EP 41: This is why you are not making friends in Paris

In this episode, we explore how we build meaningful friendships in Paris, reflecting on cultural differences that shape connection and trust. We learn that friendship here isn’t rushed, it’s something we earn over time through consistency, discretion, and shared values. As we navigate this, we’re encouraged to slow down, be genuine, and focus on depth over quantity, understanding that true friendships grow quietly but last deeply.   Episode breakdown: Intro - 00:00:00 Reflecting on our journey together and friendships with locals - 00:00:58 Lesson One - Do not treat people like calendar slots - 00:09:26 Lesson Two - Name Dropping - 00:11:11 Lessons Three - Longlasting Relationships - 00:15:39 Gossip - 00:17:52 Final reflection - 00:19:43   Connect with Jane Bertch: Website: www.janebertch.com https://www.instagram.com/janebertch/   Add us to your favorite audio platform: https://linktr.ee/generateher Produced by Jane Bertch.
