Which city in France is generally friendly?

If I answer Paris, it doesn't sound serious Parisians are as friendly as people in new york. Although Paris, as a global metropolis, may have become accustomed to exoticism and "foreigners", the city has become a monster of overcrowding, high prices and excessive pollution. More and more people want to escape from here ... usually prefer other cities on the list. Just like the United States, there is a "sunshine zone phenomenon" in France. Many people moved to the sunny south, which triggered a rapid development. Four of the seven cities listed here are located in the sunshine zone of France.

I don't have any bad experiences with the locals in any of the cities on the list, but stereotypes still exist. You can see on many French forums about where is the best place to live. I think there must be some facts, even though stereotypes are exaggerated by definition. The last three seem to belong to the less friendly category, while the last three belong to the more friendly category.

Although it is not in the sunshine zone, the ideal location is one hour's drive from the Alps and two hours' drive from the Mediterranean. Lyon, built on two rivers, has beautiful scenery, charming hilly areas, soft-colored houses, major Roman heritage and strong cooking traditions. As the second largest city in France, Lyon attracts many immigrants, although the local people are often described as isolated and sectarian. Lyons are actually "bonons vivants" (hedonists), so it's only a matter of time before you share their values and become their friends.

The climate on the French Riviera is like a paradise, but in other parts of France, people will judge you more by your wealth. Nice is famous as "the city of jewels", so left-wing liberals avoid it. If you have money, the quality of life is certain. The suburbs are full of villas with swimming pools, surrounded by pine trees, and many locals have their own boats. Be sure to visit "arrier -pays". Nice is still neglected, but the exquisite hinterland, before it developed and became too middle-class.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is famous internationally for its wines and magnificent buildings, but the local people are usually regarded as arrogant chauvinists ("like Parisians, but more economical" …) and are usually quite conservative. However, many people moved there, although it may take some time and effort to integrate into the local area. Its price is relatively low, of course, it is also suitable for living, with world-class food and easy access to the picturesque southwest and the long white beaches of the Atlantic Ocean.

Toulouse

Toulouse, as a competitor in the southwest of Bordeaux, has the same passion for food, similar rugby culture, but different spirit. Toulouse is nicknamed "Pink City" because of the color of its houses. Summer is long and hot, with a little Spanish flavor. Cafe terraces are always crowded with people, and locals like to revel in any possible occasion. They should be like-minded, but they are also easy to be moody and easy to show.

Montpellier

Montpellier, located in the middle of South France, has experienced the fastest growth in the past 30 years. This once small city finally feels like a metropolis. Montpellier, a few miles from the beach, is fashionable in architecture, young in population and lively in atmosphere, with typical French cafe terraces everywhere. However, although the city is quite open, you should know that the surrounding scenic spots are called right-wing base camp.

Grenoble

Like Montpellier, Grenoble is a newcomer to the list of big cities in France. Not far from the sunshine zone, but it is not in the sunshine zone either. Thanks to the prosperity of hydropower, it has developed at the foot of the Alps. Grenoble is considered as the most sporting city in France. Close to the hillside, you can go skiing after work. Locals should be easy-going. If you like skiing, you are sure to make friends soon. The biggest scam is the ubiquitous and uncreative modern architecture in the 1960s.

However, if you are looking for a French city with friendly locals, I'm surprised you didn't mention …

Lille

Lille, located at the northern end of France, has an industrial background and is the core of the "rust zone" in France. Cheap housing and depressed job market are reminiscent of the middle of Britain, but it also has a leisurely feeling similar to neighboring Belgium and the not-too-distant Netherlands. The city center definitely has the architectural style of the Northern Renaissance. "Lenode" has a terrible and dirty reputation, but the locals are famous for their modesty and kindness. It is said that in the north, you will cry twice, once when you arrive and once when you leave. But, um, when you come to France, you may not dream about bricks, beer, French fries and amusement parks …
