about

Supermarkets - in case you shop for food in france you will notice the supermarkets have all of their massive rolling carts outside in a designated area and they're locked to one another. In order to utilize a cart you must place one EUR in the cart itself, you will notice the slot on the handle. on leaving the supermarket you latch the cart back to the other carts and pull the gizmo out where you placed the coin, now you can retrieve your coin. When you have all of the food you need, proceed to the check-out counter. You will must purchase plastic bags to put the food in or you can take one in yourself. in case you select to purchase one they're usually visible at the counter and normally only cost a few cents. If there's a long line do not put all your food in the bag, put them back into the cart and bag them away from the line.

Restaurants and Bars - You do not get water at no cost, you need to pay for it. in case you order water you will get carbonated water. In most restaurants you can request tap water and they may or may not charge you but it is most likely straight from the sink. In some American fast food restaurants, (i.e. McDonalds) you must pay for ketchup as well. Be aware that the menus at most fast food restaurants in france are not the exact same. You may also notice that a sandwich that you recognize from back home may taste a tiny different or it could be smaller. When you enter a restaurant you will not be seated, walk right in and pick the table of your choice!- the tip ought to be much smaller than you would give in the States (this is because the waiters/waitresses get paid over in the states) A tip of eight or eight EUR would be thought about a nice tip for excellent service.

Closing hours - On Sunday everything is closed except for some restaurants, bars, gas stations and shops at the main train station and bigger airports. Some bigger stores are realizing that they can make much extra money in the event that they open on Sunday so they're doing that, but I would not depend on it. in the work of the week shops in bigger cities close at 8 PM at the latest. You may even see shops in smaller cities closing even earlier.
