It's already been 3 months since I was in France. I wish we were a little closer and I could just pop in for few days or the long weekend.

One of my favourite things about Paris is noticing the little quirks of everyday life. They’re the habits that I kind of forget about leaving in Australia but hit me as soon as I land and are such a part of the French scene. 

Here are 5 quirky French habits you’ll spot in Paris from day 1.

Phrase to try: Une baguette, s’il vous plaît. (One baguette, please.) *ps. Make sure you ask for une baguette tradition, it's the best.

So how do you dress like a French woman?
