📣 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.
