Because 15% minimum of the price you pay is already reserved for the "service", meaning the waiter, waitress, and they are paid with a salary, not only with tips. Tipping in France is only if you find the service particularly kind and friendly.
@@Justme-t7j je suis parisienne aussi mais je me demande pourquoi tous les parisiens ont besoin de le dire quand ils se présentent ? Personnellement j’ai jamais fait ça 😅.
Saying "Bonjour" to people with a rising tone is the key to have a great experience in France. In a shop, it means you care about the worker there and that they should care about you in return. Around your neighbourhood it means you are showing respect and might be open to talk. If you don't say Bonjour to people it is beeing rude to them so don't expect any specific respect or great experience from them as you started the rumble 🎉 Also don't forget the Merci at the end with a rising tone if you plan to get back there ornis willing people to think you were a nice person 👌 Also GMA it would be interresting to show differences with the rest of France on that specific subject.
@@shizukagozen777 this is just a cultural difference 👌 In the US this is not such a big deal not to say that. People will depend on kindness of the tzlk. When visiting a country you have to know those differences and act accordingly. Going to the US and not tipping is a problem for lots of Europeans for instance 😁 In some country finishing your plate is rude (showing you did not had enough and that your host was a bad host) and in others not finishing it is rude (showing you did not like it that much and that your host was indeed a bad host). Don't mess up who does what 😅
@@testman9541 It's not, not being able to use the basics of politeness such as "Hello", "Thank you", "etc", is just weird. Having to need to be reminded that decent people should use these simple words is even worse especially when little kids can use them without having to be constantly reminded... No matter where I'd go, I'll never drop my education just because local people prefer to ignore education.
She's right those words are really important. I can assure you, that the people who complain about the french being "rude" are the ones who dosn't use those words.
Exactly. I've lived in France as a student for 2 years now, and whenever some foreigner comes up to me without any hello/excuse me (whether in French or English), it comes across as fucking rude and I have less desire to be nice or go the extra mile for them. It's just basic etiquette at this point; and it shouldn't be exclusive in France; you greet people hello in the language of their country.
In France, we don't have to "tip" because OH THE GREAT THING IS that employees are PAID and protected with medical care (not like in some countries...). They are not paid only by tips fortunately ! They have a salary like everyone is working. We tip for the pleasure of giving. All work deserves pay ! Have a nice day and welcome ! 💐
Tips (and speaking of 1-2€ regardless of your purchasing amount) do exist in France, but only to reward a particularly nice waiter, or your hairdresser. Other than that it is very uncommon
2 Hours lunch break?? seriously, its rare, most of the time 45 minutes to 1 hour!! I agree with " bonjour" and " bonsoir" : its essential , a rule here, and above all a polite way to start communication, dont miss it!!u add a little smile, and ask what u want....And u have the right code in the right order...
If I can also say something about Frenchness, I lived with French people for 2 weeks for an extreme crash course of French, I learned that complaining may be common, but it's realistic. No way are we going to be please with everything, and we shouldn't accept thing as the are if they aren't ideal. And I feel like even if « ça va » translates to "how's it going," the nuances between languages are difference. The French will expect to expect for you to explain « comment ça va » because it's not a greeting; it's a genuine question that starts conversation.

One thing i like in my country : there are no tips. In the US it’s really à headache to understand how much you have to give in restaurants, bars, taxis etc etc.😊😊😊
People are paid paid fairly in France and do not rely on the public to pay their wages through tipping. Employers take care of their staff. If someone has gone above and beyond their job, or out of their way, then a few euros extra would be alright but not expected. Completely opposite to the American culture of tipping, which is truly out of control and asinine
We don't tip much in France, it's not really expected, and we don't take two-hour lunch breaks anymore. I only take half an hour so I can go home early and some people do eat a sandwich in front of their computer. If I go to a nearby restaurant, I'll take a 45 minutes lunch break. Anyway, I hope all the tourists are enjoying their stay in France, we're not that mean! :)
Totally agree on lunch duration. Regarding tips, service is always included in the price of meals, it is written on menu and on the bill, so waiters always get paid even if no tip. Now, when we are pleased by the service, we give a tip as a bonus 😊
2 hour lunches. Yeah we need that here in the USA Also the closing down after lunch to prepare for dinner is nice. Freshly prepared food takes time to prep.
