The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the cultural consumption practices of these people, using Bourdieu and Goffman’s theories as a research approach. Its goal is to give an insight of Francophile in terms of taste, capital, distinction and self-performing. According to the study, Francophile can be represented by two categories, internalization and externalization, differentiated in their views of French culture, daily lives and ways of consuming artefacts from France. The first category, internalization, shows its “Frenchness” in lifestyle and mental attitude; while the second category, externalization, collects symbols of French culture and imitates ritual behaviors of French people from books, movies and mass media.
