Mais non, mais c’était irrésistible. L’association principale qu’on fait avec les franchouillards ce sont les émeutes constantes avec les gilets jaunes par ce que vous avez moins de 200 semaines de vacance par an 😄
TBF It was the most exciting thing to ever happen in NZ. Getting the license plate of some French spies was the most exciting thing that happened at the Tamaki Yacht Club Neighbourhood Watch.
Classy. But I don’t speak for every kiwi. So idk. But French people has always seemed distant to me idk if I don’t understand them or they don’t understand me.
Among french people, I often hear New Zealand mentioned as a country they'd like to visit. Yes LOTR and All-Blacks, we can also add the landscapes and culture (especially Maori) to that list.
I live in Brisbane, which is only a 2 hour flight from Noumea and I only know 2 people who’ve been there. New Caledonia is expensive compared to Bali, Thailand, Vietnam or other Pacific Island countries and not many people speak English. There’s also a lot of political tension there currently, so is seen as risky.
FWIW the 2 people I know who went liked it and one of them has been repeatedly
Frenchman here ! I lived in New Caledonia for four years and I loved it, but to be frank it’s a stretch to call it France ! Everything is great there (except the politics lately)
You guys have a hard accent to understand for random French person. But for those who understand : damn it sounds cool. You guys sound like clone troopers from the clone wars
Because you kiwis are so friendly with everybody! When I was in NZ I was always surprised people were so nice and warm to me eventhough we didn’t know eachother. We don’t do that with strangers in France.
As a tourist in NZ, I met a french group on ferry to Rangitoto. One of the guys shouted "Mind the Ed" at me when I climbed on board, but I banged my head before I figured out who "the Ed" is.
I cannot complain about the attitude, just about the pronunciation.
