You are the FIRST accurate guide to good manners in Paris. Bonjour and merci will get you everywhere. Leave them out at your peril.

Not me living in France for 2 whole years and not knowing that I needed to say bon jour instead of excusez-moi when stopping someone on the street 😳

Funny because when I have attempted French in Paris they look at me and say to just speak English. Seem to be annoyed when I try to use French.

So true. “Bonjour” and “parlez vous anglais?” with an apologetic smile went such a long way.

Same in Mexico. I don’t understand why in the US people don’t greet.

Absolutely! I think this is why so many people falsely accuse the French of being rude. They don’t bother to learn, “when in France” basics.

I’m in Paris right now. Everyone warned me that Parisians are rude, but I’ve said Bonjour and Merci and they are genuinely some of the nicest people

When I lived in Spain, it was very common to say hello and have a nice day or bye-bye when you got in and out of the elevator

I want to see tourists in any country speaking the basics. If they want my money they better speak English like in any other country

Did all these things in Paris and they were the rudest people I've ever met in my travels. The rest of France we had no issues, everyone was kind.
