Since they prefer that visitors try to speak their language, even when they do not do it correctly.
If you are in your country with more tourists, would you do the same?]]> 2021-11-02 04:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/imageness2000/833v9yv4gnbsmzgi/wish/1860620993 Meal Hours https://padlet.com/imageness2000/833v9yv4gnbsmzgi/wish/1860628425 The French eat breakfast around 7.30 in the morning, have lunch at noon, and have dinner at 7.8 at night.

Remember: do not raise your voice if you are in a public place in France!]]> 2021-11-02 04:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/imageness2000/833v9yv4gnbsmzgi/wish/1860635163 Meetings #2 https://padlet.com/imageness2000/833v9yv4gnbsmzgi/wish/1860642954 In an invitation to a meeting, a delay of up to 15 minutes is considered acceptable, but not more than that. As long as it is not for eating, in which case punctuality is required. It is customary in France to bring a bottle of wine or a small gift for the hosts. It is very important to congratulate the hosts on the food. It is also customary to repeat the dish that you liked the most, without stopping eating the rest.
In your country do you usually bring gifts to meetings?]]> 2021-11-02 04:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/imageness2000/833v9yv4gnbsmzgi/wish/1860642954 Social Visits https://padlet.com/imageness2000/833v9yv4gnbsmzgi/wish/1860649449 Social visits are only made on weekends, and are never done without prior notice.
