Some do's and don'ts if you ever wish to visit France!

                                           Do's!

> Do learn some French
-it is helpful when asking for directions, or certain things about France, such as interesting places to go, it also helps you let them know that you don't speak French (if all you want to learn is the notification that you can't speak French).

> Do follow proper table manners
-they take manners very seriously in France, even down to the smallest of details (holding fork in left hand, knife in right, napkin in lap)

> Do be prepared to pay to use the toilet when in Paris
-it is about 2 francs to do so.water is also expensive (about 20-30 francs for a 1/4 liter bottle)

> Do go see Chateau de Versaille
-mostly my opinion.

> Do give presents to your friends in France
-give them in odd numbers, but not 13 (it is considered unlucky)


                                        Don'ts
> Do not shake hands.
- the French prefer the small kiss on each cheek.

> Do not speak English to Frenchmen
- they are proud of their language, and it is respectful to speak to them in their language.

> Do not present red carnations.
- these flowers are a sign of bad will in France.

> Do not complain about slow service in cafes.
- the slow service is to promote relaxation and is part of the experience in their culture.

> Do not start eating unless the waitress says "bon appetit"
- do not eat too much on the first course, try and not leave food on your plate, and don't eat with your fingers.
