Hello there! So, as the title says, I need some help from someone that has grown up in France...
I'm currently writing a pokèmon crossover where one of the main character is from the Kalos region, which was heavily inspired by the northern part of the France, so the city and most of the people met there, as well as the buidlings and so on are named after French words.
I would greatly appreciate if someone were willing to give me tips about tipical french sayings, exclamations, quirks and french singers/bands, so to help me flesh out the character in the best way possible.

Thanks in advance!

Well... I'm not from France, but I've been to Paris multiple times and I've had French in school, so I can tell you some things for sure:

Allons-Y! - (Allonz-e) Let's Go!
Pourqoui? - (Pourqwah) Why?
Parce-que - (Parseke) Because...
Je ne parle pas français - (she ne parle pah fransé) - I don't speak french
je parle français - I speak French
oui - yes
non- no

Buildings:
Le tour eiffel - the Eiffel tower
Les champs élisée
Louvre (museum)

Bands/music:
Stromae

It will be useful, thanks! If I ever have any question, can I ask you?

Sure! But keep in mind, I'm not a French expert. I'll help you the best I can.
