So, I am looking for differences from American culture to French culture. We are going to DLP in September..
I was reading a post where someone commented about pushy aggressive people in line at the Eiffel Tower elevator. From past experiences, Americans and Brits tend to queue up by custom, where other countries do not have such etiquette or social norms. It’s just different, not right not wrong just different.
Line jumping is a big pet peeve of mine, so I am to prepare myself so I know what other differences to expect. I am trying to learn a bit of French too but I know my accent will be horrible.
What advice do you have so we do not stick out like sore thumbs? I was reading stuff online, and I have traveled a bit, been to Germany, Spain, Italy, England and a bit with private tour guides in France.
When I was in France, it was on a cruise so we only got 3 days. We also did one day in Paris as part of a UK trip. I left like a fish out of water. England, Italy Spain and Germany were easy, but for some reason France intimidates me! Thanks for any advice you can give.
