“Unraveling the Quirks: 10 Bizarre French Customs That Will Leave You Questioning Everything!”
First, it’s acceptable to walk around chomping on a baguette, and now it’s encouraged to have a daily afternoon pre-dinner meal. Why doesn’t America have this custom?
Their Public Bathrooms Are Disgusting
Look, any public bathroom is gross, but France takes it too far. First of all, good luck finding one. Public restrooms are few and far between, and if you think you can slip into a cafe to use you, you’ll likely end up with a hole in the ground you have to squat over.
France has made an effort to provide more public washrooms, but you have to pay to get in them. I guess French people just never pee.
You Can Marry The Dead
Continuing from weird to cringe-worthy, French people can legally marry the dead. This trend began in the 1950s when a socialite’s fiance died, but she still wanted to marry him. The socialite asked the President of France, Charles de Gaulle, for permission and he eventually said yes.
Since then, it’s remained legal to marry a dead person as long as the President approves. Legal or not, it’s creepy.
There Is No Kissing At Train Stations
Kissing is banned at train stations and on train platforms in France. Some people think it’s because it would delay people from boarding the train and mess up the schedule.
