Assistant: Caption: Art of living.
This is one of my favorite expressions
in French and yet it is
quite difficult to define.
While searching, I found this definition:
Way of living, being and thinking of
an individual or a group of people.
But I think it doesn't reflect enough
what the art de vivre really is.
It's a little more than that.
It's taking advantage of the best moments
of life and seeking the small
pleasures of everyday life.
Hi, Hi, Hi!
Welcome to a new episode
of French Mornings.
If you are learning French, you
have come to the right place.
I am Elisa and on this channel,
I help you to improve your French
and to speak in a more natural way.
Do not hesitate to
subscribe to the channel
and to activate the bell to
be aware of future videos.
Today, I'm talking about what I
prefer in the French lifestyle.
So make yourself comfortable,
turn on the subtitles if you need them.
And let's go!
Before we start,
I just wanted to answer to a few
messages that I often receive from many
of you who ask me for advice
to improve your French,
speak more fluently,
improve your pronunciation
And lately, I have created several
courses that can help you.
If you are interested, you will
find the link in the description.
The first thing I love about France
is spending time in restaurants
and especially the way to spend
the moment in the restaurant.
Let me explain. In France,
when you go to a restaurant, unless
you are in a hurry,
we know that we are going to spend there
at least between one and 2 hours. At least!
We don't just go to the restaurant
to eat, but most of all to
spend a moment together.
So generally,
when you go out to dinner with your
friends, you don't really
plan anything else
afterwards. We know that we will mainly
spend the whole evening there
talking for a long time.
And what I like here is
that unlike some countries,
the waiters let people
finish their meal in peace.
They let them finish their discussion too.
This is something that I find quite
common in Mediterranean countries.
But I have also
traveled and in some other countries,
in Central America for example,
as soon as I put the fork down
on the table that the waiter would come
and take the plate away from me directly.
In France, it would be quite
frowned upon to do that.
It would mean
"alright now you have to leave."
While in France, we still have this
culture where you can stay in the
restaurant as long as you
want. And vice versa,
so if you come from a
country where you are
used to the fact that the service is quite
fast, that we clear the
table quickly after
you've finished eating in France,
it's going to be very different.
So try to remember that no, the
waiters are not ignoring you.
It's just that they give you
time to enjoy your meal.
And when you learn a language,
it's true that ordering at a
restaurant is one of those little
steps that we will go through
until we become fluent.
If you want to improve your
French and to order easily at the
restaurant, then I recommend you
one of the best online
French schools Lingoda.
Now you know that Lingoda
is a platform I've been working
with for a very long time.
I thank them very much for
sponsoring this video.
With Lingoda, I'm taking Spanish classes.
It is my goal this year to become fluent.
And by the way, not too long ago,
I was at a restaurant in Barcelona
with a friend and some of her friends.
And I managed to get a little
conversation in Spanish during that
evening and I was very very happy.
I feel that my Spanish is
improving right now and
it's a really nice feeling.
What I really like about Lingoda
is that the courses are held
by native teachers who are
very very nice.
The content of the courses is very good
quality and the teachers are very careful
to ensure that everyone participates
during the class, so that
each student can speak.
I'm very afraid of running out of battery
on my phone so I always have the charger.
There are courses available
at all hours so you can
always find time to practice.
And what's really amazing,
is that you can benefit from
all of this almost for free.
Let me explain.
Several times a year, Lingoda organizes
the Lingoda Sprint Challenge.
This is a two-month language challenge
to help you progress as
quickly as possible.
If you attend 30 classes per month
for two months, Lingoda
will reimburse you at 100%.
And if you have a little less time
to dedicate, you can still attend
fifteen classes a month for
two months and at that time
Lingoda will refund 50%.
This is an excellent opportunity to
launch a new challenge at
the beginning of the year.
If you are interested, I
let you read the participationrules
on the Lingoda website.
You can also register with
the code that appears on the screen or
thanks to the link in the description
and receive a €20 or $25
discount when you register.
What I also love about
France is the bakeries.
And when I travel, it's
something I miss a lot.
Because one of my favorite
things to do in life,
is to walk into a bakery
and eat a chocolate éclair.
In France, there are a lot of
bakery products, they are found
everywhere, it is estimated
that there are about 33,000
and that every year these bakeries
produce 6 billion baguettes.
And let's talk about these baguettes
which I think is one of the
best inventions on the planet.
Why?
Because they are the perfect
size for dipping in coffee.
And of course, I also love the
incredible selection of pastries
and pastries that we have in France
the chouquettes, the croissants,
raisin bread, eclairs,
Paris-Brest, macarons,
mille-feuille, Saint Honoré,
lemon tarts, crème brûlée,
chocolate mousse, mont-blancs,
strawberry charlotte
I haven't traveled all over
the world, but so far
I haven't found anything better.
What I also love about France
is the vacation culture.
And I know that here we are quite lucky for that. In France,
if you have an employment contract,
you are entitled to five weeks
of paid vacation per year.
When they go to school, children
also have the right to a vacation.
And the funny thing is,
is that the rhythm of school vacations is
very much linked to the
life of the country.
I'll try to explain this
in a little more detail.
At school, every six weeks,
the children have about 1
to 2 weeks of vacation.
They have a week's vacation at the end of
October is the All Saints' Day vacation.
They have two weeks of
vacation at Christmas
and for the New Year, it's
the Christmas vacations.
They have two weeks of vacation
in February, the winter vacations
and they also have two weeks of
vacation in April, the spring break
and from the beginning of July, they
also have two months of vacation.
This is what we call the big vacations.
And of course, vacation departures
of adults are connected to
children's vacations.
Therefore, to avoid traffic
jams when leaving on vacation,
the different regions of France have been
classified into three zones A, B and C.
And each zone has its own vacation dates.
It allows to shift the weeks
of vacations and therefore there
are fewer people on the roads.
So the vacations in France,
is something that is
very very present in the culture.
We even have specific
vocabulary words for that.
For example, the juilletistes,
are people who go on
vacation in July and the aoutiens,
are the people who go
on vacation in August.
Something to know if you
come to France on vacation
in August, everyone is on vacation
the first two weeks of August.
So you will find a lot of
shops, restaurants completely closed.
And besides, during these first two
weeks in August, there are
many businesses that close
completely, so employees are
forced to go on vacation.
So really, during these first two
weeks of August, it is as
if the whole country was
on break and that's good for everyone.
Thank you all for watching this video.
I hope you have learned some useful
things about French culture.
If there are other things that you
noticed when you came to
France on vacation, tell me
in the comments and I'll see you very soon.