Don't worry, 99% of people in France don't have 2 hour lunches, not even managers. But we usually do have a 1 hour break. I don't know where this woman has seen such a thing...
Oh, and about the closing down after lunch is quite annoying for the workers because you work from 10-11 AM to 3 or almost 3 PM then you start again around 6 PM till between midnight and 2 AM. As someone who worked in this field, this is not a life, trust me.
2 Hour Lunch Breaks is a VERY "EMILY IN PARIS"-like take on French etiquette and culture. I strongly doubt H&M store employees, supermarket cashiers, and McDonald's employees in France are taking 2 hour lunch breaks.
in france you tip because you think the service deserves more than normal. the waiters are paid a linving wage, it is part of the bill, if you want to thank them for a really good job, then you tip.
Absolutely,,, quality time together and take a good break to enjoy a nice meal in a beautiful Cafe,,, preferably near ""pont d'Alma "" ,my favorite spot in Paris.
There's no percentage rule as far as tipping goes, so idk where that french woman got that 10% idea from. Must be a Parisian thing. Regular french people tip when the service was good and they just give whatever change they can find.
Nope, that's not even a Parisian thing. 😂😂😂 She probably had something to tell on the tip matter and figured out that 10% was an ok answer but that's just her opinion and eventually the one of her relatives too but she looks very bourgeoise, so...
As a French, I would like to clarify that the notion of taking an hour or two for lunch is an outdated stereotype. The majority of French people typically allocate between 45 minutes to an hour for their lunch break. Additionally, it is not customary for us to dine at cafés during this time. Instead, many of us prefer to bring our own food to work or purchase a quick meal.
it s not complaining , it's disatisfaction, not the same..and if disatisfaction is not corrected or explained by the other side with facts/logics => strike, complaining is more a passive attitude and u leave the destiny to sort it out.....disatisfaction is pro-active.
Waiters and waitresses earn a salary so any tipping comes on top of that. Still, they will enjoy it. One happy Uber driver got a €100 tip from an American tourist for a fare which amounted to €50. He made the news.
Paris offers foreign tourists exceptional monuments. But to meet people who are very friendly, it is better to go to the provinces. In the south-west (Aquitaine and Occitanie) in particular. To the monuments you will add wonderful landscapes (ocean and mountains Pyrenees) wild and natural.

Cette diversité géographique n'existe pas ailleurs où il y a bien sûr des coins remarquables et des gens accueillants. Mais il y a aussi des coins horribles.

@@a.f.4977it's not the majority but still, people do it in France. Not comparable to the US sure, but saying that French people always take huge lunch break is bs nowadays. Those "experts" are just trying to sell foreigners a postcard image of France that doesn't always align with reality...
@@gigiatlas2364 Tipping is not mandatory; now you can tip whenever you want too, not only if really beyond expectations. Though if the service is not good usually we don't tip (in Paris at least) and I don't when I feel the service was not satisfying (though I have low expectations in Paris as a parisian ;) ) Then tipping of 10% sounds quite a lot depending on the bill; tipping is usually 1 or 2 euros in cafes (nothing if you have actually just one coffee); lets say if you have a bill from 10 to 50 EUR you would tip around 1 to 2 eur (roughly); if the bill is more then up to you and your own wallet but as said there are no rules
Laisser un pourboire dépend de la façon dont on vous a élevé, et la transmission des us et coutumes. Traditionnellement, on laisse un pourboire. Mais c'est effectivement une coutume qui se perd de plus en plus.

We usually tip 1 or 2 € if we enjoyed the service but it's not compulsary at all. We can also enjoy meal and service and don't leave a tip, it's not an offence as the bill includes the servers' salary.
tu plaisantes j'espère ? In the workplace, 43% of French people take more than 45 minutes for lunch (Ideal meal survey), and well over an hour at the weekend!
