French language training

Saying hello in France

French people prefer surnames and titles (Madame, Monsieur) to jumping straight to first names.

French people always, whether coming or going, with whoever it is, however often they've met them before, shake hands. Meetings pause, meals stop, the world waits for every Jacques and Henri to grasp the palm. If Josephine is there expect some kisses. The men may touch cheeks – more a brush of the face than a full lips how-do-you-do.
