French Girl Reacts to Emily in Paris

[@marthawilson4775]

One of the things I like about Emily in Paris is how older women (Sylvie et al.) are portrayed as attractive. This is something you don’t see in American films and TV shows. Sylvie’s fashion is stunning in the show; and she seems to be rubbing off on Emily, whose outfits are more sophisticated now.

[@bip5395]

This is obvious in European cinema and television though

[@messageinabottle-ASMR]

Are you sure about this? Literally every "mom" or "older lady boss" character in American TV shows is a bombshell 😅

[@BillieAndy]

​@@messageinabottle-ASMR considering 26 year old gen z girls are scrambling for tretinoin and the manosphere is trying to convince women that the wall is real and 19 is the most attractive age, I think we need to make this even more obvious

[@Tashas_Travels]

I really love Sylvie, she's funny in a way and she's gorgeous. I also love her sense of style too.

[@makisushi3720]

Same with Los Angeles. As a native Angeleno, it is seriously impacted by tens of thousands of people moving here in search of living the Hollywood dream, when so much industry here has nothing to do with the movie/tv business. Housing has been severely impacted by influencers that rent clothes, cars and even mansions, by the hour to create their fake aesthetic. There isn't any stopping it. I went to Paris and I honestly didn't get the romantic vibe at all until the very last day when I got to see the bridges lights come on at dusk. It was beautiful. I also loved staying in neighborhoods with very diverse people. It ended up being very fun.

[@grahamcooper2144]

As a Scot who's lived in Paris for 15 years I can attest that the only remotely 'real' characterisation in the show is Philippine Leroy. I know and see on a daily basis women of the same age who absolutely rock her look and attitude. The actress nailed it. Lucky me eh?

[@RobinPalmerTV]

It's pure escapism but it's lovely to see Paris captured so well as a city. It's like the city has a starring role.

Im french and I watched every season of Emily in Paris to make fun of it (I can't stand the clichés and the main characters' romance arcs) but I stayed for Sylvie ! Fist of all I love the actress and I'm so glad to see an open relationship with an older woman being represented so glamourously, I stan Sylvie and watch the show just for her lmao

[@RMaC-f1f]

Exactly why I watch. I want her to have her own show with emily in the background..... maybe 😂 she doesn't even need to be there

[@boobookittifukk]

I could only stand four eps of Emily In Paris and while I stopped watching, Sylvie was absolutely my favourite character and if they had a show that starred her, Julien and Luc, then I'd watch it in a heartbeat!

[@kovie9162]

Emily In Paris is an extremely accurate show about the daily lives and struggles of everyday Parisians--just like how Friends accurately depicts life in 1990's NYC for semi-employed people in their 20's who mostly sit around all day and do nothing, or how Mission Impossible is based on the daily lives of CIA, MI5 and DGSE agents and completely realistic and based on actual events. And if you believe that, I've got an old Parisian tower to sell you...😂 But yeah, as pure campy escapism entertainment of the high production value sort, it's quite fun.

[@kamunurkamunur3468]

Yeah. But even if Americans know that movies are just entertainment and do not accurately represent them and their lives, for some reason they still believe the information they get from Hollywood movies about other countries.

[@winter151]

The alcohol consumption in France is still very high. But the "baby bottle" reference is to the fact that in France children were served wine in schools even until 1956, then they banned it for kids under 14, meaning 14 and up could still consume it, and in 1981 they raised the age to 18. Apparently many people in France protested the ban because they believed back then that wine was good for children and their growth and development.

[@LucileHR]

Yes! I remember being legally allowed to order wine when I was 16 in 2009 :O

[@minime7375]

It’s a different drinking culture than the one in the Anglo-saxon countries though. In US, UK, Australia, people binge drink, they drink to get smashed and they drink a lot of premixed beverages. Drinking culture in Europe is different.

[@JamesKanze]

I remember that when I first lived in Paris, in the 1970s, it was usual in working class families for children from about 5 up to drink a bit of wine, mixed with a lot of water -- as they got older, the ratio of wine to water went up, until about 16, when they'd be drinking pure wine. But that was then; the wine they were drinking was "gros rouge", sold in a 1.5 litre plastic bottle (like mineral water). It's been ages since I've seen such bottles.

