In addition, while you are trying to learn, and at least several words to speak in french, for the owners of the bakery. Even the weakest talking french will certainly enjoy!

Maintaining clear that the process of eating is a ritual, and therefore no hurry, relax and enjoy your meal. After dinner, you have to do the asking. But they only ask if you really catering, as it is as rude to give in hand, before leaving really. Courtesy
Remember to commend the owner of the store, if you are in the building. Hello say “Dear Sir / Madam”. On adopt business - “Thank you, Sir / Madam”.
Cafe
If you are a small cup of coffee (not in the morning, when the French are with breakfast). If you want to ask for coffee, coffee cream, if you order a café au lait and (coffee with milk), you watched with astonishment as the coffee served in a large cup, and it is generally drunk at home . Expresso Cafe Nutcracker is in English.