@@chrisrobert5252 tes chiffres parlent contre toi :) 43% means it is not the majority... and more than 45 minutes doesn't mean 2 hours !! On the week-end, it means not during working hours ;)
Exactly what I was thinking... they seem to be kiki-ing about something in this segment amongst the hosts/crew that viewers don't seem to be clued in on
So... - lunch break at a company takes one hour - "enjoy the present", "slow down": no, Paris is the most stressful and most fast-paced French city - US TV, ask some ordinary French people and you'll understand why you don't "get it" - Americans, go to Lyon, Toulouse , Bordeaux, Nantes, Rennes, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Lille, for starters. Then go to the smaller big cities, then medium cities, then smaller ones, then villages... And you'll perhaps start understanding how France works (please don't only stay in Paris, or go the other arrondissements and to the rest of Ile-de-France, to 92, 93, 94, 95, 77, 91...), stop being noobs when it comes to France..
C' est amusant, il manque le 78. Avec des villes emblématiques pour la vie "rêvée" et la vie beaucoup moins rêvée de quelques quartiers. Then about lunchtime, it all depends.

Hello from France, two hours of lunch between 12:00 and 14:00 no... On the other hand, in a 24-hour day, the French like to take their time, which means that there is a certain moment when they will stop to eat with their friends on a terrace with their family. The French like to take their time. A day a day of 24 hours there will automatically be time given for breakfast the children's snack dinner or being with friends drinking an aperitif the French like to take their time.And the French are more grumblers than pessimists because when they grumble, we think they are pessimistic, but I simply think that we will like them in the rain or in the good weather, we grumble about everything, about everyone. THANKS
As a french : tips, "pourboure" is really not mandatory, and doesn't amount in percentage but more with whatver coin you have (1/2€) when you are satisfied. Also France != Paris. Thd girl that teach you 4 words seems like the most Parisian girl i've ever seen. Really don't take that bullshit, Paris is not a nice city anymore, and we are not like this girl
Bonjour from the south of France. Hmmmm, 2 hours for lunch, so during the work break, it's false or in any case very exaggerated... I don't know in what social world the Parisian woman who tells at your (so pretty ^^) journalist in France that lives. 😅 After you often make the mistake foreigners, especially the US, of generalizing Paris to the whole rest of France. Paris is 3 million inhabitants, France is 70 million, you must not forget the habits of the 67 million other French people who can be slightly or even very different from those in Paris. For the midday meal during the work break, we take rather one hour. One hour is already a lot I think for an US. ^^ On the other hand it's true that we won't quickly eat a sandwich, we go around a table and we take the opportunity to talk and take the time to live with friends. The 2 hour meals are rather in the evening at home with family, or the weekends where there it can even last more than two hours with the "apéro" before. ^^ And so it's not during work days. QED
@@fafaser38 The majority of businesses and administrations are closed for lunch time in France. 1h, 1h"30or 2h, as time still open but with very less employees. What's told in the video is absolutely correct, it isn't by no means a french thing to eat a sandwich at work. And there's a legal obligation to have the exact work shedule printed and in clear wiew at the work place. BTW I'm french.
So 'Parisian centered' !!! i wonder if Parisians (let alone tourists) do even know that there is a country around them called 'France' that is miles away from all these stupid clichés.
Il faut arrêter avec les "Parisiens", ou alors être précis. Seuls 30% des Parisiens sont nés à Paris. Cela veut dire que 70% viennent d'ailleurs. D'abord de la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, ensuite de la Nouvelle Aquitaine puis du Grand Est. Paris est une ville d'émigration, peuplée par toutes les régions de France. Je suis Parisien, et lors des vacances, autour de moi la majorité de mes amis disent : je descends dans ma famille dans le Cantal, en Savoie, en Auvergne, en Bretagne, etc, etc… Alors oui, les "Parisiens" connaissent bien ce qu'il y a autour, puisqu'ils en viennent 🙂
@@heliedecastanet1882oui vous avez totalement raison...sauf qu'ils oublient très vite d'où ils viennent. Il suffit de voir tous les étés ,les incivilités urbaines arriver . Je ne parle même pas des néo ruraux qui viennent souvent "polluer " nos campagnes.
