If you’re used to glorifying busyness, scheduling every minute, and feeling low-key guilty for watching a movie without “being productive”... France might feel like a different planet. And honestly? That’s kind of the point. Let’s Talk About the Cultural Reset In France: - People pause in the middle of the day (yes, really pause) - Sundays are sacred - Rest isn’t something you “earn”—it’s just part of life You’re not rewarded for burnout. You’re not applauded for answering emails at midnight. You're encouraged to live. What That Looks Like in Real Life You might: - Take a two-hour lunch on a Tuesday and not feel bad about it - Walk to the market every morning just because it brings you joy - Close your laptop at 5 and not think about it again until tomorrow Life in France isn’t lazy. It's just less performative.There’s less pressure to prove how hard you’re working—and more space to actually enjoy what you’ve built.

The soft. The deeply satisfying enough-ness of it all.
