French culture is really on another level compared to American culture.....their health system is much better, no stress in France they really care about taking the time to live, eat, relax , work, have fun, ..... in a country which is absolutely magnificent, there is everything in France, mountains, plains, lakes, the sea, the ocean, forests, rivers, rivers, arid areas, humid areas, a temperate climate, snow...all within one or two hours of driving! and French history is absolutely incredible...thousands of years of history that the French are steeped in...here in France, even the stones speak to you!
Merci pour tous ces compliments sur la culture Francaise...mais on ne pas comparer notre culture historique avec celle de l Amérique ..car c est un jeune pays (historiquement parlant)...en comparaison avec l Europe....et nôtre culture c est celle aussi des américains ..j ai l impression que beaucoup d Américains (issus de l' émigration) l ont oublié..❤
Please, dont praise our shitty health system which is a nail in our coffin
@@prouvencau6343 ....I went to the emergency room two months ago for a simple small accident....I was presented with a bill for 10,000 dollars.....are you ready to experience this in France? think twice....
@@prouvencau6343 .....I forgot to tell you that I have recently been living permanently in France and I understand perfectly what a health system is and how much I like the French system.
@@gandigooglegandigoogle7202 yeah, 500€ kept on your salary + an health insurance, so effective !
And French people cant heal their teeth or eyes , so great !
I’m Welsh, but I can see that living in France would be great - France is a beautiful country and French people are amazing. Just my personal opinion…
Weird, i'm french and i love france but not french people haha😂
@@user-kp8qx2jx2o I was going to write the same thing (and in fact, I do). France is a pretty country, the French have a certain "historical" talent for creating rural or urban landscapes that are particularly pleasing to the eye (but we don't know how to make the transition zones between the city and the countryside, they are always ugly). We have been able to preserve pleasant traditions such as café terraces, bakeries and "small businesses" in the city center and we have a capital of social rights which, even if it is reduced year after year by our governments, remains enviable.
But in recent years, hatred has set in between the French. They hate each other more and more based on their age, their gender, their sexual orientation, their economic situation, their origin... and it becomes very difficult to live with. There is no longer anything that creates consensus in France and it is even becoming impossible to find compromises. Obviously, the French can no longer stand each other and it's becoming scary.
@@mfcq4987 I had no idea about any of this. All my experience with French people has been at university in Wales and with French people in the gym I used to go to - that’s only about two dozen people, plus there used to be a travelling French farmers market that would come once a year to a village local to my area where you could buy freshly made that morning food items from the venders (who were mostly very cheerful, as I recall)
It’s sad to read what you wrote
@@richardpoynton4026 I hope it's not the same in Wales, but I feel like Brexit has created some raw divides in the UK. The same thing is happening in France as in the USA I believe, an increasingly polarized society where some feel threatened by others, which creates a threat of civil war as in the recently released film.
On a daily basis, this is not yet really experienced because everyone lives and interacts mainly with people from the same background (family, friends, work colleagues, etc.), but we are increasingly confronted with uninhibited hate speech in the media and especially on social networks. The proof is that there is a comment (in French) under this video where an average French person writes that this American couple is a bourgeois couple disconnected from French reality because they do not live in "territories" invaded by " immigrant and Islamized scum.” Obviously he neither (the vote for the extreme right is the lowest in these neighborhoods), but he takes the liberty of writing this publicly, which would have been impossible around 15 years ago!
@@richardpoynton4026 Just like in the UK: problems started with massive uncontrolled immigrants from Africa who not only don't want to integrate but also want to impose their religion...
A certain number of French people leave to look elsewhere for what they cannot find at home, a certain number of foreigners come to France to experience what they cannot experience at home. I also think that there is no 'perfect' country, but rather a country that suits us according to our needs (if we know how to properly inform ourselves about what to do to adapt to where we plan to go ).
I am French, I was able to experience a 10th of other countries and I found my partner in China, to finally choose to settle permanently in France. We all pray that everyone can find the home they are looking for.
And french Always back to France for médical security/ health care and for the security when you loose your job or when you're old.
