French here! I was extremely lucky to spend a semester in England for my studies and I just fell in love with the UK! I traveled around up to Scotland and absolutely loved every part of my experience. The British are really awesome people and I truly think that they are our brothers and sisters as we complete each other :) I look forward to coming back to this marvellous country!

As an Englishman I absolutely LOVE France and the French - they are our European brothers/sisters

Saying you've been to London to experience the English is like visiting Paris to find the French.

It’s our media that makes us all think we dislike each other.

As an English man, I absolutely love going to France. Its the best other country.

I think the French are great people. As an English man I have a mutual liking and admiration for them. Their country has been a very creative one over the centuries

I love the French and love their country. I also like that they stand up for themselves.

This was delightful to watch, I smiled the whole time. As a Canadian who has benefitted from both the French and English cultures and traditions, I can safely say both places are wonderful. I have travelled extensively over many years in the U.K. and France. I love both and I am happy to see kind comments and good will shown here. I have a soft spot for the British Isles because of my heritage, and a love of France because of their way of living. Cheers to both!

There all so nice about us! They are not playing the game

France is quite magnificent, l admire so much. Vive La France. An Englishman.

This is lovely. I've seen a few of these and was not expecting the French to be the nicest about us 😂

I’m a Brit but I’m an absolute Francophile. I love French people. I love France. I love the culture and the food and the wine and the landscape. I work for a French company and I spend every minute I can in France. Basically if you Frenchies love us Brits, I love you Frenchies twice as much in return…

So nice to hear what those people said

The French are the most creative of people. Everything looks beautiful from their fashion, patisserie, gardens and buildings. They make the world a better place.

🐸🇫🇷 here ! I absolutely love everything about you my British friends ! For me Great Britain 🇬🇧 is sacred ! French kiss to you mates 👅💦

I'm English and I have been to France many times. I love the French culture, people and country. Love from the UK

The lady with a son in Taunton has got it. She understands 😊

On a cruise we stoped in Toulon…we absolutely fell in love with it…the people are so friendly and helpful and it’s such a beautiful place…the year after we went to Marseille and fell in love with that too…I think we need to explore more about France..its culture and history….and its food and wine too

I work with French people and we laugh together the most than any others..I work with many countries

Last trip to France, I spent 2 hours speaking with the bus driver. He had one of the best senses of humour. We spent the whole trip laughing. Great people, great country xx

I like when I go to France that they insist on speaking French. I think that is fine and makes me learn a little.

What a lovely relief to find the people you spoke to enjoyed their time and that we left a good impression!

As a Brit I absolutely love France. I will visit there over every other place in the world. I love Provence but this summer I went to Deauville. It’s great experiencing and learning about the country more. We will always be only 30 miles (sorry, 40 km) away.

Recently I took my family to the Loire Valley. We had an amazing time, the people were just so nice. At least once a day one of us will say “I wish I was still in France”

I think the average French and Brit are very similar, we all believe in democracy, law and order, we treasure our history, we respect individual rights.

Thank you for your very kind comments. By the way, I love beans on toast. It's very unique but I love it. I do love French food too. Saying hello from the UK. 😊

Wow that’s beautiful, I’d love to visit England someday.

France is my most favourite country in the World ..I also think the French are very cool, and friendly. (I am 100% English)

Have the best memories on holiday in France as a kid

Things I like about England: efficiency, slim bureaucracy, beer, the atmosphere you get in pubs, the banter you get in sports, very friendly shop assistants, the countryside full of wild blackberries and apples, cream tea, the beaches in the south west. Also the weather isn’t bad, a bit rainy, but the sun also comes out quite often, it never gets too cold like Scandinavia or Germany.

Now I know the same is true the other way around. I know English people who've moved to France, and who were helped out by locals when they needed help with understanding how to do something. Glad to hear they were looked after and treated right in Britain. For old enemies, you've turned out to be remarkably good friends. I agree with the sentiment about Britain and British things being in Britain and France and French things being in France. It's important each of our cultures survive, both have contributed vastly to human advancement, both must be encouraged to continue developing according to the wants and whims of our respective peoples. So that can continue. Leaving the EU was (for me) in part about that. Not about disliking anything French or German, completely the opposite. I recently visited Berlin (30 years later) and was disappointed by how much of my culture and language was everywhere. Berlin should be German, a bit of England/English mixed in is one thing, but in places there was as much England/English as there is in London. Didn't seem right to me. I loved (just as much as I did 30 years ago) Berlin, but it could have done with having less of my ways and language in it.

I'm an Englishman from Kent, so I've always been fairly close to France. I always enjoy my time out there and find the French to be good folk, and not the stereotypically snobby or rude people some people think they are! Hope to get back out there again soon!

I live in France. The French are exactly the same as the British, they just talk a different language. Thats what I think after 21 years here. Oh BTW I love living here.

Englishman here that lives in Australia......one of the things I miss the most about living in England is being close to France.....I love the place.

We use to holiday in Antibes up to five years ago. Everyone was very nice and friendly

Reassuringly nice ❤😂

I really like the French. I’m actually just learning the language at the age of 48, having not done it since the age of 15.

