The Czech Republic and the French Republic are both situated in the European continent and only one other country lays between them. Geographically are very close, however, culturally are very different. At the first glance, the distinctions might not be so significant. However, commonly after the arrival, a foreign student experiences misunderstandings, inconvenient situations and cultural shock due to the lack of knowledge of the unfamiliar culture. Therefore, it is essential to understand the differences in order to successfully integrate and ease the stay while studying abroad. This Bachelor thesis concentrates on cultural standards of Alexander Thomas and how they influence everyday life of the Czech students in France. The main aim is to define the Czech-French cultural standards and compare them with the theory. Also, the standards will be applied on the historic-cultural aspects.
