📣 Conseils aux voyageurs

The United States features highly diverse geography, encompassing major urban centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), national parks (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), and various coastal and canyon landscapes (e.g., Florida, Hawaii).

• Federal holidays often cause non-retail government offices (e.g., post offices, banks) to close.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, observances may shift to the nearest weekday.
• The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' which can increase crowds in transportation and retail areas.
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday, resulting in the closure of most non-retail businesses.
• Private businesses retain discretion regarding the observance of federal holidays.
• Travelers should plan for extended travel times during holiday periods.
• Reservations are preferred when dining. Table manners are generally European-influenced, emphasizing controlled chewing and conversational volume. It is acceptable to request leftover food to take out. When visiting a private residence, bringing a small hostess gift is appreciated, though not mandatory for serving with the meal.
