🍷 French Dining Etiquette: A Cultural Adventure 🇫🇷
One of our first meals in France was a lesson in cultural differences! Picture this: a cosy French bistro, delicious food, and… an awkward moment when we reached for the breadbasket before the main course arrived. 😳
In France, bread isn’t just a pre-meal snack—it’s meant to accompany the meal itself. And don’t even think about putting it on your plate! The proper place for bread? On the table next to your plate.
Oh, and let’s not forget the mysterious pace of the meal. Courses come out slowly, encouraging conversation and savoring every bite. By the time dessert arrived, we’d finally stopped glancing at the clock!

🥖 Did You Know? In France, bread isn’t just food—it’s a way of life! 🇫🇷
The French consume about 10 billion baguettes each year. That’s roughly 320 baguettes per second! 😲 No wonder every village has its own boulangerie.
Bread is so important here that there’s even a “baguette law”: it must be made with only four ingredients (flour, water, salt, and yeast), and it can’t be frozen or contain preservatives. The result? Perfectly fresh bread, every day.
When you move to France, expect your mornings to start with a trip to the boulangerie—and trust us, it’s one of the best parts of life here!
💬 What’s your go-to French bread? Baguette? Pain de campagne? Croissant? Let us know!

Moving to France means mornings like this could be your reality. 🌟

The Eiffel Tower was originally intended to be a temporary installation, set to stand for just 20 years after the 1889 World Fair. Designed by Gustave Eiffel, it faced significant criticism from Parisians who viewed it as an eyesore. However, its role in radiotelegraphy and scientific research demonstrated its utility.
By 1909, its value as a communication hub and tourist attraction saved it from demolition. Today, it stands as a symbol of engineering brilliance and Parisian culture. The Eiffel Tower, once a temporary exhibit, has become a timeless global icon.