France 1980-2020 was probably the best country in the world to live in. Unless youre very rich cause you would lose too much money in taxes
But unfortunatly Macron is ruining the country by lowering-deleting the many benefits/advantages/quality of life perks french fought to have
So if in 2024 youre planning to go to france. You need to keep in mind that politicaly they are deleting/lowering the social benefits
@@mathewvanostin7118 Macron plays his role, he too must answer to his bosses, those who run France. Thieves, rapists, racists, pedophiles but who have a well-stocked bank account. Macron is just a pawn like the others, that will never change, all the media belong to them, they can manipulate us, turn us against each other while they live the good life. they know how to take care of us
You couldn't have said it better. So apt 👌
In France we don't say "I have a dream" because we say "J'ai un rêve"
Hahaha
Main point (5.30): "in France I pay more taxes and I love it because it means more stability for us and the rest of society, and it's not such a high price to pay".
Spot on !
It's undoubtedly hard to hear, but this family has found a life in France other than those offered in the USA.
Oh yes ! America is not the wonderful country that is stuffed into your head from the moment you are born.
Other countries (not just France) are nice for people who work to live but don't want to live to work.
The American dream was in the fifties, it disappeared at that time.
The "American dream" started to die in the 70's when free (but state regulated) capaitalism was slowly being phased out and replaced by unregulated capitalism, anarchy resulting in communism's evil twin, private owned monoplies killing the free market and placing all the wealth and power in very few pockets. Modern US capitalism is communism in effect, but wrapped and stamped with a different logo that proudly states that "Slavery is freedom". Or as they said in Germany, Arbeit macht frei... but it doesn't. For every year you work prices keep rising, while your wages stand still. It's a scam.
"for people who work to live but don't want to live to work." Nicely said !! 👌
As a french guy i spent 4 years of my life in the US. Split between Columbus Ohio & Nashville TN for work. There's a quote that says "The grass is greener in your neighbor's yard". I was able to find things i was looking for that i couldn't find in France. But again, my company was french so i could still hold on to our healthcare system and a few more things. I don't know if i would have had the same experience without it. If you spend your entire life in a place all you can see are the bad things but for brand news eyes it's clearly great.
I watched some of their videos, it's always useful to see how foreigners see your country, they have a daughter who seems to be 12 or 14 years old and who goes to school in France and who in a month or two seems to be be perfectly adapted which is not so easy.
These people love to eat, to cook, and it is also true that if food is important to you, France is the country of gastronomy par excellence.
Now these are people of 40 or 50 years old and they already have a relatively long life behind them, these are the ages where you start to slow down a little and ask yourself the real questions about life (an age where you start to understand that you are not immortal).
The vision of a young man or woman of 20 must be very different.
But they seem very happy, while their dreams continue as long as possible.
USA ? I'm not going back. I love France.
I’m French and I approve this message.You’re the very welcome to France,Friend.✌🏻🇫🇷🤝🇺🇸
Thanks, we wish we had more immigrants like you!
I've made a very long trip in USA. 2 month all around the country.
SF / LA / Hawai / San Diego / Las Vegas / Dallas / New Orleans / Miami / Key West / Orlondo / Rochester / Washington / New York. And many places betwenn.
It was a great trip. It's still in my memory 30 years later. But ! The food was my problem in the US. I was happy to make a "détour" in Mexixo and Canada during this trip. Just for food ^^.
I have to say, but America is like a 3rd world country compared to European countries
Now that you say it that way, yes you are right, Usa is also more and more becoming like Russia in the way the higher ups treat their people.
I'm french and i follow their channel. They post really insteresting videos.
de même, en plus ils ont eu la brillante idée de s'installer en Dordogne.
A reminder from a french :
Never forget though that all over the world, we celebrate the 1st of may because some workers in Chicago were assassinated for wanting 8h/day instead of 12+ and for wanting the end of child labor. You too, have a long and rich history of people who fought for your rights.
The IWW used to be one of the strongest union in the world (along with the spanish CNT). I guess we got "lucky" after WW2, the european countries were half destroyed, and the people in charge had no choice but to accepts certain conditions and rights for the people, rights that are being reconsidered as we speak. (though the colonial era that is still ongoing under post colonialism, is not at all talk about publicly nor does it appear in school's history books, it's another topic but very very important and explains a lot)
And I know I'm gonna sound real french saying it, but all those rights, they're not engraved in stone, people fought for them, and people are still fighting for them as different governement are attacking our social rights that we are slowly losing.