@@ericbezagu8451 Ah, je ne saurais pas vous dire qui oublie quoi, n'ayant aucune étude ou statistique sous les yeux pour me permettre d'affirmer quoi que ce soit 🙂 Quant à la "pollution" des campagnes, je parlerais plutôt de cohabitations parfois compliquées et d'adaptation nécessaire. Parfois la greffe prend très bien ; parfois, pas du tout ou très mal. Les néoruraux doivent apprendre à comprendre le milieu dans lequel ils s'installent. Certains y parviennent ; d'autres pas ou peu. Mais la vraie pollution de nos si jolies campagnes, je pense que Monsanto et tout le secteur agro-alimentaire soutenu par la FNSEA (ici, une pensée émue pour la Bretagne et ses journalistes d'investigation menacés par l'industrie agro-alimentaire) peuvent en parler mieux que nous 🙂
As french we never tip with percentage in mind. We usually tip with coin, It's usually 1 or 2€ , that's the biggest amount for a coin we have.
@@katentu Because "pourboire" means literally "to have a drink" hence just an amount so that people could get a glass of wine/beer 🥂

Definitively no 10% tip in France, wherever. We can leave sometimes the change at a café or a bar (
10% tiping in France is the max. And no tiping is perfectly acceptable.
no max, u give what u want!!
"we don't take our lunchbreak in front of our computer with a sandwich"
me a french who did that yesterday🧐
You’re not a real one then
@@a.f.4977it's not the majority but still, people do it in France. Not comparable to the US sure, but saying that French people always take huge lunch break is bs nowadays.
Those "experts" are just trying to sell foreigners a postcard image of France that doesn't always align with reality...
We do more than often...Or give a phone call or anything else (an appointment at the dentist 's ,,)
@@Ustamika you must be on a rush or do not like food, cooking and be rich 😁 or you would have brought your own Gamelle at least 🥂
Tipping or 'pourboire' is NOT expected in France !
french people dont tip unless service is really beyond expectations
Tellement pas vrai. Honte à toi si c'est ton attitude
@@gigiatlas2364 Tipping is not mandatory; now you can tip whenever you want too, not only if really beyond expectations. Though if the service is not good usually we don't tip (in Paris at least) and I don't when I feel the service was not satisfying (though I have low expectations in Paris as a parisian ;) ) Then tipping of 10% sounds quite a lot depending on the bill; tipping is usually 1 or 2 euros in cafes (nothing if you have actually just one coffee); lets say if you have a bill from 10 to 50 EUR you would tip around 1 to 2 eur (roughly); if the bill is more then up to you and your own wallet but as said there are no rules
Waiters are paid the living wage
Laisser un pourboire dépend de la façon dont on vous a élevé, et la transmission des us et coutumes. Traditionnellement, on laisse un pourboire. Mais c'est effectivement une coutume qui se perd de plus en plus.
@@heliedecastanet1882 y'a longtemps, les serveurs avaient leur "carré" et étaient payés au pourboire du dit carré. Aujourd'hui c'est plus le cas, et beaucoup de gens n'ont pas les moyens de laisser un pourboire
I'm french ans I approve this message.
😂😂😂❤❤❤d'accord!
We usually tip 1 or 2 € if we enjoyed the service but it's not compulsary at all. We can also enjoy meal and service and don't leave a tip, it's not an offence as the bill includes the servers' salary.
Janai is gorgeous… on top of being a rebel then yes she can be French. Take it from a french man 😉
"we take 1 to 2 hours for lunch"... LOL !! so UNrealistic !! Nobody does that anymore in France
tu plaisantes j'espère ? In the workplace, 43% of French people take more than 45 minutes for lunch (Ideal meal survey), and well over an hour at the weekend!
@@chrisrobert5252 tes chiffres parlent contre toi :) 43% means it is not the majority... and more than 45 minutes doesn't mean 2 hours !!
On the week-end, it means not during working hours ;)
@@chrisrobert5252 Yes there is about 1 hour. But 2 hours is stretching it. Nobody working in major large company can do this.
Well, I still do and I am French.
