Quiz: How French Are You?

Here at St Pierre, we adore the French lifestyle – from the delicious cuisine, to the beautiful landscapes and everything else in between. But what does the nation think of it?

In our latest study we’ve discovered that half of Americans dream of living the French lifestyle, with the top reasons being because of the landmarks, restaurants and pastries.

In our research of 3,000 adults we found that…

• Over half (55%) feel that the French way of life is better.
• Almost a third dream of living it and would consider moving there
• Americans consider the French lifestyle to be fashionable (41%), cultured (39%) and relaxed (37%).
• Nearly two thirds of adults believe they have taken inspiration from the French lifestyle already, when it comes to their fashion, interest in artwork and their cooking skills.

While most of us might dream of living life like the French do, have you ever wondered how much you’re already doing it? Take our St Pierre How French Are You quiz below to find out.

Here’s what else we discovered in our research and how you can live the French lifestyle from the comfort of your own home with St Pierre’s range of magnifique brioche…

A Taste Of Paris

Our study, which was  carried out via OnePoll ahead of National Brioche Day – St Pierre’s annual celebration of brioche – found that 37% think of France as a ‘foodie country’, with croissants, champagne and brioche named the best items to come out of the country.

Turns out food is also one of the biggest reasons Americans want to live in France, with some of the top reasons being to enjoy dining out, visiting cafes and coffee shops and eating brioche.

Many of us are already enjoying foods which originated from across the channel, with croissants, Dijon mustard and brioche among the most popular foods.
