  • 7 French Pick Up Lines (That Every Tourist Needs)

    TAG : diy
    Posted by : Daniel in What to Do

    Gay or straight or anywhere in between, I’ve got 7 French Pick Up Lines that will help you have a truly “authentic” Montreal experience…

    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
    Voo-lay voo coosh-ay a-vek mwa

    Translation: “Do you want to sleep with me?”

    The most famous French pick up line. The locals might roll their eyes, but they’ll find you endearing… the next morning.

    Est-ce que tu viens souvent ici?
    Ess-sa-kuh-too vee-en soo-von-tee-see?

    Translation: “Do you come here often?”

    Works well in any language. Perfect opening line whether delivered genuinely or slurred with gin.

    Je peux t’embrasser?
    Juh puh tom-brass-ay?

    Translation: “Can I kiss you?”

    When the night is ending, sometimes you don’t have time to beat around the bush.

    Tu veux me rejoindre au Stock Bar?
    Too vuh mah re-jwen-drah oh Stock Bar

    Translation: “Would you like to join me at Stock Bar?”

    Often we feel a need to bring a hottie to see strippers.

    T’es top ou ben bottom, toé?
    Tay TOP oo bayn BOTTOM, twa-ay?

    Translation: “Are ya a top or bottom?”

    Spoken in true joual (Quebec slang), this line will probably shock the pants off a local hot stud.

    Qu’est-ce que tu manges pour être beau de même?
    Kess-suh-kuh too mahnge por eh-tra boh de mem?

    Translation: “What are you eating to be so beautiful?”

    If you’re good, the response will be “you.”

    Je viens d’arriver à Montreal. Est-ce que tu pourrais m’indiquer le chemin jusqu’à ton appartement?
    Juh vee-en dah-ree-vay ah Montreal. Ess-suh kuh too poor-ray min-dee-kay luh shuh-men jus-kah ton ap-art-ah-men?

    Translation: “I’ve just arrived to Montreal. Could you show me the way to your apartment?”

    This is a mouthful, but really, when has that stopped you before? Zing!

    Montréal is about style. A certain romanticism that doesn’t exist anywhere else. A crossroads between European and American influences. It’s so easy to be who you want here, whether you’re straight, gay or anywhere in between. We have a general climate of acceptance. I have a fabulous job, bringing you the best of what Montréal has to offer (gay and beyond). Use me! And don’t be shy – if you see me around town, come up and introduce yourself!