[@eugenmalatov5470]

Mmm tbh I watch for Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu who i only ever saw in Call My Agent! before this and i fell in love with her in that too. She's criminally underused but each season has had more. I want to see her in other films and dramas.

[@stewAC]

The way you open, pointing out the conceptual parallels between Emily in Paris and Sex in The City is so brilliant!! Having lived in both Paris and different major cities in the US, I think it's quite accurate. No one (at least in the states) ever assumes that Sex in The City is a realistic depiction of NYC. I think anyone who takes the show at face value is shallow and not well educated in general/has literally never traveled outside of a small town. Just like no one should judge Paris as a whole by this show, I hope you don't judge all Americans by the few who stick out like a(n embarrassingly) sore thumb and say rude things like the quote from Moulin Rouge! ❤ Love watching your channel!! Also, as an American, my parents did the same thing when I was younger. They would give me very small sips of wine to teach me flavor and regional knowledge. 🙂

[@kamunurkamunur3468]

Yeah. But even if Americans know that movies are just entertainment and do not accurately represent them and their lives, for some reason they still believe the information they get from Hollywood movies about other countries.

[@stewAC]

@@kamunurkamunur3468 I really shouldn't give your comment the time of day, but I just can't help it. Im laughing hysterically at you. YOU and your comment are the definition of a HYPOCRITE (and just plain stupid.) If I had a school book with a definition and then an example for the word hypocrite, you would be the example. You are grouping a population of over 333 million people with one assumption. As you stated you "do not accurately represent them and their lives, for some reason they still believe the information they get..." You're drawing a quick conclusion about ALL "Americans" as if there is some black and white formula. I could go on in an attempt to open your shallow mind, but I'll save that tiny little brain of yours the energy.

[@Ayin07]

Some Americans DID believe a SATC lifestyle was possible. Many people moved to NYC inspired by the show. Or they were convinced as young girls that women had to date like the SATC women (ex. sexual promiscuity)

[@stewAC]

@@Ayin07 I definitely do not disagree! I completely agree. I'm sure there are Americans who did! I'm also sure they weren't the only nationality to make those assumptions followed by taking those actions. What I strongly disagree and find distain in is someone who groups 333+ million people in a wide sweeping generalization, based on a citizenship, particularly when its so insulting and inaccurate. That assumption is literally hypocritical in and of itself.

[@Ayin07]

@@stewAC Some people want to pretend that watching shows like these are giving them insider knowledge. Most people can't afford to fly to Paris and stay there for any length of time. Watching shows like these maybe makes them feel like they aren't missing out. It's probably really difficult to feel like you've experienced a place as a tourist. It's always better when you know someone from that country.

[@Durga695]

Sincerely the "ridicule" tirer par les cheveux is seriously funny, it's a like a two week fantasy for those who don't go disneyworld in the USA and come to Paris. I spent two weeks in Paris in April, because I had to and it was at La Chappelle dans le 10 ieme, I still loved it. I found the French were so kind and helpful towards me. Being back at home in a warzone, escaping into the Fantasy of EIP, Darren Starr has somethow got the keys to the city of Paris, and I love the photography and the shots of Iconic areas. I absolutely love your approach Lucile and are realistic about EIP isn't a docu and watching just for a good time. J'adore.

[@letachja]

I moved to Paris coming Switzerland and I must admit that I wasn´t surprised about the amount of drinking (which isn´t that different from other regions in Europe that have well established drinking cultures, so pretty much all of them) but rather the smoking. I mean people really do smoke a lot in Paris.

