My 10 tips to be Parisian


LEARN TO NAVIGATE THE METRO LIKE A PRO

Paris has one of the most extensive and complex metro networks in the world. To feel like a Parisian, familiarize yourself with the lines and connections. Download a metro app to avoid looking lost and find out quickly which line to take to your destination. Knowing tricks like the secret corridors between certain stations can also make you a real insider.


This is one of the tips I give in my English-language show in Paris, Oh my God she's Parisian! If you want to survive in Paris, you'd better know how to take the metro and fight!


PRACTICE PARISIAN POLITENESS


When you arrive at a café or restaurant, always say "Bonjour" before ordering. Politeness is highly appreciated and an integral part of Parisian life. Even if Parisians can sometimes seem rushed or a little cold, a little touch of courtesy can make all the difference (and don't get formal if the waiter doesn't respond to your "bonjour" - it's normal!).


DON'T FORGET TO SAY "PUTAIN" AT LEAST 10 TIMES A DAY!


I will let you look at what it means in the Dictionary!

That speaks for itself! But in my show in English, I explain all the secrets of this "catch-all" word, which ranges from the very negative to the very positive!


ENjoy a COFFEE ON A TERRACE


A true Parisian experience includes having a coffee on a terrace, even in winter thanks to outdoor heaters (which are forbidden, but hey. This is Paris, so it's not always respected!)... Watch the passers-by, read a book, or chat with a friend while enjoying the unique atmosphere of Parisian cafés and the fake bad mood of the waiters (even if sometimes they really are in a bad mood!).


In my first stand-up show in English, I had a sketch about the bad-tempered waiter (I imitated a waiter at the Café de Flore!) who told the worst-dressed people to go and sit in the last row so they'd be seen less!


SHOP AT a Paris MARKET


To live like a true Parisian, shop at local markets rather than supermarkets. The Bastille, Aligre or Enfants Rouges markets are perfect for buying fresh produce and meeting local shopkeepers. It's also a great way to discover regional and seasonal produce, and of course, don't forget to criticize a little by saying "it's way too expensive".

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN PARISIAN CULTURE


Paris is full of museums, art galleries and theaters. Enjoy temporary exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou, classics at the Louvre or shows at the Opéra Garnier. Parisians love culture, and taking part in these activities will help you fit in, and Paris has the second largest number of theaters in the world after Buenos Aires! In fact, the theater where I perform my one-man show in English is called the Bo Saint-Martin, and it's made a real name for itself on the Paris stand-up comedy scene!


EMBRACE PARISIAN FASHION


Parisian fashion is known for its chic simplicity. Invest in a few timeless basics like a sailor suit, a trench coat and a pair of elegant shoes. Parisian fashion often favors neutral colors and classic cuts. Paris fashion often favors neutral colors and classic cuts. We like long-lasting basics! In my English show, I have a very funny sketch about a typical Parisian store assistant!


TASTE FRENCH CUISINE


Explore Paris' many restaurants and bistros to sample French cuisine. Try traditional dishes such as boeuf bourguignon, escargots and crêpes. Don't forget to try viennoiseries in local bakeries, such as croissants and pains au chocolat, and please pronounce "pain au chocolat" better than Emily in Paris!


TAKE PART IN LOCAL EVENTS


Paris is a lively city with many events throughout the year. Attend festivals, Christmas markets, open-air exhibitions or free concerts. Parisians love to take advantage of the cultural and social activities available in the city.


USE THE VELIB': The funniest sketch of my show in English!

To get around like a Parisian, use the Vélib' self-service bicycles. It's an ecological and practical way to get around the city, and lets you discover Paris at your own pace. Parisians are increasingly using this mode of transport to avoid the traffic jams that are so horrible in Paris, and it's also a great way to stay active and keep your figure as a true Parisian and to run plenty of red lights (it's very bad, but it's a true Parisian thing to do), and it's a guaranteed laugh during my show in English when I explain how we spend our time giving pedestrians the right of way!


ADOPT THE PARISIAN PACE OF LIFE


Parisians like to take their time and enjoy life, as we say in France: the French work to live, not the other way around! So after work, stroll through public gardens like the Jardin du Luxembourg or the Tuileries, enjoy long summer evenings on the banks of the Seine, and learn to savor every moment. Living in Paris also means knowing how to enjoy the beauty of the city and its little daily pleasures.


And that's it! You know almost everything... and for the rest I'll leave you to discover the subtleties of Parisian life!


And finally, once you've settled down in Paname, I suggest you come and see my show in English: "Oh My God She's Parisian": the must-see show to become a true Parisian, or understanding them better!
