At first glance, it’s bold. Maybe even a little cheeky.
But behind our signature phrase - “Not Arrogant, Just French” - lies the very essence of what French Abroad Paris stands for: confidence, culture, and humor with a touch of elegance.
It’s Not About Arrogance - It’s About Attitude
Let’s be honest - the French have a reputation. From fashion to philosophy, from cuisine to art, the world often sees France as proud, a little mysterious, and sometimes… a bit too sure of itself.
But here’s the truth: that confidence isn’t arrogance. It’s assurance. It’s knowing who you are, where you come from, and what you love - whether it’s good coffee, timeless fashion, or the perfect baguette.
“Not Arrogant, Just French” flips the stereotype into something empowering - a celebration of French culture, charm, and self-expression.
A Celebration of Identity
The slogan isn’t just for Parisians. It’s for anyone who carries that French spirit - wherever they go.
For the French student in New York, the expat in London, or the traveler in Tokyo who still says bonjour to the barista - it’s a reminder that your roots are something to be proud of.
Even abroad, the French identity shines through: in your style, your humor, and your love for the little things that make life beautiful.

From a Phrase to a Movement
What started as a witty line on a T-shirt has become one of French Abroad Paris’ most iconic pieces.
Wearing “Not Arrogant, Just French” is more than fashion - it’s a statement. It’s confidence wrapped in cotton, humor stitched into every seam, and a wink to the world that says, we don’t take ourselves too seriously… but we do it in style.

Why It Matters
In a world that moves fast, our slogan reminds you to slow down and enjoy the simple things - good food, good coffee, and good company - the French way.
It’s about bringing a bit of that Parisian attitude wherever you are - with class, comfort, and a smile.
“Not Arrogant, Just French” isn’t just a T-shirt.
It’s an identity, a mindset, and a tribute to that unmistakable French flair that turns simplicity into style.
Wear it. Own it. Live it - à la française.