[@arigato22]

I have never seen Emily in Paris and I cannot remember Amelie! I think Paris has always been romanticised by the world - when I lived in Japan, the french language and Paris was always a mystical and romatic spot. I don't know if it's true but someone told me that the Japanese embassy offered counseling to Japanese people in Paris who were depressed when they realised that France in reality is not the same as France in movies! One day I"ll watch it :)

[@marianneshepherd6286]

Same reason i watch Bridgeton. Its escapism and the sets are wonderfully shot. Although i do wish there was more bonnets 😢 I'm from the UK and i distinctly remember having a conversation with my parents about drinking alcohol (for context this was during dinner, my parents are Christian and my dad would have maybe one glass of wine on a sunday with food, my mum was teetotal-she told me she didnt like the taste of alcohol). I was about 8 yrs old, and my dad let me try a bit of his wine (it was Blue Nun, and i really didn't like it). Sometimes at Christmas i would be allowed to have one glass of mulled wine under supervision of my parents, and when i was 17 they took me and my twin sister to the pub for a meal (something that we regularly did), we were given the drinks menu and both ordered cokes. My parents told us that as we were 17, we could have an alcoholic beverage, as it was being brought for us by an adult as part of a meal (according to UK drinking laws) ❤

[@karina.kagramanova]

My grandpa used to give me his wine to “boost appetite” when i was 7 - I never wanted to drink it then. I could drink a glass of wine when i was 16 with my parents at a restaurant. and as a result, alcohol was never a “forbidden fruit” for me and I don’t drink it now. I don’t need it. I’m Armenian from Russia )

[@reiraghoul4696]

Same here. I'm from Poland. My boyfriend is French and from what I know, him and his brother weren't allowed to try out alcohol before 18, so maybe it just depends on the parents.

[@kovie9162]

One thing about movies and TV series that take place in a certain location is that, if the majority of their on location scenes (i.e. not shot on sound stage sets) are actually shot in that location and not in some other location that's meant to be a stand-in for it (the way that Vancouver is also a stand-in for Seattle and Toronto the same for NYC, which I can spot instantly having lived in two and visited the other two), is that no matter how unrealistic and even awful the movie or series is, at least we get to see those locations, which is a saving grace if it's an attractive and interesting one. So, whatever one thinks of Emily In Paris, Amelie or Lupin (I've never seen the latter), you still get to see gorgeous shots of famous and/or typical Parisian locations, however cliche they may be. Because cliches aren't always bad, and in fact are what most tourists want to see. So they can redeem even the most awful movie or series that way. They're also important historically, because as time moves on you get to see what that location was like 10, 30, 50 years ago or more. Try watching Godard's A Bout de Souffle (i.e. Breathless) and comparing it to the Paris of today. Fascinating. But seriously, who do they think they're fooling when they try to pass off Vancouver as Seattle or Toronto as NYC, by throwing in some b-roll of the latter? I wonder if anyone's ever try to pass off Lyon or Marseille as Paris. J'Accuse!

[@AlexRoivas]

I went to a college in the USA that has a French exchange student program. In my dorm building we had a lot of the French students. They all told me they disliked Amelie. I became good friends with some of them but one stereotype that they made true is that all the French students smoke cigarettes and I mean a lot. We would be talking and they would go outside and smoke and come in. Even at parties they would leave and smoke outside and come in again.

[@rp8889]

Bonjour, Lucile. Thank you for your insights and humor. It's interesting about the culture of alcohol. I was born and raised in America but my father was French, and when we'd come to France and Corsica to visit our grandparents and cousins in the 1960s and 70s, we kids were served red wine diluted with water at dinner. This was seen as perfectly normal, and as it is, everyone in our family either grew up to drink responsibly or not drink at all. But we know a good wine when we taste it.

[@karina.kagramanova]

As a Chilean I can totally relate to the relation with alcohol you are describing, because in Chile we also have a really large production of wines and alcohol of really good quality. My sister and parents also would let me taste a tiny bit of their wines and beers to teach the about their variety since I was like... 12. And just like in France, the alcohol consumption is going down with newer generations.

It was a definite part of the culture, that was my experience, maybe not Lucile's and it was upsetting for me.

[@kefinkamed]

The whole drinking theme has a direct link to the disconnect between the US and Europe when it comes to alcohol. I live in Central Europe where a lot of beer and wine is made. Of course my grandparents gave me a tiny sip every now ams and then, and every one of my friends has the same experience.

