elyse. French people have strong opinions about what you eat, when you eat, how you eat it, etc. That's one of the reasons why we've kept our food traditions strong. But it's annoying. Emily in Paris gets that one right. It is also very French to do what you want and go against the grain. You can get along just fine as a woman in France without makeup or jewelry, but you have to be ready to own it. When Emily takes a selfie with the bakery lady, there's a sign that goes up for a second that says "Bonjour goes a long way", so clearly somebody on that show knows what they're talking about. French actors and actresses on the series are beautiful but not perfect, they look like real people. Why is "le vagin" a masculine word? Carla Bruni texts Brigitte Macron to tell her about this product and it take off. That's not realistic but it was funny. And French nominal genders make no sense. Emily in Paris is unrealistic and entertaining at the same time. TV being unrealistic and full of stereotypes is not new. This show is escapist, pleasant, and the production quality is high. It will probably introduce a whole new generation of young people to Paris and we love that. We really hate that it'll instill the same old stereotypes in all these new people. We'd love more subtle dialog. @JohnAugust to the rescue? B.J.

Will Caitlin make us move to France just so she can talk pretty about French wine? Listen to this tenth episode to find out. Also...happy tenth episode anniversary you sweet sweet listeners :)
Do French women really think differently about sexual harassment - and if so, does feminism have national borders? Catherine Deneuve was one of 100 prominent women who signed an open letter to Le Monde critiquing the #metoo movement. "We believe that the freedom to say yes to a sexual proposition cannot exist without the freedom to pester," they wrote. Have the French mastered a more sophisticated approach to relations between men and women, based around seduction - or is this a myth that sustains male power? Parisian journalist Catherine Guilyardi investigates.

Join Us in France Travel Podcast, Episode 195 On today’s episode, I chat with David Palachek about how to dress for Paris. We’ll be sharing actionable advice you can use to pack your suitcase for Paris and look great in the city of light. Some of the tricks French women use to look good are surprisingly simple. Annie asked a lot of stylish French women how they do it, and it turns out that they all follow the same basic rules! If you’re interested in dressing sharp in Paris, also listen to Paris Packing List, Episode 137. • [03:05] We’re not fashion professional, but rather regular people who care about packing the right clothes for Paris. • [04:03] You don’t have to change how you dress unless you enjoy the process of figuring out how to look best and what to pack to look stylish in Paris. • [05:33] The advice Annie will be sharing comes from stylish women in her life, not from professionals. These are opinions, not commandments! • [06:14] Take basic clothes that can travel well and can be mixed and matched, and buy accessories when you get to Paris. • [07:31] Don’t bring clothes that need to be ironed. If something needs a little help, the steam produced in the shower can help de-wrinkle to some extent. Or you could get a product such as this one that gets great review from travelers. Or get shirts like this one made for travel. • [09:35] The secret sauce that most French fashion-conscious people follow and that you can apply to yourself as well. • [10:03] Break the codes on purpose and thoughtfully. • [11:21] Mix and match formal and casual. • [13:27] Beware of blacks, various colors hide inside of blacks. • [14:13] Mix old and new. • [16:02] Own your clothes, don’t let your clothes own you. • [16:14] Pushing the boundaries with the color wheel. • [16:48] Clothes choices for people who are not afraid of color. • [17:48] Great-looking clothes choices for more conservative dressers. • [18:44] Tie dye is not a thing in France for the most part. I saw a tiny bit of it last summer, but it didn’t catch on. • [19:44] You don’t have to wear heels to go visit the Eiffel Tower or do any of the other things tourists enjoy. • [20:02] There are a lot of cobbled streets in Paris, which is one reason why heels are not be ideal. • [20:52] It’s good if you can pick tennis shoes with some texture or a hint of color. • [21:08] Classy Sunday dress goes with tennis shoes and either a perfecto leather jacket or a jean jacket. • [22:13] Casual cotton dress goes with dressy shoes or dressy accessories. • [22:42] Jeans with holes go with dressy heels, women over age 50 really shouldn’t wear holey jeans. • [23:48] Slacks with a dress shirt and tennis shoes. Dressy shorts with tennis shoes. Jean shorts with dressier shoes. Shorts and heels is trashy. • [24:13] You can either show