February satirist biography

The most important thought in this post was this: choose the place where you will be comfortable. I am very comfortable in France, despite all its shortcomings. And I decided to describe in simple words what exactly causes me such a delight and a sense of affection. Although, frankly, the last points were very difficult. If you like, I will definitely describe 10 things with which France is sooo very upset me.

So, let's go: 1. Architecture I am a complete and irrevocable visual, so I like to look around when I walk along the street. And growing on the French-Italian-German architecture of St. Petersburg, I would probably not be able to move to a country where there is no splendor. France has not only delightful buildings in any more or less well-known architectural style, but also gives you the opportunity to see other, more local things, such as: a unique charm of small houses with red slate, a pink brick, the German charm of Elsas, a yellow-red palette of southern regions.

Politability and friendliness, as an element of tradition, as they say, French children learn to say “thank you”, “please” and “sorry” before they can say “mom” or “dad”. Over the years, the issue of educating the new generation of the French, of course, has changed a bit, and the current teenagers are in most politeness completely deprived of completely. Another thing is people from 30, as well as the older generation.

Everyone greet you, up to the bus driver. It apologizes if he touches you on the street or in transport, every third. Moreover, when you go shopping for the market or in small shops fish, meat, cheese, the mood is provided for the whole day - the owners of the shops or trays are smiled, say hello, do not forget to say “thank you” for the purchase and will certainly wish you a good day.

Contempted traditions under this I mean, soon, the ability of the French are ancient and already long -long forgotten things to pass from generation to generation, and if it comes to holidays, then we will be able to interest this not only of the audience that loves history. This is a tradition, conditionally, to celebrate the middle of the spring, which has been stretching since the time when the Romans owned lands in the northeast of the city.

The holiday was accompanied by dances, songs and other good. Now they are still celebrated. But at the same time, no one is obliged to wear a traditional Nisuaz costume, sing or dance, and people come for a holiday just to spend time with their family and taste local dishes. And no one remembers when this tradition appeared. The most important thing is that everyone knows that throughout May you can spend an excellent day in the fresh air, rejoicing that you live in Nice.

The terraces terraces are open, the terraces closed, the terraces are heated by the salvation for all smokers, of which in France there are not few. In the summer, sitting on the terrace of some cafe with friends is a certain pastime. In winter, many restaurants and bars of the terraces close and put heating devices - thus, even physically on the street, you will not freeze, and the space is not considered so closed that it is impossible to release toxic nicotine couples.

Yes, and there is something inexplicable in this phenomenon, some of those old French films-romantic, light and laid-back in the photo rather the opposite situation, but what to do :.

Food and attitude towards it are no secret that French cuisine is one of the best in the world. But I am no longer about high gastronomy, namely about that, homely, warm and native food that we consume every day. Many Frenchmen have some kind of special, very reverent attitude to food. If meat, then from meat shop. If the cheese is a lot and different. If vegetables, then it is better to buy them in the market at all.

It is clear that not everyone can afford to lead such a lifestyle and not everyone wants to lead it like that, but when you communicate with such Frenchmen, you begin to really think. And not even about health and reinforcement, but about the attitude to food and products - as a favorite pet. The convenience of movements and small distances thanks to numerous low -cost airlines, a developed railway system, intercity buses, ferries and boats for the fact that in the strategic places of France you can move so quickly and relatively conveniently depends on the type of transport.

A flight from Nice to Toulouse stands an euro per person one way and lasts 50 minutes 10 of which is a movement before take -off and after landing. From Paris to the south you can get on a high -speed train per night, as from St. Petersburg to Moscow, provided that in France you cross almost the whole country. A long -distance bus costs from 9 euros. From Nice, you can get to neighboring small towns that are quite known, take the same Cannes in general at the usual tariff of 1.5 euros.

About the development of services from the series of blat blah kar, I generally am silent. To hit friends in another city for the weekend is not a problem at all, there would be a desire and money. And I believe that this gives just a huge feeling of freedom.Oh yes, and you, as a resident, do not need a Schengen visa. The unity of communes and intraordinate pride for starters that such a commune is the smallest unit of administrative -territorial division of France.

At the same time, the commune is not equal to the settlement, which is located on its territory, but slightly goes beyond. And each city, every commune has its own holidays, its cultural events, typical of this territory. Such pride and love allow how to lead the many hours of holivars on the topic, who is cooler, that, in general, not the most fun in life, and just to learn a lot of new things without even sitting down on multi-volume people about the history of France.

Climate and variety of relief did you want at sea in the summer? BAM, a huge coast of Mediterranean, choose any nook and come. Want to the ocean? North, South? Take a swim or ride a grief? We have suggestions for every taste, sir! What, skiing in winter? Not a question! Pyrenees, Alps - at your service. Rivers, lakes, forests, deciduous, deciduous, but any - all this within the framework of one country at least And about the distances, see the p.

Radio is a very strange point for a simple reader, but I nevertheless included it in a selection. French radio stations are not a relic of the age, it is really powerful information and educational media. It is for the second quality that I love him. Cultural phenomena, politics, open discussions, philosophical conversations - on the radio you can listen to everything that will come to mind.

All broadcasts can be heard on the Internet again, many of them even in video format that are actively loaded into social networks. Radio in France died? Not at all, Monsieur! Plus, this is a great way to learn spoken language and pronunciation, not particularly looking up from affairs as in the case of television. Aperitif or, gently - Apero Oh, this magical tradition!

It is like a fourth meal, as a holy graal of any dinner with guests, as one of the participants in this very dinner and the point is not even that in most cases you are allowed to start alcoholic beverages a couple of hours before the start of the main action, but that the aperitif allows you. Aperitiv is life. I apologize for the grammar if there are mistakes.

Pictures are partially crushed from the Internet. If you have questions, and especially if you want to continue with the negative aspects of France in my opinion, write to the comments. I will try to answer everyone to show completely
