(Tip 26) Be in a hurry

The French have mastered the art of taking their time. Nothing is rushed which means everything is thoughtful. To truly experience France and its culture, sacrifice a few stops on your schedule and learn to take your time: grab a coffee at a Terrasse and simply enjoy watching people pass by for a couple of hours, or take a three-hour lunch break and really enjoy the food and the company. French culture is all about taking the time to enjoy life.
