Paul Taylor an English comedian living in France speaks with humor of his obsession for la bise, a very particular French tradition.
The worst is when at work every morning you have to do la bise to every coworker, of course it’s nice, but when there’s about 50 persons,…
The other problem is when you live in south of France (Montpellier for example, 3 bises!) and you go to a work meeting in Paris (only 2 bises).
So what happens? The third bise goes to the wind!!! Because Parisians always remove their heads…
Awkward, but sometimes it’s funny and can help connecting with people you don’t know.