Less and less things are being refunded by the healthcare system, everything is done to privatise it (based on the US model), same for schools, and hospitals, and there used to be a time where you'd get 90% of you salary when unemployed, now its 56%.
Same for retirement, we used to have retirement at 60, now its pushed back to 62 (at least). more and more people are having a hard time just getting food on their plates. the inequality between rich and poor is getting bigger and bigger, I know compared to the US it seems like nothing. But that's how it starts, they start little by little and they started in the 80's. the repression against anyone who fight for our social rights is also harsher, (as you might have notice) we're experiencing what you got with Reagan in the US, or Tatcher in the UK I guess, or something similar.
Let's keep France, this loving country.
All countries fight for your rights, and unite
Loving country ?
LMao yeah must be everyday a "luck for France" backstab a child or a women i guess it's a loving country
I don't know why but I see many american and korean come live in France these last years. After there's no dream country, each country get his lifestyle and some people will like more this lifestyle than another.
France is turning into a very sulfuric place since more than 40 years. soon or later it 'll explode.
Civilian war threatening. (more of a slaughter, since only one side is ready for it).
Anti-white crimes are growing faster than ever. Believe it or not, of course it's a huge taboo, foreigners must not know about.... Medias and politics you know.
They'll change their minds one day or another.
They go to Europe coz they don’t know in the UK people speak English
@@darkmatter6714 Not everyone think the UK is the best.
They are great but maybe it's because scotland and northen ireland is still with them : )
PS:it's a joke, i'm french so i'm allowed to mock english, it's tradition ^^
@@Eldiran1 Yes, France and UK have always been fighting and annoying each other, like little brothers and sisters do, but at the end of the day they are in the same family
@@darkmatter6714 We are a single family, but never forget that France is the big brother.
Look at the channel oui in france: an american woman married to a french guy, speaking about différents aspects of living in France.
You should also know that France is not Emily in Paris. Sometimes things are difficult and homesickness will be felt. And above all, there are the French and that's not the least of the difficulties lol. I saw some of their videos. They live in a small village in the southwest which seems really quiet. It looks like a postcard. But, big metropolises are less human and really don't give the same impression. Perhaps apart from the social treatment of health, unemployment and family, the problems you encounter in the States will also be present in France (apart for school shootings). But, there is one thing that I agree with and that I often hear on videos of Americans in France. The French do not live to work, but they work to live. And any American expatriate in France will quickly realize this.
Most foreigners and immigrants in France live in the big cities, not in rural areas and their impression is basically the same as those people in the video.
Unless something bad happens, they should be able to live there a long time with the renewal or resident permit. My grand-mother lived 67 years in France with her 'carte de séjour'.
I think each has their own dream in life and you don't always find it in the country you live in.
Very true.
Thanks ! Continue your good work
I really appreciate that you don't have the so usual 'the US are the best country in the world' mindset. That's an honest reaction, and thanks for that
France doesnt have a dream but
« An art of living », Italy has the « sweet life »…
France actually does have a dream "The French dream" but it doesn't make anyone dream lmao
The best think when you live abroad is that you stop watching the news. So try that before moving out, give it a try really.
We say : happy like god in France.
America is a developing 3rd world country on european standards.
"I have a dream" is just about not being so racist.
The american dream does not exist anymore. The usa as a finn used to be EXTEMELY cheap. Not anymore. Expensive af.
Half of the people in the us don't afford proper housing anymore. It uswd to be a HUGE house and like 3 cars.
And it's bot bernie. It's the right-wing movement
the american dream in like the 50s 60s used to be that just the husband worked in a middle class job and they had a huge house and huge family and several cars and all of that shit. AND had money over.
that quite literally does not exist anymore.
donald trump tries to be like some african dictator in every way. hopefully he will go to jail before he becomes president again.
As a French (who moved to Canada but still have all my family in France) this also used to be possible in France after the WWs. Maybe not as much as in the US (money wise), but this also is a thing of the past in France. It is not that easy to make it.
