Work-wise: Work hours are 9-6pm. Pretty much never any longer, oftentimes shorter.
Socially: Lots of actual social drinking. Not social drinking as in parties (though ofc those are big too), but sitting at a bar talking and drinking, or playing cards are drinking. Lots of smoking too, which I wasn't expecting.
Food: Everything is delicious. Also some variations on food we have - kiwi yogurt, Schweppes Agrum, the best baguettes ever, well-made coffee... I wasn't a coffee drinker before I came here and I probably won't be one when I leave, but I can always do a cafe lait or caffe latte or cafe con leche or whatever you want to call a coffee with milk. Dinner is also best eaten at like 10pm.
You know, I really like France (and Europe). Not sure I would ever live here permanently, but I could see myself spending a year or two here. Of course, all this traveling and good food might be biasing me...