@@Talentaire waou tu travailles ou ????
In france you can tip if you really enjoyed the service, but it is not obligated, because they already have a salary.
The Olympic record for clichés about Paris, France and everything else in under 3 minutes.
Joie de "vivera"?
I work in France where did she see 2 hours lunch? It's usually 1 hour.
I work in France too, I have 2 hours (je travaille pour une assurance )
@@patricksantinelli9513 Lucky!
Jourdan isn't pronounced like "Jordan"
I like the inside jokes ! i would like to know more
Exactly what I was thinking... they seem to be kiki-ing about something in this segment amongst the hosts/crew that viewers don't seem to be clued in on
So...
- lunch break at a company takes one hour
- "enjoy the present", "slow down": no, Paris is the most stressful and most fast-paced French city
- US TV, ask some ordinary French people and you'll understand why you don't "get it"
- Americans, go to Lyon, Toulouse
, Bordeaux, Nantes, Rennes, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Lille, for starters. Then go to the smaller big cities, then medium cities, then smaller ones, then villages... And you'll perhaps start understanding how France works (please don't only stay in Paris, or go the other arrondissements and to the rest of Ile-de-France, to 92, 93, 94, 95, 77, 91...), stop being noobs when it comes to France..
C' est amusant, il manque le 78. Avec des villes emblématiques pour la vie "rêvée" et la vie beaucoup moins rêvée de quelques quartiers.
Then about lunchtime, it all depends.
That said I love Americans, I love francophiles, I love tourists, I love everyone !!!!! 🥰❤️
Why not sell them the whole of France while you are at it?
*A lot of inside jokes in this segment amongst the hosts/crew that viewers don't seem to be clued in on* Good for them I guess!
I love this beautiful black woman!!!she is so nice
Joie de VIVROR :s
❤ I hope that we all got a little help love my sister very much I thank you for everything that Jackie Patty and Kevin you all are the best let alone thank you for everything you done
Hello from France, two hours of lunch between 12:00 and 14:00 no... On the other hand, in a 24-hour day, the French like to take their time, which means that there is a certain moment when they will stop to eat with their friends on a terrace with their family. The French like to take their time. A day a day of 24 hours there will automatically be time given for breakfast the children's snack dinner or being with friends drinking an aperitif the French like to take their time.And the French are more grumblers than pessimists because when they grumble, we think they are pessimistic, but I simply think that we will like them in the rain or in the good weather, we grumble about everything, about everyone. THANKS
Plus grumbling goes with some humor.
Whaou this women is so beautiful
❤❤
As a french : tips, "pourboure" is really not mandatory, and doesn't amount in percentage but more with whatver coin you have (1/2€) when you are satisfied.
Also France != Paris. Thd girl that teach you 4 words seems like the most Parisian girl i've ever seen.
Really don't take that bullshit, Paris is not a nice city anymore, and we are not like this girl
Paris would be a paradise with ten times less of inhabitants ,tourists,and at least five times more space.
Bonjour from the south of France.
Hmmmm, 2 hours for lunch, so during the work break, it's false or in any case very exaggerated...
I don't know in what social world the Parisian woman who tells at your (so pretty ^^) journalist in France that lives. 😅
After you often make the mistake foreigners, especially the US, of generalizing Paris to the whole rest of France.
Paris is 3 million inhabitants, France is 70 million, you must not forget the habits of the 67 million other French people who can be slightly or even very different from those in Paris.
For the midday meal during the work break, we take rather one hour. One hour is already a lot I think for an US. ^^
On the other hand it's true that we won't quickly eat a sandwich, we go around a table and we take the opportunity to talk and take the time to live with friends.
The 2 hour meals are rather in the evening at home with family, or the weekends where there it can even last more than two hours with the "apéro" before. ^^ And so it's not during work days.
QED
A 2 hour lunch break is just BS. No wonder why people think we're lazy. 😂😂😂😭
I'm French and Parisian and I would like to have a work where I can take a 1 or 2 hrs of break lunch. It's false, I have 30 min break lunch!
