I am American, and I just spent 12 days in France, and I must say there was nothing better than being able to sit in a cafe and draw in my sketch pad without any expectations, no deadlines. For once in my life I could finally enjoy a simple moment. I will treasure my memories from this trip for the rest of my life.

I’m in SC and we just survived the hurricane, I had to slow down because we didn’t have power for 9 days and I was lugging water from my pond to flush my toilet! ( that wasn’t relaxing) but I got to know my neighbors more and had deep conversations with people at the laundry mat, one of the places that had power. We were all so grateful and happy to be able to wash our clothes:). Hardly anyone had the internet so the laundry mat was like going back in time, women reading romance novels instead of on their phones:). I felt more connect with those people in the short period of time it took to do a load. It’s hard here in America because we all have to work our butts off, whether you live in a small house or a large one……it’s all the same. I wouldn’t wish the hurricane again especially because so many died but it did kind of shake us out of our own lives or going none stop.

[@eugenianoskova]

Alice, merci beaucoup! I'm very fascinated with the French way of life, to enjoy the life itself and the simple things around you. Greetings from Germany 😊❤

I loved my vacation in Paris this past March. It was glorious. I love my life in California, but Paris was rich and beautiful, loving the customs. Eating slowly at a cafe and just “being” was so refreshing.

[@BeatrizRobinson]

Alice, That is truly a quality life!!! Your apartment is beautiful!!! I love how feminine and elegant you live. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Greetings from U.S.A.

[@rhondagoodman9993]

I love your videos and seeing your beautiful apartment. Thanks to your helpful tips, I have upgraded my fall/winter wardrobe and purchased two pairs of ballet flats, one in navy and one in black. It makes me feel happy when I know I am dressed nicely.

Yes, your perspective about dialogue in American culture in relation to small talk is quite accurate. However, small talk in French culture is not common. As an american expat living in France, I am in total agreement with your analogy. I am still a work in progress in terms of my confidence in speaking about various interesting topics that you mentioned in this video with french people.French culture is incredible. As a result I have changed immensely as an American living in France. This video was amazing.😊😊😊😊😊

[@drnicolebeaumont7884]

This was one of your best videos. I loved it. Thank you. I am sure I will watch this more than once. Thanks 🎉🇦🇺❤️

I appreciated your mentioning investing in culture. So important!

[@robynwells8249]

I enjoy designating Sunday as a reading day.

[@marticooper4468]

Great video❤️ Some of my favorite times in Paris, Madrid, Barcelona & Rome are due to cafe life & les terrasses. LOVE sitting there for hours with a glass of wine people watching. It’s where I’ve gotten many great outfit ideas!

[@shinigawa4582]

Merci Alice! I love, 💗 love, 💗 love 💗 your videos! So beautifully presented, informative, and inspiring!

A lot of these lifestyle activities are urban ones, like walking or taking public transportation to cafes, museums, flower shops, book shops, markets, etc. I had to move to the ‘burbs when I got married and I miss these things. I need to drive, find parking, etc., for every errand here in the suburbs, we don’t have local public transit, just commute options to and from the city. I’m hoping to move back to The City (San Francisco), again soon to resume this lifestyle. Plus, it’s much cooler there, it’s been 40C+ where I live for 10 days now, even though I’m only ten mikes north. I’m not fond of hot weather, and we have definite microclimates here, controlled by the ocean, bay and mountains. It’s not unusual for SF to be 20F cooler than my location.

Lovely, thank you.

I appreciate the idea of living more infill but without chasing money I wouldn’t be able to buy the flowers, or the house to put the flowers in, I wouldn’t be able to buy the ticket to the museum by the nice food or even the book to read.

[@jessicaulrich-lee5100]

I think it’s an interesting comparison between conversational styles between American and French. But at the root of it is educational. The French are taught in school how to debate and have conversations about current affairs. It’s built into the lycée curriculum and the Bac. The US doesn’t have those things in their high school curriculum. This cultural-educational distinction is very different and interesting. 🤔

[@79FiFi]

Love this video 💖

[@lorymontresor1551]

Very interesting video 💜

[@southernbelle7295]

I always wondered how people can afford living in Paris if they enjoy sitting in the cafe all day long😀😊 I, of course, enjoyed being in Paris , but I was on vacation. Here in the US all we do is work work and work, always in a rush. Gotta to have money for food , roof over your head , etc🌹🌸🌸🌸

[@KimberlyPerrotis]

May I ask where your beautiful dark brown loafers here are from? Thanks, Alice🙂
