(Tip 11) Expect to be right
“The customer is always right” is a statement not always true in France, particularly in Paris. The French tend to stay in one job for the duration of their professional lives which essentially makes them experts at what they do. For instance, when restaurant staff deem your viewpoint incorrect, consider it their duty to correct you. Take in their interesting insights on French heirloom recipes as they give insider tips to best enjoy your dining experience. So, keep your opinions in check and simply listen to learn. It is the French way of doing things and since you are in France and not on your home turf, you might as well listen and trust they know what they are talking about.
