FRENCH VS AMERICAN FAUX PAS | 3 Sensitive Topics to AVOID as an expat in France or the USA
Its hard enough learning to speak another language, let alone accidentally dropping a faux pas bomb at dinner and not even realizing it's a sensitive topic! Today's video explores three topics in France and the US that are considered a faux pas in one country, but not the other! As an Americans expat for 9 years in France, i know how hard it is to wonder what are the do's and don't of the French culture and what to say and not to say. It's not always easy to decode French manners and etiquette.
While this video touches on three sensitive topics that can be a French faux pas or an American faux pas, but I know there are a lot more out there! So don't forget to share your own French or American faux pas or insights in the comments!

16 Things You Should Know About FlixBus in Europe
We're talking Flixbus in Europe! Flixbus = cheap bus in Europe. If you're looking to travel within Europe on a budget, we hope you'll watch our Flixbus tips.
This summer, we hopped on FlixBus 8 times during our European trip. Before we left, we had some questions. Could we upload videos on their free WiFi? Would we be able to bring our laptop backpacks on the bus or would it need to be stowed below? We wondered about lots of things but we couldn't find much information about the reality...just the official company website stuff.
Today, we cover 16 things we wish we knew about FlixBus in less than 10 minutes.
Have you taken FlixBus or another inexpensive option? We'd love to hear about it in the comments. Do you have questions we can answer? Ask away!
Know anyone who's heading to Europe and isn't a Rockefeller? Please share. Many thanks!

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Shuttle Service To and From Gare de Lyon
Marine Steve and I usually schlep into Paris from Charles de Gaulle Airport on the RER. Since the destination today was Gare Austerlitz, directly across the Seine from Gare de Lyon, we took Les Cars Air France Line #4 which leaves outside baggage claim and stops at Gare de Lyon; Line #4 final destination Montparnasse.
More expensive than the RER, it was easier than changing from RER to Metro stopping at Gare Austerlitz. There is always a taxi, shared shuttles, etc.

RER B - Paris Charles de Gaulle to Paris Gare du Nord (Train in Paris)
Train from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Paris
Taking the train from Paris Charles De Gaulle to the city is fairly easy, inexpensive, and speedy. Here's my guide to Charles de Gaulle Airport train transfers.
In this video, I transfer from CDG Terminal 1 to the main rail hub - and then on Paris. If you are coming from Terminal 3 you do not need to take the shuttle which is in the first part of the video. If you are coming Terminal 2, you can walk to the train station and then take RER B into Paris.
The regional train system line RER B transports thousands of people daily between Paris and the Charles De Gaulle Airport. I hope you have fun watching - and taking the train into Paris!

How to Use Transportation in Paris
Metro, bus, RER... not easy to understand how the transportation system works the first time you come to Paris! Here is a short guide to help you master public transportation.
How To Use The Metro in Paris & Best Apps for Paris Metro Map
How to Use the Metro in Paris: Follow me around the city as I explain exactly how to use the Paris metro system - how to identify a metro station, how to buy Paris metro tickets, how to read the Paris Metro Map, navigate the Paris metro stations and get to where you need to go!
Using The Paris Metro is a great way to discover Paris. When you visit Paris is a good idea to learn how to use the metro (subway). With its 301 stations, the Paris Metro is one of the most extensive underground transportation systems in the world.

There are over 300 stations being serviced by 16 Metro lines, so exploring the city underground is super easy!
Most lines run from 5.30am to 12.30am Monday – Friday, with weekends keeping lines running until 2.15am. Departure times of the first and last trains differ with each station during these times. But if in doubt, there is a chart on the wall of every station (either at the station entrance or on the platform) listing the departure times for both the first and last trains leaving that particular station.
Insider Tip: the RER trains look similar to the Metro, but it is actually a different train system. If you decide to travel further into France from Paris, then this would likely be via the RER trains meaning your Paris metro tickets won't do. But if staying inside Paris only, it’s the Metro you want. The Metro stations will either have a large M over the entrance, or be called Metro or Métropolitain.
When it comes to the Metro, the lines are all colour-coded and numbered, keeping things nice and simple. Each line travels in two separate directions, which is indicated by the start and end stations on each line. For instance, when looking from left to right on the Metro map, line 1 starts in La Défense and ends in Château de Vincennes.
There are also some stations that serve more than one line, whereas some stations serve just one Metro line only. On the map, it’s super easy to spot those stations operating on more than one line, as they show a white circle or oval shape across all of the lines running through that station.
Still wondering how to get around in Paris? Using the Paris Metro system need not be stressful - Citymapper Paris and Paris Metro are two great apps to have in your pocket.

Arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 1 - Airport information - Air Travel Video
We are arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 1. We have just arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) on a flight from Copenhagen, Denmark (an EU country). In this Airport video Vlog the viewers follows us (Maxi and Maro) as we disembark our aircraft and make our way through Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).
Viewers are given a POV real time view of what it is like to arrive at this airport as we make our way to the Baggage Reclaim area. As we are arriving in France from another European country we do not have to pass through Immigration /Passport Control (If you were arriving from a non-EU country you would automatically have to pass through Immigration / Passport Control. After following the airport arrival and Baggage Reclaim signs we quickly arrive at the Baggage Belts, where the luggage rather quickly begins to be uploaded. From this point we once again begin making our way towards the Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 1 Arrivals Area. Before exiting we pass through the Customs control. We pass through the green lane as we have nothing to declare. We then begin making our way to the Taxi Station as we have chosen to take a taxi into central Paris. Along the way we also pass the Airport Bus turn off, and see the Money Exchange Bureau close to the Car Hire / Car Rental agencies. There is even a Marks and Spencer Food Store for those who need a few snacks. Before we make our way to our taxi we show viewers the price of a taxi from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) Terminal 1 to the Paris City center.
Wiki writes about Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (French: Aéroport de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, IATA: CDG, ICAO: LFPG), also known as Roissy Airport (name of the local district), is the largest international airport in France and the second largest in Europe... Charles de Gaulle Airport serves as the principal hub for Air France and other legacy carriers (from Star Alliance, Oneworld and SkyTeam), as well as a focus city for low-cost carriers easyJet, Vueling, and Norwegian Air Shuttle... Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport covers 32.38 square kilometres (12.50 sq mi) of land. The airport area, including terminals and runways, spans over three départements and six communes:

How to get to Giverny from Paris by train
#DISTANTLANDS #daytripparis #Giverny
One of the most iconic images of Impressionist art is Claude Monet’s Water Lilies series. You can see some of the famous paintings in the Orangerie Museum in Paris, but why not visit the actual gardens that inspired the paintings? Monet’s House and Gardens in Giverny are an easy and pleasant day trip from Paris.
The village of Giverny is nestled in the Normandy countryside, about 50 miles northwest of Paris. The easiest way to get there is by train, and the journey takes a little over an hour – 45 minutes on the train to Vernon, and another 20 minutes for the shuttle to Giverny.
