France is a popular vacation<\/a> destination for many people. Whenever people start considering heading on over to Europe for a week or so, France is always high on the list. However, there are some things that you have to be aware of that will make your trip go much smoother. Keep these things in mind while you are flying over and be prepared as you step down from the plane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soda Is Not Common<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In\nmost places, soda is a pretty common drink to have with your meals. In France,\nnot so much. More people are likely to have wine instead. Plus, they don\u2019t\nreally believe in ice. All of your drinks are going to be served at room\ntemperature. If you like to drink Coke or Pepsi, just be ready for them to\nbring it to you warm. In addition, it will be much more expensive than you are\nused to. You might want to just drink water while you are there instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skinny Jeans Are In Style There<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Imagine\nlooking out your window and seeing a sea of men wearing skinny jeans. While it\nis perhaps the least manly look that a person can come up with, it is the norm\nin France. It used to be that men would try to hide the fact that they had\nskinny chicken legs, but now it seems they want to emphasize it instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Language Is a Barrier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walking\naround Paris, you will have a difficult time communicating with most if you\ndon\u2019t speak French. Plus, you know the common theme that French people are a\nbit on the rude side? It would be best if you had a way to communicate. For\nthis reason, professional French\ntranslation services are better<\/a> to have at your disposal than\ntrying to wing it. Whether you are travelling around France or even talking to\nsomeone on the phone or through email, having a translator makes everything\neasier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking in Paris Is the Way to Go<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To say\nthe driving in Paris is insane is an understatement. There are basically no\nrules. If you have ever seen those Mad Max movies, then this should give you a\ngood idea of what to expect. Save yourself the trouble and just walk wherever\nyou go. If you need to, you can always get an Uber to take you places farther\naway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