[@MrBennyrick77]

Lastly, I wanted to make a comment about the alcohol and when you were explaining about having wine as a young person. I hope there is not actual negative responses from people about this to you or to the Emily in Paris show. I think we can trust that all parents in all countries despite differences, care about their children and no one is going to do obviously wrong things like give their children alcohol in large quantities or anything like that. We all grow up sneaking sips of dads beer, or wine on new years eve. And especially when we get to be 12 years onwards, it is like a big thing getting to sip more beer or wine on Saturday dinners or lunches. I know mates who were having full beers with their parents when they were 15. But it is all in "moderation" as we say and that is fine. It is strange how people today react so badly to "fictional events" in movies, and TV shows, and then decide to judge everyone based on that lol. We want to be right about everything, and decide we know everything because being right means you are smarter than other people perhaps?. I dont know, but I am not like that. Keep up the great videos, I like your projector also, I have been thinking about getting that for the bedroom. Cheers mate! (Australian way of saying au revoir) lol

I think you hit the nail on the head when you stated that this tv show is made for an American audience. I watch it as mindless fun when I have nothing better to do although Emily is an unlikeable character imo. And that harmful sterotype that French girls are “easy”…well, try having an East European accent, almost everyone thinks you’re a “Natasha” and you’re a mail order bride🙄 Don’t take it too personally, unfortunately people are stupid sometimes.

[@fjdoucet1465]

I used to get mad about people from English-speaking nations portraying foreigners, but I've somewhat altered my opinion on the matter, because a lot of countries do this in their national cinemas. The reason is usually budget constraints or not wanting to replace a big local name with an unknown actor. I recently watched an Egyptian show set in "America," and it was pretty well done, and the mistakes were quite funny at times. It's still acting, after all, and we can't expect every type of person on a screen to be portrayed by an actor of exactly the same background. HOWEVER. I do protest using actors of mismatching backgrounds when it's used as a means of making propaganda. A lot of the time, when little effort is made to accurately reflect culture, it's done in order to poison the audience against whatever is being represented. Obviously, Emily is a lighter show, and the overall portrayal of Paris is meant to be positive and attractive, hence the local actors and on-location filiming (although entirely doing away with stereotypes is clearly beyond the pale for an American production).

Is there a Picardy character? Just watched Welcome to the Sticks (Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis) and wondering if people there are really (or somewhat) like that. Such a person in Paris could make for some interesting shows.

[@charlesaldous5389]

I don't remember which video I saw it on, but (I know you don't), you seem to think that outside France, there is only the USA! I live in England, am half-Dutch and have visited half of Europe. I know you have an American boyfriend, so I suppose this channel is only aimed at Americans no? Yes? Maybe...? Anyway, I do enjoy your channel and will be visiting some of the places you recommend, WHICH IS WRONG! Because I am supposed to be learning basic Frence for an upcoming short trip! And you don't teach any of that! Maybe don't make this channel so darned watchable in future! Thank you, Au Revoir. I too am addicted to 'Emily in Paris'!

[@ThatJessOutWest]

Unrelated to Emily in Paris....I know in other videos you've shared you don't wear much makeup, but I'm curious what kind of product you have on your lips? It doesn't look like it's much color, and just a soft balm finish (though the sponsorship section looked a little glossy). Would love to know if you're willing to share. Merci!

[@LucileHR]

I do love skincare so I’m happy to share :) it’s shea butter from aromazone! I always have a pot with me and I do love the glossy finish when I’ve just applied it! The best part is that a pot costs like 3€ and lasts me for months. Not sponsored in any way by the way, aromazone doesn’t know I exist haha

[@ThatJessOutWest]

Well, Aromazone is now officially on my list of shops for when I'm there next month. 😊 Thank you!

[@PERIDOTVERT]

Bonjour, si vous en avez l'occasion, pourriez-vous demander aux hommes français ordinaires s'ils sont offensés d'être décrits comme ‘perpetually hitting on Emily?’ Il y a beaucoup de femmes françaises attirantes à Paris, et j'ai du mal à croire que les hommes français tomberaient amoureux d'Emily comme des mouches. Je ne suis ni française ni américaine.　Je vois qu'Emily possède toutes les qualités qui plaisent aux Américains, mais les hommes français semblent vouloir plus de complexité chez leur femmes.