HOWEVER, I agree that I’d rather live paycheque to paycheque anywhere in europe than in the US lol
Me a French citizen have lived in Florida for two years some years ago and I have to say it Wes the biggest mistake I have ever made to live in that capitalist inhuman dictatorship which is called United States of America( not United they are so definitely divided 🤣😂). And our belle France is definitely the paradise on earth compared to hell hole that is USA. The day I came back home to France I felt the real freedom real feeling of equality a soul deep happiness and assurance of leading a healthier full life.
Don't be so arrogant, please, and give the French a bad name, which they sometimes have abroad!. Every country has something to offer.
N'importe quoi, cet abruti ne sait pas ce qu'est devenu la France... c'est devenu un coupe gorge et un pays ou les travailleurs travaillent pour des bons à rien d'assistés qui nous crachent à la gueule 😂 L'enfer sur terre!
C'est ironique ?
Living in france for an american can be interesting if you can buy immediatly a good modern house in france and if you have a good job of middle or senior manager with full time job.
You will have no rental , enough money to pay the taxs , no problem for retirement or healthcare for your family ( private health insurance are cheap ) , no problem to pay universities because it 's free or not expensive in private school.
if you come without money , you won't be able to buy a flat or a house and if you work for a basic job , you will be disapointed and sad. Basic wage in france is low ( net salary = 1400 euros net by month for 35 hours per week, gross salaray = 1750 euros) . Without diploma you will have few opportunities to win more money or may be if you have you own private job .
It's also a four-year visa; she shows you a video excerpt from one year before this actual video. They are in France for two years.
Personally, I was moved by y the testimony of a black soldier, on American television after the war .
he declared that he would love France forever, because he had been invited by a French peasant to taste a glass of Calvados on his farm.
Against a backdrop of racism in the American army on the l French ground in 1944 (see: "ok Joe!" by Louis Guilloux, Breton writer)
I m french i subscribed to their channel 2 days ago, come here bruv france is fire
Hi there ! Nice and open-minded reaction on your part ;) I'm french and I definitely understand their point and prefer french (or even generally european) way of life than US's. BUT, I know that the reverse experience is true as well : it's not difficult to see TV documentaries about french people who went to the USA to find their dreamland and stayed in the US because they managed to thrive there. MAinly, administration and business creation is generally much more clumbersome and tedious in france because there are way more regulations to submit to and respect, so it is very protective on an employee point of view but can be restrictive and stressfull on an employer or self-entrepreneur point of view.
If I may summarize : in France you'll find stability and a good lifestyle when in the US you'll find flexibility and business opportunities.
My personnal thought about it is that France could get a little from the US to be more business-friendly and the US could take some of France's "art de vivre", but it's okay if France remains France and the US remains the US because it's not a bad thing that every nation has their own thing and "personnality" ;)
before the internet i think people saw america the way america wanted to be seen... and lots of people thought it was an amazing place and would happily move there from europe....
then the internet happened and the mirror cracked from side to side, showing what really goes on there...
now id say 99% of europeans wouldnt even go on holiday there let alone move there... europe has too much to offer compared to america.
you are 100% right : europe also offers war(s).

It is great that Americans find happiness and a better life in other countries, but what would be amazing is if they self reflect from it. Think about how you feel when immigrants move into Usa, i have heard that so many hate it and racism rise that way. But if an American move to another country no one should hold any grudge right? My point is you Americans move into other countries just like others move into America, so just be ok with it and accept it, don't create hate because of immigrants. Everyone can coexist.
But I can say for France that if you had your visa for seven years (I think it is the same for Finland but not 100% sure), you can get a 100% sure unlimited stay.
I have mine from Luxembourg wich says "Attestation de séjour Permanent"... nothing/nobody can take this away from me (even prison... not that I mean to hehe :))
I am a French man living in France. While I can't discourage you from having an idealized view of France, it's important to acknowledge that we have our own issues with violence, social inequality, and interpersonal tensions. However, despite these challenges, the overall quality of life here remains good.