I love the dordogne region. Lovely people, cuture, and its so green,clean,and picturesque. I want to retire there. Beautiful country. I love it!

Well, that went better than I was expecting! I was expecting the French to universally hate us. 😆 In all the times I've visited France, I've only met one person I didn't like, and that was a bus driver in Nice who refused to even entertain my attempts at schoolboy French. I may as well have been attempting to speak to him in some obscure Chinese dialect than in French, but maybe he was just having a bad day! But apart from him, I absolutely love the French. 😊 P.S. I did study French to advanced level for six years at school, but that was a long time ago. So I can admit that my French is rusty, but I didn't think it was incomprehensible. They always seem to understand me when I have to speak French on my frequent trips to Morocco! 😆

I love France and the French. It's a great country to travel around. Over the last 40 years we've never had a problem.

I lived in France for a year, working in ski resorts. Loved it had a great time.

The French and English are like siblings. They squabble and poke fun at each other but they love each other really. 😉

I love France and the French. We are like the siblings that pretend to dislike each other but really we're similar

Lived in south eastern France in a small village .Great people

As a Scot, we’ve always had a soft spot for the French! They’ve shaped so much of our culture here in Scotland (and the UK as a whole), and honestly, I’d stand with France for the pastries alone-proper French patisserie is truly second to none. This is the hill I’m prepared to die on! 🤣 You might hear the occasional cheeky joke down in England about 'The French,' but please don’t mistake our British sense of humour for disdain-we mock what we hold dear. The French have played such an important role in our shared history that a bit of friendly teasing just shows how much we value the connection.

I loved this video♥️

We need to spend more time in each others country. Then we realise we are almost exactly the same. I love France for its differences, but I love the UK for the security blanket it puts around me, no matter where I go, I feel I am home!

I love the French they don't mess about.

I don’t understand where the animosity comes from in the media towards France and its people. I personally have visited numerous parts of the country and love everything about it. I also find the people very warm and kind towards tourists. Beautiful country full of marvellous people in my view

The average person is fine and can get along most of the time, the biggest problem any country faces tends to be terrible and morally corrupt politicians looking for money and most importantly power.

As a Brit who lives in Central Europe, I love driving over the border into Eastern France and exploring the picturesque villages and towns in that area. It is amazing escapism, and gives me a refreshing mind reset to continue my life in Central Europe. I love France, such an amazing country to explore !

I love coming to France. I've always found it very friendly (outside Paris!)... friendlier than the UK certainly. And French people stick up for their rights more!

That was really nice to hear. Somerset is the best county 😊

I asked a French guy about the French. He said the people of Paris consider people outside Paris to be inferior and that people outside Paris think Parisians to be snobbish. He concluded that even the French don't like the French... 😂😂😂🇬🇷

Thankyou France that was very sweet and not what I was expecting. Viva la France 🇫🇷 ♥️ 😊

Taunton is a very friendly town.

Great interactions. I’d say Brits are a friendly bunch, we share the same interests in many ways, our politics our common history.

sorry that our weather followed you to sunny france. hopefully it's back to normal now.

The french and the English don't hate each other, they have been allies for a long time. Love the french accent....its so romantic

How refreshing.... As a Brit I welcome the French here, I wish more would emigrate, those I've met smash the stereotype apart completely, very friendly and funny people, always nice. I'd live in France if it wasn't for commitments. Esp the STH of France. Stunning, and weather is beautiful 😍... Plus the ladies, ooh la la!

🇬🇧🇫🇷🇫🇷👍 Merci..thank you!.

im an English guy,now living Thailand and ive lived in South Africa and Turkey,you become used to mixing in a friendly way with other nationalities,ive travelled in Europe and found most people in different countries friendly and helpful...one instance...i was driving in France from Cherbourg to the Vendee region and it was at night,running late,i was in central Narbonne,omg,which way? to the Vendee coast(cant remember the resort town)i stopped side of road and saw this guy walking into some apartments,so i called to him in some broken French,he stopped and was friendly and he told me in broken English after i asked Si vouz plai,route Vendee(and at that time name of town)he said ah,Statue Napoleon La droit(right)direct 15 k...and find correct road...any way i say Merci,got in my car and head towards traffic lights and statue,a flash of lights and he pulled in front of me and took me 15 k to correct road....merci monsoir,entente cordial,i have him a hug and shake of hands...nice helful guy and id do the same for any foreigner i meet..ok we have this past with the French,whether Fighting in different old wars but our past is intermingled,our small Island was a mix of Saxon,Viking,then the Normans(who were of Viking decent)then shaped our country of UK,I believed in Brexit,not because of any particular country in Europe but these idiots in Brussels dictating to us,losing our identity etc,i love English and French cheeses,especially Brie,Caemenbert and my favourite drink is Cognac or Napolean brandy....ive been in Thailand 14 years,i play in Two pool teams in one i have a French Canadian player,when hes going to play a game i always wish him Bon Chance,he appreciates i try French with him,those British that have never travelled tend to be more insular but those like me who have travelled and picked up bits of other languages tend to get on better with other peoples,i speak some German,some Turkish,and Afrikaans,always helps,in my other pool team im captain of,i have several Belgian Flemish,one American,Dutch guy,but their English ok but i use Afrikaans sometimes,we all get on ok.

