Today, I\u2019m sharing with you, my <b>top 10 French words that English people love<\/b>! I\u2019ve traveled to many different places and met many different people. Thanks to many different conversations, I\u2019ve come up with a funny list of <b>French words that English people love<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Language is the most important aspect of society and how we communicate. It is the pillar of a functioning society. It&#8217;s what separates us but also brings us together. Every time one travels to a new country, it\u2019s always fun to learn a few words to connect to the culture you&#8217;re visiting. And we often find a few favorite words. They may be our favorites for their meaning, for the memories they bring us, or simply because they\u2019re fun to say!<\/p>\n<p>From my own experience and the people I\u2019ve been spending time with, I know that English speakers don\u2019t particularly like difficult words to pronounce. The most preferred French words are the fun ones! But also the romantic words about love. I mean\u2026 If your lover comes to you and tells you \u201c<i>Je t\u2019aime<\/i>\u201d. How can you resist, even if you\u2019re mad at him\/her? The French language is without a doubt very romantic, sexy and extremely sensual. People love it for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re curious and want to find out my <b>top 10 French words that English people love<\/b>: read on!<\/p>\n<h4>Get a &#8220;<i>bijou<\/i>&#8220;<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top10frenchwordsthatenglishpeoplelove-5.jpg\" alt=\"top10frenchwordsthatenglishpeoplelove\" width=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First on my <b>top 10 French words that English people<\/b> love is \u201c<i>bijou<\/i>\u201d. A <i>bijou<\/i> is a jewel in English. According to some of my English friends, <i>bijou<\/i> is the cutest word! And I have to agree with them.<\/p>\n<p>One of them stayed with a French family for a while once and the mother kept calling him \u201c<i>mon petit bijou<\/i>\u201d. That is why this word is so dear to him. <i>Bijou<\/i> brings to him beloved memories. If you own a <i>bijou<\/i>, you own a jewel. If you ARE a <i>bijou<\/i>, it means you are precious and someone cares for you. Who\u2019s your \u201c<i>petit bijou<\/i>\u201d?<\/p>\n<h4>Ask for a &#8220;<i>bisou<\/i>&#8220;<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/108M7gCS1JSoO4\" width=\"480\" height=\"336\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>Bisou<\/i> kind of sounds like <i>bijou<\/i>. Despite the fact that <i>bisou<\/i> means kiss. What\u2019s not to like about a <i>bisou<\/i>? French people are all about kisses. They\u2019re very social and loving people. You\u2019ll often read \u201c<i>bisou<\/i>\u201d at the end of a message from a French. <i>Bisou<\/i> is also one of the cutest words in French.<\/p>\n<h4>Tell him\/her &#8220;<i>je t&#8217;aime<\/i>&#8220;<\/h4>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" style=\"width:480px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_GlpDf6XX_j0\"><div id=\"lyte_GlpDf6XX_j0\" data-src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/GlpDf6XX_j0\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GlpDf6XX_j0\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/GlpDf6XX_j0\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video thumbnail\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:480px;margin:5px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GlpDf6XX_j0\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video on YouTube<\/a>.<\/div><\/p>\n<p>Obviously \u201c<i>je t\u2019aime<\/i>\u201d had to be on the <b>top 10 French words that English people love<\/b>. French is so romantic. To speak French is one of the best ways to seduce. It\u2019s smooth and doesn\u2019t have harsh words. To declare your love to someone by saying \u201c<i>je t\u2019aime<\/i>\u201d is pretty cool! And telling him or her \u201c<i>je t\u2019aime<\/i>\u201d will also work things out in case you guys are mad at each other!<\/p>\n<h4>A typical Â鶹APPian street: <i>Montorgueil<\/i><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top10frenchwordsthatenglishpeoplelove-1.jpg\" alt=\"top10frenchwordsthatenglishpeoplelove\" width=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<p>English people love it but also hate it! <i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/your-best-day-in-paris-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Montorgueil<\/b><\/a><\/i> is fun to say but kind of complicated to pronounce for English people. It is one of my favorite streets in Â鶹APP. It has a great atmosphere and the best places to buy traditional French products, such as cheeses, wines, traditional pastries and much more.