10 French culture shock moments | American living in France
Let's talk about France culture shock! It's real! Oxford languages describes culture shock as “the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes.” Every country around the world has its own way of doing things and France is no exception. These cultural differences in France might make you fall in love with France, laugh, cry, throw your hands up in exasperation or leave you scratching your head. It’s all part of the process as you discover a new culture and adapt. Many might also apply to other areas in Europe, not just France. Let's get into the 10 biggest culture shocks I discovered after moving to France and living abroad for years now. Let me know if you've noticed any of them while traveling in France!