[@Estelle-r1u]

Are thriller shows, rom-coms, action shows portrayed accurately? Come on, it’s TV. REALITY shows arent even “REAL”!

[@annawinkel6509]

I couldn’t even watch the entire first episode. I found the characters extremely stereotypical and one dimensional. I was kind of offended on behalf of both cultures. I lived in Paris when I was 19 and 20. I absolutely loved living there and had many amazing experiences.

[@mirelaxo]

But Borat was filmed in Romania 😂

[@richiecabral3602]

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to be rude, I get a lot of people just consume content via their computers now a days, and to each their own regardless, but what do you mean you don't have room for a TV? They make them very flat these days. They don't take up that much room. Also, did you say Bobby is also on KZbin? What does he do? What is his channel?

[@LucileHR]

All my walls are taken lol I live in a 50sqm apartment

[@LucileHR]

and look for livingbobby on YT, he is the one who made me want to start doing youtube :)

[@wild_insomnia]

can you speak posh British,Lucile ? Man,that accent sounds fabulous.

[@LucileHR]

Haha unfortunately I'm terrible at imitating accents

[@ЕкатеринаЛитвиненко-к8ч]

There is a movie about american\french(\a little bit of britain) stereotypes - Le Divorce (2003). How true is it if you've seen it?

@@LucileHR My wife wants to learn French ,can you do a channel on how to speak French Please ,Thank you, Ciao

[@clementcooley4359]

Yeah your accent is pretty cute. LOL

[@nellypresolska1944]

Wanting to visit Paris, of all cities, simply because one has watched over- hyped series on Netflix, to me is a sign of poor education and lack of culture. I will restrain myself from commenting on the choice of taking dumb pictures where the series were shot instead of going to the world's most popular museums, whose entire exploration can literally take months. I will also not comment series created by the same man, who tried to persuade us a ladies in New York can afford a stunning apartment and an endless number of Manolo Blahniks by writing a column on relationships in the paper... So despite your overall positive comments on the show, don't think I'll ever watch it. I am just feeling sorry for the money that went to waste for its shooting.

[@azziza85]

Borat was extreme

[@Ambastha_Thinks]

I want to ask you that, is there any vegetarian food in France☺☺😅😅

[@LucileHR]

Yes! You always find at least one vegetarian option at restaurants

[@Ambastha_Thinks]

@@LucileHR Oh that's nice, thanks☺

[@patriciasette3040]

There's no need to be apologetic about your parents letting you, as a small child, taste wine. My parents, Italian-Americans, would let me, as quite a little kid, have a small glass of beer now and then. I mean, "small." That was in the 50's, when giving your child a daily orange juice was like a religious tenet. So everyone had these very small "juice glasses" in their cupboard. And even then, they probably filled the glass halfway.By the time my brother and I were in our mid-teens, we would have been allowed a small portion of cocktail in the home, although we actually weren't much interested. My parents preferred that to having us sneak out to drink. But on the whole, I have found Americans extremely puritanical about letting children taste alcohol, to a ridiculous extent. I have seen adults being quite annoyed about children having a sip from the cup at religious ceremonies. If you are waiting for a table at a restaurant, you may sit at the bar, but in some states, your child, even if teenaged, cannot sit with you, so you stand and wait. Way back when ice cream parfaits with a little bit of creme de menthe drizzled on them was a fad, restaurants couldn't serve them to underage people.

What region of France can boast the thickest and the least understandable accent ?

[@LucileHR]

Hmm I'd say Marseille but I don't want to start a debate haha :)

G'day Lucile, from Australia. I am a middle aged male, and I have totally enjoyed Emily in Paris and started learning French. How many times have you heard someone say that by now? lol. I truly did learn some interesting things about French culture, but on the positive side, and how to not be rude to people in France by respecting French tradition etc such as saying hello to the owner of the French shop after walking in. I definitely did not let the things in the series go to my head in terms of stereotyping French people. I think everyone is "misunderstood" until you get to know them, which is why Emily is hated by her work colleagues and eventually has to learn to understand. I enjoy your videos also, and really enjoy listening to your explain various things. I cant watch Season 4 until the last part is released, I have to watch them together so I dont have to wait a month wondering! lol.
