Dimanche Blanc

📣 Conseils aux voyageurs

The United States offers diverse geography, including major urban centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), natural attractions (Yellowstone, Alaska), canyon lands (Southwest), and coastlines (Pacific Northwest, Florida, Hawaii).

• Most federal offices, banks, and post offices are closed on federal holidays, though private businesses may remain open.
• Federal holidays falling on a weekend are typically observed on the nearest weekday.
• Travel hubs and stores often experience heavy crowds and congestion during the holiday season (Thanksgiving to New Year's).
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday, resulting in closures for most non-retail businesses.
• When dining, respect personal space and avoid sitting at occupied tables unless in a cafeteria or casual setting. Table manners are generally European-influenced, requiring quiet conduct. If invited to a home, bringing a small hostess gift (like wine or flowers) is customary. When leaving leftovers from a restaurant, request them 'to go' from the server.
