Why should you be angry because you can’t eat early in a French restaurant? It’s a cultural aspect of the country. French people are Latin and as such we dine much later (but much earlier than Spanish) than in the US or Great Britain. I lived 10 years in the US and was chocked that restaurants close so early at 9 pm. But you know what, the US is not going to change their culture because in my native country it is different. When you decide to move in a foreign country you need to adapt to the new culture and not expect that this country is going to change its culture for you. If not why should you even bother traveling if you want that France is like in Great Britain? I’m confused here.

The host is French, grew up there, and he wasn’t angry about having dinners late, he just mentioned that culturally it is common to eat at restaurants later than what Americans may be used to. He mentioned that as a father with young kids, it is less convenient to eat out at night when you are a parent with young kids. I didn’t sense any anger at all, just a statement of the fact that there are differences you need to expect.

Hi there. I’m an American married for decades to a 🇫🇷 guy . We are looking at retiring at least half the year in France. I’m a retired lawyer & feel pretty confident when reviewing immigration matters. We are about a year away from making the decision, but are already looking at properties in 🇫🇷. I speak French probably at the B2 level on a good day, but the 3 hour dinners (!) wear me down, so I’m unsure. My husband (an optimist) says I’m 3 months away from being fluent if the 3 months are in France. I’d be interested in hiring you for the visa process- we have had the Livret de Famille forever from the DC Consulate, but I am concerned about two things in deciding whether it’s worth the effort: 1. How hard is the language test; & 2: While I have no major health issues, what is the health exam like for older applicants. Thanks.

Gosh, we don’t spend three hours for every dinner ! Only for gatherings and special occasions. During the week, 30 minutes or one hour for the dinner is the average because young children go usually to sleep at 8:30 pm. For learning French, you can master the French pronunciation in a matter of three months which should help you to be understood and have a very nice pronunciation in French. At least it is what my American students achieve. If you are interested in the language, the people and the culture you can improve your French pretty quickly.
