Local tips
- Always initiate every interaction with a shopkeeper, waiter, or driver by saying 'Bonjour' to avoid being perceived as disrespectful.
- Request 'une carafe d’eau' at restaurants to receive free tap water, as bottled water is expensive and tap water is high quality.
- Keep your voice at a low volume in public spaces and on the Metro to respect the local preference for quiet environments.
- Expect to ask for the bill when you are ready to leave, as French servers consider it rude to rush guests by bringing the check unprompted.