It is all about of choice ! USA is also a very good country to live in. I am from EU and will not move away, but I do not like saying one or other county is better to live or not. Every country has + and - ! Be happy and our planet is for all of us
I’ve lived in USA and it’s a country with crazy ignorant racist people and it’s also capitalist inhuman dictatorship. You never feel safe there expensive as hell and food is unhealthy and drenched in chemicals and if you fall very sick and don’t have millions of dollars you are definitely condemned to death. So yes everywhere else in the world is paradise compared to the hell named US of A . As for France it’s thousands times better than that hell
Sorry, by the way, I love your videos !
American dream ? What American dream ? My ex wife had a medical emergency on Friday. Surgery on Saturday. Back home on Sunday. On post-op care now. Cost ? 2.5 euros ! Yes, two point fifty.
Lots of Americans settling in Europe these days ...
In the USA, if you are sick without medical coverage, you might as well say that you are screwed.
Here in France, care is mostly FREE, thanks to taxes (Why do you think the English come to get treatment in France? Well, that was before Brexit..)
And even without a job, you have medical coverage(free): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couverture_maladie_universelle
Concerning studies, in the USA, you pay for the rest of your life, to repay them. In France, students especially struggle to find accommodation
I am a permanent Citizen now for the rest of my life :)
Why did you choose Finland did you had a job i Finland before you moved??? so why Finland
In a legal way, you can t buy firearms in France, except if you do it in club or for hunting. And only for the day you practicing
What really amazes me beyond safery, healthcare, education a'd housing, is that most Americans love living in France because of our ''slow living'' lifestyle. We just call it living. This says way more about the distopian nightmare the US is than about France. And that's sad to see the richest country on earth treats its citizens so poorly. I spent 2 years in thé US and so many things felt liké a massive downgrade
If what she describes in the beginning to be the American Dream, I pity everyone dreaming of this cos that's basically normal life everywhere in Europe. The vast majority of Europeans don't have to dream about this.
Americans are always bragging about the opportunities but how many are effectively able to take them?
I wish that family: bonne chance !
04:40 They are true.
If you like this kind of content, then you need to look at this US family that move to Denmark in 2018: www.youtube.com/@TravelinYoung
They stated out with the Dad's work visa and don't want to get back to the US, even if there has been many ups and down and they almost gave up and wanted to move back to the US. Look at their story...
Ok, you and the couple in the video is the immigrants that we like. But granted they are in France and you in Finland... two different things. You all have a visa for the "schengen zone" (saying it wrong for a purpose).
Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland (even switzerland wich is by no means in the EU... in europe geographic yes but not in the euro zone).
And you probably now by being from finland they have the "euro", denmark don't etc. Norway is in europe but not in the euro zone etc
Is it compulsery to wear a predictable "usa "toddler sweater , is this so bizarly normal for him and many others.... hilarious in a whole spate of respects really.
"Tacos are not the same" ... Well duh.. How many km is Mexico from France?
"French Tacos" have nothing to do with Mexican taco. It's not the same recipe at all. The name French Tacos always has an S at the end. It is said and written, a French Tacos. In France there are also real Mexican tacos, but it’s not the same thing. The inventor of French tacos named it so with humor in haste. He invented it on the spot with a special order. Since then, the name has remained. ;-)

Being black in France is safer than a white in Africa
@@siorac69 That doesnt mean much. Being Black in France is also safer then being Black in some African countries.
However, it is kind of weird how white people can talk about visiting Africa and not experiencing racism. Heck even get shown love and even preferential treatment (Not South Africa, it has apartheid history. Nor any other country that has similar "history"). But Black people will get treated rather poorly in France just for existing.
Heck, anyone who doesnt have a French name can experience workplace discrimination in France.
@@FrostbitexP I lived in Africa 2 years. I saw & met white people experience racism as well & racial stereotypes.
Can't see the one who doesn't want to see.
Racism is everywhere & not a white invention (which would be racist).

A mon avis, ils ont suffisamment d'argent pour vivre dans un coin tranquille de France, où certaines "populations invasives", pratiquant une certaine religion dite "de paix et d'amour", n'ont pas encore essaimé... Ce n'est malheureusement pas le cas de la majorité des Français...Ce couple de riches bourgeois US est complétement déconnecté de la réalité...
