Am I going to stick out in France? |
I'm a female, size 10/12, 5'7", so relatively taller. I'm going to France in about a month, and I was wondering if I would stick out because of my size? I'm definitely not fat, (I'm in the Army, so I'm not overweight) but I'm just not very thin. I'm just a little nervous that I'll be much larger than the other young women there (I'm 17).

No. No no no no no. You are fine. I've been to france. You won't stick out. It's if you talk to someone then you stick out...like if you speak french then they appreciate the effort but if you don't they sort of turn their noses up. |

Nobody will think that you're French, but that'll be as much because you dress, talk, and move like an American as because you're tall. Don't worry about it. Foreigners have been visiting France since the Romans arrived 2000 years ago, and they're used to us.
Contrary to stereotype, French people are perfectly nice, particularly if you learn a few words of the language (enough for them to say, "oh, that's OK, we speak English") and appreciate France for what it is rather than complaining that it's not just like the US, which fortunately for all of us, it definitely is not. Try new foods, visit beautiful places, and enjoy your visit. Some years ago I visited France with my girlfriend who was taller than you and we had a great time. |

I was just in France recently and you'll be fine! Contrary to belief the french people are very nice and come in all shapes and sizes just like everyone else in the world. Yes they'll know you're not French. (Oddly enough I can even pick out those who are not french =P) but it's no big deal even if you speak french your accent will give it away. Just go there have fun and enjoy the cultural experience!! |

No, you won't stick out at all!!
French people generally don't have any other massive cultural differences in thoughts or anything than the rest of the Western world. |

Your Beautiful the way you are. If you feel comfortable in your own body, people will feel the energy thats coming from you. so in other words dont worry about it. |

5'7'' is 1m74, it's tall but clearly not unusual. My mother is 1m73 and she used to claim she was "too" tall, but the average size of french women has gone up like everywhere else and at 1m65 (5'4) I'm beginning to feel a little short... especially among younger generations.
The average height of the french women is still arounf 1m62, but rapidly growing. |
