Hi,

Can anyone enlighten me as how how the Parisien variety of French sounds? I constantly hear that it sounds more
"dignified" or "well-enunciated", but I have no idea how this is in relation to other accents throughout France. Can
anyone give a brief rundown on how major cities in France speak French? I cannot find many examples on the
internet and would really appreciate this.

Thanks!

Yep, Parisian definitely sounds the best in my opinion. My ears died in Southern!

but what about Lyon? the girls I know from Lyon speak the most beautiful, buttery smooth language i've ever heard.

Roger Federer sounds foreign, though I couldn't say from which particular country. He has
a good command of the language, but in this clip he makes some minor mistakes.
