Жизнь во Франции: учеба, работа, семья и быт глазами русской эмигрантки в Париже

What does a girl feel when she moves to Paris at 20? Without friends, without help, even without a window in her apartment — but with the French language, which she adores, and with a dream that has been calling for a long time. Paris greets you uncomfortably — but every morning you fall in love with it again, no matter what. Yes, it’s difficult. But the delight is stronger. Studying, architecture, croissants and the first adult decisions — everything happens in the scenery of the city of dreams. This is not an escape. This is the beginning. In this video, the heroine shares her experience of living in Paris — from the very beginning of her studies and adaptation, through difficulties with banking services, transport and city safety, to building a family and motherhood. She talks about how the French education system, medicine, labor relations are structured and why the French value stability and comfort so much.

Having moved, she combined her two callings - architecture and confectionery, baked an unthinkable number of eclairs, graduated from architecture school, got married and became a mother. All this, plus a dozen more interesting stories that will certainly be useful to those who already live or are going to live in France - she shared with us to our great joy.