<\/p>\n<p>During the wintertime, the street is decorated with gorgeous lights, and is a very hip dates spot! The perfect place to practice your French words for expressing love.<\/p>\n<p>I consider <i>Montorgueil<\/i> to be one of the most Â鶹APPians streets of Â鶹APP. A <b><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/your-best-day-in-paris-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Montorgueil<\/b><\/a><\/i>\u00a0 tour<\/b> is a must when in Â鶹APP if you want to know the city as the locals do. People struggle a little when trying to pronounce it but love it because it\u2019s much more different than the words they\u2019re used to. That\u2019s what makes <i>Montorgueil<\/i> so fun to say.<\/p>\n<h4><b>For the trends lovers: &#8220;<i>\u00c0 la mode<\/i>&#8220;<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top10frenchwords-thatenglish-people-love.jpg\" alt=\"top 10 French words that English people love\" width=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next on my <b>top 10 French words that English people love<\/b> is \u201c<i>\u00c0 la mode<\/i>\u201d. It means \u201ctrendy\u201d. Â鶹APP is the capital of fashion. Many of the most liked trends were born in Â鶹APP.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fashion-designers-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>greatest fashion designers<\/b><\/a> are all French, from Coco Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier to Yves Saint Laurent. We owe them a fashion revolution, such as see-through shirts and the famous \u201c<i>little black dress<\/i>\u201d. People love to use this expression. It gives a special touch to your conversations!<\/p>\n<h4>Be as elegant as: <i>Ouh la la<\/i><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/MucD1bPAFOC2I\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This expression has many different meanings. French usually say it when they like something\/someone or when someone looks very appealing: \u201c<i>Ouh la la! Quelle beaut\u00e9!<\/i>\u201d \u2013 Ouh la la! Such a beauty!.<\/p>\n<p>The expression can also be used to show sarcasm \u201c<i>Ouh la la! Tu me fais peur!<\/i>\u201d \u2013 Ouh la la! You\u2019re scaring me! , but can also be understood as a warning \u201c<i>Ouh la la ! Soyez prudent!<\/i>\u201d \u2013 Ouh la la! Be careful!.<\/p>\n<p>The expression \u201c<i>ouh la la<\/i>\u201d is actually kind of common in English language, especially when its meaning is of appreciation, for instance \u201c<i>Ouh la la! You\u2019re looking good tonight!<\/i>\u201d. It\u2019s pretty cool to say it but also to hear such an expression of compliment towards us. If someone says \u201c<i>Ouh la la<\/i>\u201d while looking at you, you can be sure you\u2019re looking good!<\/p>\n<h4>A word for the most romantic: <i>Rendez vous<\/i><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top10frenchwordsthatenglishpeoplelove-4.jpg\" alt=\"top10frenchwordsthatenglishpeoplelove\" width=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During a debate about the French language with some friends, one of them said that her favorite word was \u201c<i>rendez-vous<\/i>\u201d. She said that whenever she had the opportunity, she\u2019d use it instead of \u201cdate\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><i>Rendez-vous<\/i> is French for date. This word is loved for various reasons. First of all, we have a unique word for a date. While in English, date can mean different things. Secondly, it\u2019s much smoother and sexier. <i>Rendez-vous<\/i> sounds more special and romantic than a simple date. So, start planning <i>rendez-vous<\/i>, not dates! \u2013 joking.<\/p>\n<h4>An adjective: <i>Magnifique<\/i><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/top10frenchwordsthatenglishpeoplelove-3.jpg\" alt=\"top10frenchwordsthatenglishpeoplelove\" width=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If someone tells you \u201c<i>tu es magnifique<\/i>\u201d, you can be happy! It means \u201c<i>you\u2019re magnificent<\/i>\u201d! This word has also been selected for my <b>top 10 French words that English people love<\/b> because friends of mine told me they simply loved the way it sounds. <i>Magnifique<\/i> has a kind of sexy intonation, that\u2019s why it is so popular.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it basically defines everything about Â鶹APP. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/paris-landmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Eiffel Tower<\/b><\/a> is <i>magnifique<\/i>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/montmartre-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Montmartre<\/b><\/a> is <i>magnifique<\/i>.

