When American friends ask, “How’s life in France?” I have to be honest. I find there are some very odd things in France.
Odd Things in France
When you first arrive in France, you might be greeted with unexpected kisses on the cheek. If you think the kiss on the cheek, orย “Bise” greeting, is odd, they’re just being French and friendly! As an ex-pat in France, believe me, there are things you run into daily that are much different from what you’d expect. Here are just a few.ย

ย Yes, there are odd things in France.
What might seem odd to outsiders may be a cherished part of the culture and history. I’m learning to appreciate the differences in France.ย
That’s why I love it!
