Three Endearing French Customs, According to an American Expat

An American woman living in Marseille, France, recently shared her observations about charming French cultural nuances. In a short video that has garnered significant attention online, she highlights three common practices she finds endearing. "The word 'hop' is used as a filler word, like 'um' or 'uh' in English," she explains. "It's so cute!" she adds. She also notes the widespread use of 'bon appétit,' a phrase far more common in France than its American counterparts. Finally, she contrasts the French use of 'voilà' with the less frequent use of similar expressions in the US. Her lighthearted video provides a charming look at the small cultural differences that make France unique.