Or, at least, that\u2019s the way it should be. Deep inside each of us, we all follow what our heart tells us. Love always shows us the way. We make acts of love every day. Love is what makes us human. To feel love is the best and the worst! Making it the strongest feeling ever. It\u2019s a feeling of dependency but at the same time the best kind of freedom you\u2019ve ever wished for. We do so much things <i>par amour<\/i> (out of love).<\/p>\n<p>The French language being one of the most romantic on earth, the word <i>amour<\/i> had to be on my <b>top 10 French words that English people love<\/b>!<\/p>\n<h4>A funny expression: <i>La vache!<\/i><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/5VKbvrjxpVJCM\" width=\"480\" height=\"384\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In English, this expression would mean \u201c<i>holy cow<\/i>\u201d or \u201cgee\u201d. <i>La vache!<\/i> is used to express surprise or admiration. One of my dearest friends told me it was his favorite French word. And I thought it was so unusual and so original I had to share it with you! I really wasn\u2019t expecting such a word! If you want to properly pronounce it, here follows the correct pronunciation: -va\u0283-.<\/p>\n<h4>Bonus: Take it easy, <i>C&#8217;est la vie<\/i><\/h4>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" style=\"width:480px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_TnlPtaPxXfc\"><div id=\"lyte_TnlPtaPxXfc\" data-src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/TnlPtaPxXfc\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TnlPtaPxXfc\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/TnlPtaPxXfc\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video thumbnail\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:480px;margin:5px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TnlPtaPxXfc\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video on YouTube<\/a>.<\/div><\/p>\n<p>One of the most classical phrases in French is definitely &#8220;<i>c&#8217;est la vie<\/i>&#8220;.

It&#8217;s so catchy, even people from other countries use it sometimes, especially Portuguese people.<\/p>\n<p><i>C&#8217;est la vie<\/i> translates to &#8220;that&#8217;s life&#8221; in English. Its meaning can be a simple statement that in fact life is just like it is, or it can have a deeper meaning, for example, a racional statement of someone whose heart and mind are suffering, but won&#8217;t do anything about it, simply accepting the fact that <strong>&#8220;that&#8217;s life&#8221;<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<h4>Bonus: Order a <i>Baguette<\/i> at the boulangerie<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove11.jpg\" alt=\"top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove11\" width=\"1330\" height=\"912\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove11.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove11-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove11-1024x702.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove11-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove11-816x560.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1330px) 100vw, 1330px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everybody knows the famous traditional French bread known as the <i>Baguette<\/i>. It is one of the most peculiar, yet funny words to say in French, but has not many meanings to it. <\/p>\n<p>As you may know, French people do not usually sell normal bread as seen in other parts of the world, they have a typical kind of bread called &#8220;baguette&#8221;. It is a long narrow french loaf, and has been around for over a century.<\/p>\n<p>The origin of the word comes from Latin, <i>baculum<\/i>, which later became the Italian word <i>bachetto<\/i> that means &#8220;long stick&#8221; or &#8220;pole&#8221;. Lastly arriving in France, it became the Baguette, one of the most beautiful French words and probably one of the most well known.<\/p>\n<h4>Bonus: Offer a <i>Mon Ch\u00e9ri<\/i> to declare your love<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove12.jpg\" alt=\"top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove12\" width=\"754\" height=\"394\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove12.jpg 754w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove12-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for different words for love in French, <i>mon ch\u00e9ri<\/i> is probably the most adorable one to use. It can describe your loved ones like no other word on the planet. It is similar to &#8220;dear&#8221; or &#8220;sweetheart&#8221; in English, although it has a much deeper and passionate meaning into it.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I use it a lot, not only to call my loved ones but also when someone is looking pretty or adorable. It is most definitely one of the most adorable words in French and also people from other countries love it as well. It can be heard in English movies a lot, and of course, you might know it from the famous chocolate candy &#8220;Mon Ch\u00e9ri&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>As opposed to English, where you can use almost any word directed either to a man or a woman: in French, &#8220;<i>mon Ch\u00e9ri<\/i>&#8221; is applied only to men. As for women, you would have to say &#8220;<i>ma Ch\u00e9rie<\/i>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<h4>Bonus: <i>Coup de Gr\u00e2ce<\/i><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove14.jpg\" alt=\"top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove14\" width=\"1491\" height=\"838\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove14.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove14-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove14-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove14-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/top10frenchwordsenglishpeoplelove14-816x459.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1491px) 100vw, 1491px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This word has been around the English vocabulary since the late seventeenth century.