Faut écrire : Dans mon entreprise, je n'ai que 30mn de pause. Car cela varie de 30mn à 2h00 suivant les métiers.
Personnellement, 1h00.
A majority of places are closed between 12 and 14 in France......
@@IRACEMABABU You are sure or somebody told you ?
@@fafaser38 The majority of businesses and administrations are closed for lunch time in France. 1h, 1h"30or 2h, as time still open but with very less employees.
What's told in the video is absolutely correct, it isn't by no means a french thing to eat a sandwich at work. And there's a legal obligation to have the exact work shedule printed and in clear wiew at the work place. BTW I'm french.
@@fafaser38 Majorité peut être pas dans les grandes villes, mais beaucoup c'est sur.
2-hour lunches do not exist... maybe on a week-end with friends or family every now and then, but that's it
She is too cute!
If you don’t speak French speak a different language then they will try engaging in English
On donne un pourboire quand l expérience est positive ! Un serveur agréable souriant attentif on donne un pourboire
2:03 yeah, right... no. Nobody does that. Some people even eat at their desk. Stop spreading clichés
hi
Do NOT tip in France
You already speak French, just work on your accent ;>) Don't forget, English is 40% French ...
1h or 2 to eat.. rofl we barely have 30 minutes.
It's 1 hour. Even if it is 2 hours ( very rare) you are forced to work the same amount of time at the end and you finish later
as a parisian, this is horseshit. the generalisations here are wild.
Aren't there any polite and decent Parisians in Paris? This vulgarity is such a plague!
Look both ways before you take a leakin the street
You mean speaking in French like, 🤔 like where do I go we we, 🤭😭😭😭
Maybe you should go with your parents.
"we take one to two hours lunch break" 🤦♂️🤦♂️
No we don't. Maybe that Instagram influencer does. But regular working people don't. Nope
You are so funny and sexy when you speak french and try to understand them...but be careful, Parish people can be rough too..
So 'Parisian centered' !!! i wonder if Parisians (let alone tourists) do even know that there is a country around them called 'France' that is miles away from all these stupid clichés.
Yes we do. We are constantly reminded how much better life and people are outside of it.
Il faut arrêter avec les "Parisiens", ou alors être précis. Seuls 30% des Parisiens sont nés à Paris. Cela veut dire que 70% viennent d'ailleurs. D'abord de la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, ensuite de la Nouvelle Aquitaine puis du Grand Est.
Paris est une ville d'émigration, peuplée par toutes les régions de France. Je suis Parisien, et lors des vacances, autour de moi la majorité de mes amis disent : je descends dans ma famille dans le Cantal, en Savoie, en Auvergne, en Bretagne, etc, etc… Alors oui, les "Parisiens" connaissent bien ce qu'il y a autour, puisqu'ils en viennent 🙂
@@heliedecastanet1882oui vous avez totalement raison...sauf qu'ils oublient très vite d'où ils viennent. Il suffit de voir tous les étés ,les incivilités urbaines arriver . Je ne parle même pas des néo ruraux qui viennent souvent "polluer " nos campagnes.
@@ericbezagu8451 Ah, je ne saurais pas vous dire qui oublie quoi, n'ayant aucune étude ou statistique sous les yeux pour me permettre d'affirmer quoi que ce soit 🙂
Quant à la "pollution" des campagnes, je parlerais plutôt de cohabitations parfois compliquées et d'adaptation nécessaire. Parfois la greffe prend très bien ; parfois, pas du tout ou très mal. Les néoruraux doivent apprendre à comprendre le milieu dans lequel ils s'installent. Certains y parviennent ; d'autres pas ou peu. Mais la vraie pollution de nos si jolies campagnes, je pense que Monsanto et tout le secteur agro-alimentaire soutenu par la FNSEA (ici, une pensée émue pour la Bretagne et ses journalistes d'investigation menacés par l'industrie agro-alimentaire) peuvent en parler mieux que nous 🙂
"Qouawtrew môtes impowtanwte" putain leur accent de merde ça me tue 😂
I always wonder who it benefits to perpetuate these absurd stereotypes.
This so way basic!!
Nice joke at the end, about complaining, even me, french , i laughed...
