When lockdowns were coming to an end, there was an influx of people asking travel related questions on r/france. Something I wish existed at that time was a francophone equivalent to r/VisitingIceland, which is an incredible resource and community when it comes to making your travel plans to Iceland.
Thus, I created !visitingfrance@jlai.lu 😊
This is a lemmy community for all your questions about visiting France and its beautiful regions. How to get there, what to see, what to do, where to stay, how to get around, and everything else relevant to your trip in France. Experienced travelers are welcome to share their experiences.
French snobbery is mostly a Parisian thing, if not a stereotype, I’d say most french people would agree with that statement : Paris is not France, and you’d be surprised how welcoming French people are in other regions!
I’m sure the francophone members of the jlai.lu instance will be happy to help, I know I will 💙🤍❤️
I had a French co-worker for a while. His opinion on Paris was that the rest of France would divorce them if it was possible.
I visited Paris some years back, tried to speak in my terrible tourist French whenever possible, and never found a hint of snobbery. I kinda get the impression that visitors with an attitude or who treat the city like an amusement park get the worst of the ‘snobbery.’
