Don\u2019t Expect Overly Friendly Service<\/h3>\n<p>Parisian waiters and shopkeepers aren\u2019t known for being overly warm or chatty.<\/p>\n<p>Their focus is on doing their job well, not on creating a personal connection.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t mistake this professionalism for rudeness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>10. Don\u2019t Expect Servers to Bring the Check Automatically<\/h3>\n<p>In Paris, waiters won\u2019t bring the check until you ask for it.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re ready to leave, politely say, \u201cL\u2019addition, s\u2019il vous pla\u00eet,\u201d to signal you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>11. Don\u2019t Expect Free Water at Restaurants<\/h3>\n<p>In Paris, water isn\u2019t automatically brought to your table like in some countries.<\/p>\n<p>If you want free tap water, you need to specifically ask for \u201cune carafe d\u2019eau.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, the waiter may assume you want bottled water, which comes at a cost and can add up quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>12. Don\u2019t Block Sidewalks or M\u00e9tro Entrances<\/h3>\n<p>Paris is a fast-moving city, and standing in the middle of a sidewalk or M\u00e9tro entrance, especially for photos, will frustrate locals trying to get by.<\/p>\n<p>Always step aside if you need to stop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>13. Don\u2019t Forget to Validate Your M\u00e9tro or Train Tickets<\/h3>\n<p>Before boarding, you must validate your ticket in the designated machines.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to do so can result in fines if caught by inspectors, even if you have a valid ticket.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>14. Don\u2019t Overtip at Restaurants<\/h3>\n<p>Service charges are included in restaurant bills in Paris, so tipping isn\u2019t expected the same way as in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re happy with the service, leaving a small amount (1\u20132 euros or even 5 euros in fancier restaurants) is appreciated but not required.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>15. Don\u2019t Assume All Caf\u00e9s Are Authentic<\/h3>\n<p>Some caf\u00e9s, especially near tourist-heavy areas, cater specifically to visitors and lack the charm of traditional Parisian spots.<\/p>\n<p>Do a little research to find authentic establishments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>16. Don\u2019t Be Loud or Disruptive in Public Spaces<\/h3>\n<p>Parisians value quiet and calm in public spaces like the M\u00e9tro, parks, and caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking loudly or drawing too much attention can come across as disrespectful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visiting Paris is a dream for many, but to truly enjoy the city, it\u2019s important to know what to do\u2014and what to avoid.
