Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast. Hey guys,how's it going? So, we talked about Paris.
If you want to Paris, then there's no otheroptions, but you have other cities in France
which are less crowded, less rushy, and people aremore gentle, slow-living kind of.
Because Paris is like Tokyo, it's like people arerushing. It's the capital, just like New York,Tokyo, Paris.
So, it's good. It's a beautiful city, but at thesame time it has, you know...
It has its own vibes. That could be, uh, okay.
Right. So, if you go, for example, like in Cannesor Nice, that's like the southern coast of France.
They are very, like, chilling, slow, like a gentlevibe.
Okay. You think the people are kinder?
I think so. I think so. The French are, thelanguage French are slower than in Paris.
You're talking about the, in general, how the waythey talk and like the accent-wise, it's likeslower, relaxed?
Yeah. Oh, okay.
It's more like singing.
Oh, okay.
And it's beautiful. You have sea, ocean.
Oh, okay.
So, that's a good option, I think.
What's something that you, what's something that Imight miss if I choose to go in those southernareas?
Um, I think those, like, iconic Paris things.
Like the Eiffel Tower?
Yeah. Gaisse and Mons.
Gaisse and Mons. The landmarks.
Museums, you know, those.
Okay.
The Mona Lisa.
Yeah.
Sure.
Things.
Sure.
The Paris-ness.
Okay.
Yeah. Well, it's obvious, but...
By Paris-ness, you're talking about, like, thevibe of the people.
Yeah. And also the architecture.
The architecture. Okay.
Landmarks.
Okay.
Temples.
So, the atmosphere of the city, like, that comesfrom the architecture.
That's, so you're saying that's different.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's different.
And how they dress.
Oh, okay.
Yeah. But you can have, like, good restaurants insouthern France.
You can have, or sometimes better, I would say.
You can have good shopping places.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Especially in Cannes, they have, like, you know,brands.
Oh, it's like, they have, like, high brandstreets?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, Champs-Élysées?
In Paris, they have, like, those shops.
Yeah.
And it's famous for, like, shoppings.
03:02
But in Cannes, they have that kind of same vibe.
Oh, okay, okay.
What else?
I think it's like Shanghai.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
That's good.
But if you want to be in Paris, then, yeah, youhave to go.
Sure.
Paris is Paris.
Yeah.
So, if it's not Paris, it's not Paris for manypeople.
Right.
Okay.
Right.
Yeah.
You know those, like, high-end fashion brands thatsays, like, something, something, Paris?
Yeah.
Where's the, are they all located, are theheadquarters, like, located in Champs-Élysées?
Yes, yes.
Not every, every, but...
Not every, but, like...
Yeah, mainly in the city.
It's one of the popular...
Yes, yes.
...headquarter spots.
Yeah, yeah.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Have you been there before?
Um, yes.
I entered to the Louis Vuitton.
Okay.
The headquarter Louis Vuitton and Cartier.
Okay.
Yeah, some of those places.
What was the experience like there?
What do you think was kind of, like, different?
Building is brilliant.
I didn't buy anything, but...
Okay.
...the building was, um, it's like a museum.
It's like a...
Yeah.
Can you just walk in and go, or do you need, like,a reservation?
Um, some of them, yes.
Okay.
If it's crowded.
But I didn't do any reservation in just, becauseit was not that crowded.
Okay.
But the Louis Vuitton building was, like, huge...
Wow.
...huge suitcase.
Wow.
Yeah, it's, and inside you can see some, you know,like a...
I would say very beautiful collections andeverything.
Oh, okay.
That's not for sale.
Wow.
Okay.
Things.
So, like, a collection, then?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's good.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
It's good.
Whereas, um, in Cannes, it's more like our usualshop.
Okay.
Louis Vuitton shop.
It's just, like, maybe the one you can...
The one you find in Tokyo.
Okay.
But still, you can find good things.
But I think the Minami France, the view, thenature view is beautiful.
Right.
That's my image of...
Exactly.
...southern France.
You don't have oceans in Paris.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
It's the very vacances place.
The temperature's perfect as well?
Yes.
It's high, but not too high, and dried, and alwayssunny.
Oh, wow.
That's nice.
It's not like that in France?
France is a little bit more extreme?
Sorry.
Paris.
Oh, yeah.
Paris is more cold.
Okay.
It's northern...
North, and it's a bit cold.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, I recommend those places.
So, if you go, like, west of France, you can have,like, very...
Like a castle.
Very old castle.
You can have, like, a grape wine fields.
06:01
Nice.
It's more like a countryside, but making, like, agood cheese.
You can have good meat, like, wines, andeverything.
That sounds great.
Yeah.
It's a very slow life.
That sounds great.
And, yeah.
Yeah.
And if you go west, east side, you can have Alpes.
Alpes-Sanmiyaku.
Oh, okay, yeah.
So, you can, like, you can ski if you want to.
You can see the, like, you know, those hugemountains.
The mountains.
Okay.
Maybe you can find it in the United States, maybe,like, a bigger mountain.
Sure, yeah.
National parks are huge in America, but...
Right.
Sure.
But you can have those things.
Okay.
So...
That seems pretty interesting to me as well.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm probably more than Paris.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's good.
Yeah.
Well, the thing is, maybe there's no, like, directflight from Japan to those places.
Connect from Paris?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Maybe, like, a day in Paris and then, like...
I think that's a great idea.
Like, just a day or one night in Paris and justsee something.
Yeah.
And then...
And then two or three days in the south.
Yeah.
Seems like a great plan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was talking to Yangshan off cameras about,like, if I...
You asked me, like, are you planning to go toParis?
But, like, no.
I was, like, several months ago, but I was scared,so it made it off my list.
Yeah.
Yeah, I might put it back on.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
