I’m forever seeking inspiration to live a more French-inspired life. Books, films, blogs and of course, YouTube channels. Here are several I have found to be especially interesting and inspiring. Enjoy!
Francophile YouTube Channels
Whether they are hosted by a “genuine” French person or someone who has moved to France and embraced the lifestyle, YouTube channels can offer so much inspiration for the Francophile.
For each of the YouTube channels shared here, I’ve included the channel description and a representative video I’ve especially enjoyed.
