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.
Looks great!
Thanks!
One day I need to visit but I’m scared about not knowing French. I’ll need to practice a lot first. I also have no idea how to do the r’s lol.
Is the community going to be nice to English speaking people or are they going to pull the usual French snobbery?
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 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.’
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.
You’d have more chance of winning if you bet on the latter, I’ll say that much.
Who would ever want to voluntarily visit fr*nce 🤮🤮
/s
Why are you exposing my scam ? 🤡
Don’t get it. Just drive over there, it’s not that there’s a border of some sorts. About 2 hours on the Autobahn from here (no speed limit btw, could crank my shit box to 166mph if I want it to die soon)
