The French are largely patriotic, so learning a little about their language and culture goes along way. It helps a lot if you can speak a little French. You don't need much. A simple Merci ( thanks) Au reviour ( bye ) and c'est combien ( what does it cost ) will do for starters. If want to impress them , add Monsieur or Madame with the merci or Au reviour. The extra bit of courtesy goes down really well. Please note it is not unusual for a sit down meal to last two hours or more. For the French, eating is a serious business, so sit back, watch the French and enjoy your meal.