French and English are extremely similar, especially the North of France and the South of England. English are friendlier but the French are more direct which is better sometimes. Love both people. Especially those from the countryside!

I always thought the French hated the English 😂 I might actually pay a visit to France now haha

I have loved France since childhood holidays in Brittany and time spent in Paris and Marseilles, where I lost my virginity to a French girl as a teenager. I also love Spain and want to see as much of Italy as possible before I hit 30. But France, anyone who doesn't love it has just never been there yet.

ONE OF MY SISTERS MARRIED A FRENCHMAN, SO I HAVE ANGLO-FRENCH NIECES.THEY SPEAK FRENGLAIS. 😀

Another Englishmen here, I love seeing this. viva la France et viva la Angleterre

I've met English people in France. Some weren't good. More.. thought they were exceptional.

A shout to Taunton...the big T 🙌

Have spent a lot of time in France as an Englishman, there’s the odd rude person but generally speaking I found the French good people with a great culture. The rugby playing ones that is 😉. The only thing I would say is people have no understanding of what legitimate traditional English food is and it’s a shame it’s not on offer on a large scale for people to try. But have made some very good friendships in France 👍

Asterix the Gaul in Britain, is perfect reflection.

This is a really interesting channel - bravo! You have to visit Wales too. I love France and the French, beautiful country, great people and the best bike race in the world.

It's such a shame that we're so close to each other and yet so far. This video has heartened me tho 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷

Centuries of the Worlds best Rivalry culminated in this wholesome video.

I am English from Lincolnshire 😊I had a great holiday in San Marlo but i could tell who was French or English straight away 😊I do like the big shutters you have on your windows.😂

Was pleasantly surprised to hear so many complimentary comments about England from French people. It should be like this both ways actually, we are very close neighbours but anyway I was not expecting this.

Over 160,000 French citizens live in the UK.

I'm heartened by the positive remarks though a bit confused by the lady saying she couldn't find anything to eat in London and ended up with a banana because she couldn't find an apple. As for breakfast, most hotels offer a choice of continental or English and a lot of bars that open in the morning will offer lots of choice, even in the little town where I live I can get a range of breakfast from English to Shakshuka, Mezze and Tapas.

Great Video my friend! Mercy! Waiting for new videos!

This interview is in Saint-Nazaire right?🔥

As a Folkestonian, France was my next door neighbour.

France is an extremely beautiful country too. The food and wine are great, and the local cultures are preserved well in many areas. Aside from some issues in one city - Paris - I have otherwise found all French people very friendly and welcoming, and some were also patient enough to help to correct my errors in French, which I appreciated (if nobody tells you, it is harder to learn). Of course, being English, I take the p... out of the French - it is my obligation to do that - but frankly, most Brits do not insult their enemies, they are not worth the effort. Only friends are worthy victims of well-constructed insult!

I'm so glad she got to try the famous British dish "bean on toast" English/British have a complex relationship with the French, but our shared genetics comes through. Spoiler alert: We like each other! BTW I was in Paris for the 2024 Olympics and everything was great. I can only say positive things.

Change the title. England is not Britain. Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales.

Where are they speaking from in France.??? it looks nice! The promenade along that nice beach where is it ? Calais?

As an Englishman I love France and its people and its geography however I must admit l do like a bit banter between us every now and again 🇬🇧🇫🇷

I like our differences.

A last note. I live in Somerset. We make Somerset Brie cheese. My French brother-in-law always said it is the best as we use full cream milk.😀 Both France and the UK make the best cheeses in the world.

Also for the record.my step dad is scottish.. but he's brother lived in Switzerland.. so my cousins are fluent in french. One lives in Australia.. Dont get to see him much

I live in Taunton and know a few French people here; maybe I know her son. I must ask.

I think France is a great country and have always had an enjoyable time when I've visited.

these people seem to think London is England..it is not. to see England you need to move away from the capital which is full of foreigners. try Cornwall, cotswolds, liverpool, Newcastle, The Lake district or Yorkshire moors including York or Chester and experience Real England at it's best.

Also ... Ø is a Norwegian letter.. As far as I know Only country in the World that has it. Well ....and Denmark. Yes I did Notice your Mic. :)

French alpes are the best. J'adore la France

Like most siblings, the rivalries of our formative years (colonialism) have been put behind us and we have entered a far more caring stage with the wisdom of older age. Also like many siblings, it was probably that time when a bully started on our sister (WW1/WW2) that we got that sense of "we are the only one that gets to pick on her", then promptly steped in to defend her. It reminded us both that, despite the squabling and bickering, we do care really ... well, at least sometimes 😜🤭 🇨🇵❤🇬🇧

I love France 🇫🇷

FrenchEnglish accents are super cool 😎

At least we Brits and French know stuff about each other whereas most Americans can't find Canada and Mexico on a map of North America 😇

Brit here. I once got into some trouble with some French boys when I went there at 16 years old on a road trip across the north coast of France, but it was the best kind of trouble 🤗 and then I got grounded for 6 months, thanks France! Haha!
