The Real Currency in France Isn't Money, It's This | Life in France

Living in Paris Series | How do you get things done in Paris when the French won't do you any favors? In this video, I break down something every American living in Paris needs to know — how to get the French to help you when they really do not want to. Specifically, we will focus on two skills needed to build a life in Paris: how to build rapport with strangers and how French friendships actually work. Whether you're moving to Paris or an expat navigating life in France, this is the unwritten playbook no one gives you. This builds on my last video about why money isn't a flex in Paris — because the real currency here is connection. Look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments. xoxo Adriel Instagram:   / adrielfelise   -- Shopping & Discount Codes -- Manucurist Discount Code: https://us.manucurist.com/NAILSFELISE Outfits: https://shopmy.us/adrielfelise Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/adrielfelise Skincare and Beauty: https://shopmy.us/adrielfelise Paris Guides: https://adrielfelise.gumroad.com/ -- Keeping it 100 Disclaimer -- Affiliate links may be used above.