off your legs or your boobs, but not both. • [25:08] No shirts with the arms cut off on men. • [26:10] T-shirts are OK if they are plain. No Mickey Mouse t-shirts, no bright colors, no t-shirts with jokes. Men can dress up a t-shirt with a jacket or sport coat. • [26:54] Leggings and yoga pants are not really worn besides when doing sports, but if you love them, pair them up with something dressy on top. • [27:17] Fashions change so fast for tights that you’re better off buying your tights when you get to France after you’ve seen what other people wear. • [27:47] Get a nice haircut before you come, so you feel happy with your hair. • [28:16] French women wear big necklaces. • [28:56] French women often own (and bring out!) different color purses. • [29:12] Caps for me are OK, but it depends on the cap. No sports team mascots on your hats! • [30:07] Choose caps that look different from your regular baseball cap. • [30:59] T-shirts are OK, but don’t just throw on a t-shirt just to get dressed. Jokes t-shirts are not big in France. Wear t-shirts that are more “passe-partout” (something that goes everywhere, a master key). • [32:25] Leggings and yoga pants are not pants, which doesn’t mean that you’ll never see them, but they “should” be reserved for exercising. • [33:08] If you like to wear a hat, try paper boy hats or driving caps. • [34:01] The types of sneakers that are in fashion in France now. • [35:04] Beware of Paris weather, it can be wet a lot of the year. • [36:05] French people do not all wear black all the time. • [36:53] Packing mostly neutral colors makes it easier to pack because you can rotate things around and most of them will go together. • [37:13] French people own a lot of different jackets and use them to change their look very effectively. • [38:30] Be careful how you dress or scam artists will target you all the time: David’s experience. • [40:21] How the ring scam works. • [40:36] How not to fall for the ring scam or any other scam: don’t talk to them, pretend they’re not even there and walk on! • [41:11] Shoes are the most important part of your outfit because you will walk a lot in Paris, many visitors walk 20,000 steps each day! • [42:19] If you’re like Beyonce and always wear heels even around your house because that’s most comfortable to you, then so be it! • [42:38] Break your shoes in before the trip! • [42:50] When in Paris, count on getting wet. Bring at least two pairs of walking shoes. • [43:12] Tips for people who travel light and only bring a carry-on. • [44:48] No socks with sandals. No white socks with dress shoes. Only kids get to wear colorful socks. We mostly wear black socks. • [46:27] Keep an eye out for sales men wearing a fitted suit, a colorful dress shirt, and super pointy shoes. It seems to be the unspoken “uniform” of all young sales guys in France! • [47:43] Try walking around Versailles or the Louvre in heels! • [47:57] Basketball shorts are not street attire in France, leave them at home. • [48:43] If you have a teen who is stubborn about what they’ll wear and not wear, don’t fight them too much. Kids get away with a lot, even in France. • [49:12] People in France wear all sorts of types of jeans. • [49:54] Scarves! French people wear them all the time, both men and women. Different types of scarves are good for different times of the year. • [52:12] What about t-shirts? Can I wear t-shirts in France? • [53:10] All the different types of shirts French women wear instead of t-shirts. • [54:10] Do French men wear polo shirts? Not very often. • [54:55] French people wear fitted clothes, even the fluffier French people do that. It looks better. • [55:48] Steve and David’s pre-Paris regimens. • [58:14] Bags for both men and women: it’s about good looks and safety too. • [59:35] Beware of the backpack, they are not safe. • [60:23] What bag should photographers take? They should be more judicious about what lens to carry! • [61:37] By now smart phone cameras do the job really nicely for most things. Not all, but good enough for everyone by photo nerds. • [63:21] Don’t take all your credit cards with you. Don’t take your US driver’s license with you. Only carry a photocopy of your passport with you. Leave all that stuff in the hotel safe! Be super careful with your phone when you’re in Paris also. • [65:27] There are 140,000 theft events in Paris every year. Those are incidents where a person’s purse or phone gets stolen without violence. • [66:16] What coats and jackets to take to Paris. • [67:30] Don’t try to be somebody you’re not just because you’re coming to Paris. Bring yourself and be comfortable. • [68:49] Saying “bonjour” will go a long way, but don’t smile all the time. French people don’t. • [69:16] Misconceptions: We don’t all wear black. We do wear shorts. We do wear tennis shoes. There are poorly dressed French people, you will see them when you come!
