✨ 5 ways to make the French love you—or at least not hate you:
1️⃣ Say bonjour whenever you enter a shop or restaurant. Bonus points for adding Madame or Monsieur.
2️⃣ Wear real clothes. Gym attire = tourist = pickpocket target, and you look foolish.
3️⃣ Book reservations in advance. Walking in is rolling the dice.
4️⃣ Be patient with servers—they won’t hover, and you need to ask for water or the check. But please don’t wave your arms at them!
5️⃣ Inside voices only, please.

It’s not hard—just a little culturally-aware politeness and mindfulness go a long way!

Thanks David for letting us film at Carousel, Lyon’s coolest new wine bar!

  1. Trying to teach me etiquette and implying that the place is worth the effort while also speaking about pickpockets is such an oxymoron.
