What holds true across the country

Say hello first

Walking into a shop without 'bonjour' changes how you are treated. That is not an exaggeration.

Kitchens close between lunch and dinner

Roughly 2:30 to 7pm. In that window you need a café or a brasserie.

Tap water is free if you ask for it by name

'Une carafe d'eau'.

The tip is in the bill

That is what 'service compris' means. The coins are plenty.

Getting between cities

The TGV is quick

Paris to Lyon is two hours, Marseille three, Nice six.

Book early

The same train can be four times dearer on the day than a month out.

Paris airport taxis are fixed price

Charles de Gaulle 56 or 65 euro, Orly 36 or 44. Refuse a driver who wants the meter.

Words that keep the night simple

If the words will not come, show the screen. Zoom puts the local script full-screen, which works better than speaking in a noisy taxi.
