Sacha Cohen emphasizes that France operates heavily on relationships and connections, advising newcomers to network and build social circles. This approach is crucial for everything from finding housing to getting recommendations for services like hairdressers or doctors, making 'who you know' a significant factor.
“A lot of what happens in France, takes place because of the relationships that you have. Oh, yeah. It's a relationship-driven culture.”
“And so the stronger the relationships you have, the wider your net, more people you know, the more people trust you, it sort of makes things a little bit easier.”
“And we are a people that work by relationships, if the way you operate is completely online, and you're not comfortable meeting people and talking to people, France might not be for you because here, it's really about meeting people.”
