📣 Traveler notes

France is known for its rich blend of culture, history, world-renowned gastronomy, and diverse geography, including mountain ranges and coastlines.

Be aware of increased demand and costs during peak travel times, such as early July and early September.
Major public holidays (e.g., New Year's Day, May 1st, Bastille Day) are noted, but local observance can vary and may not affect all businesses.
When dining, use appropriate greetings (bonjour/bonsoir) and wait to be seated. While tipping is appreciated, it is not mandatory, especially if a service charge (service compris) is applied. Avoid requesting unapproved dish changes or placing elbows on the table.
