My true story of the day!

🚧 TRAPPED at the TOLL – a true motorway mystery 🚧

Today I had a very “interesting” experience at the péage in Moissac…
Pulled up to pay my toll like a good citizen, popped my card into the machine… and it promptly swallowed it whole.
Then, as if to add insult to injury — the barrier closed behind me. I was officially imprisoned in a concrete rectangle of doom. 😳

There I sat for 45 minutes, stuck in my little toll booth prison, while someone was dispatched all the way from Toulouse to free me (and return my hostage card). The lovely lady even said I didn’t have to pay the €6 toll, as a sort of emotional compensation, I assume. 🥲

I have no idea why the machine betrayed me. Was it the heat? Was it my card’s bad attitude? Was I meant to learn something? Probably.

Lesson learned: Always pack snacks in case of tollbooth incarceration.
Or maybe: Sometimes you just have to wait it out and hope someone from Toulouse has your back. 😂

🇫🇷✨ French Slang Spotlight: "Kif-kif"
Ever heard a French speaker say “C’est kif-kif” and wondered what it means?

📌 It’s slang for “same thing” or “no difference.”
🟰 Think: same same, it’s all the same to me, or potato, potahto.

👄 Example:
– Tu préfères le thé ou le café ?
– Bof, kif-kif.
(Do you prefer tea or coffee? Meh, same difference.)

👉 Fun fact: It comes from Arabic "kif-kif", meaning exactly the same. A great example of how languages borrow from each other! 🌍💬

🌼 Did you know the French don’t just admire acacia flowers — they eat them too? 😲🇫🇷

In spring, locals harvest these fragrant blossoms (known as fleurs d’acacia) and turn them into crispy, delicious fritters (beignets d’acacia). Think: tempura meets floral heaven. 🍯

A seasonal treat passed down through generations — straight from the tree to the frying pan!

Would you try them? 👀

😂 Think your high school French will get you through? Think again...

One expat asked for preservatifs at the pharmacy — expecting preservatives. They got... condoms. 😳🥒

Another proudly told their new French neighbor they were excité to meet them... which sounded a lot more flirty than intended. 😬💋

French is a beautiful language… until it embarrasses you in public!

🔥 Got a boiler in your French home? You’re legally obliged to maintain it — oui, really! 🇫🇷🛠️

In France, annual boiler servicing isn’t optional — it’s required by law for safety, efficiency, and insurance coverage. Whether gas, oil, or wood, it must be inspected by a certified professional.

🧾 Skipping it? You could face issues with insurance if something goes wrong.

Stay warm, stay legal — get that check-up!

📡 Bye-bye ADSL! France is saying au revoir to its old copper internet network. 🇫🇷

The traditional ADSL system is being phased out to make way for faster, more reliable fiber connections. 🧵⚡ By 2030, the copper lines will be gone — and some areas are already switching off!

🔌 What it means for you:
If you're still on ADSL, it’s time to look into fiber or 4G/5G options before the lights go out on your line.

🌿 Ever been offered Tilleul tea in France? Don’t expect a citrusy zing — it’s not lime, it’s linden! 🇫🇷
