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!

French-canadian accent : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lB-AX8_lSA&feature=related
Acadian accent : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKTGwzVmSJU
Belgian accent : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oQXUqbgBTE

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.
