During these months, be prepared for long queues at major attractions, and for most restaurants to be busy. Sometimes, the odd worker&#8217;s strike will occur in summer, so if it does, make sure you\u2019re patient and take it all with a good sense of humour while you are on tour. <strong>A bonus of being on tour is<\/strong> that you often get to skip the queues for famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, depending on the operator and arrangement they have with that local organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhUGLFbncX0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Remember that it&#8217;s pretty much your tour guides job to know all the best secrets of a city they travel through, so don&#8217;t hesitate to pick their brains to learn the hidden gems only locals and frequent visitors know about.\u00a0<\/span>As for the experiences that you will find during your tour through France, you can almost guarantee that you will visit, stop for a photo, or drive past the Eiffel Tower. Other unique experiences on your tour might include a <a href=\"\/t\/51260\">lively cabaret show<\/a>, a guided tour with a local historian to deeper into the history of the <a href=\"\/t\/14048\">D-Day Landing Beaches in Normandy<\/a>, a <a href=\"\/t\/33382\">bike ride across the Vaucluse Plateau<\/a>\u00a0or a visit to architectural feats accompanied by a local expert.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth checking the calendar before you leave home to be prepared for any public holidays that fall within your tour itinerary. Many restaurants and stores close on these days, in cities and small towns alike, so it\u2019s wise to be one step ahead. You might even find time for a picnic in true French style \u2013 an experience often included by operators as a surprise for travellers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Culture and people in France<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Paris is the &#8216;City of Love&#8217;, some visitors to France complain that the French are, well, a little bit more &#8216;abrupt&#8217; than others. We beg to differ. France is a proud nation and the French\u00a0have welcomed travellers to their land for hundreds of years. However, it is true that they will not be judged and they will certainly not conform or dilute their rich culture. As long as you visit France with an open mind and offer the kind of respect any traveller should practice abroad, you will have a wonderful time travelling the country. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key ingredients for success in this sense is learning basic phrases in French to cover the formalities. As a rule of thumb, try to approach every conversation in French by asking, \u2018Excusez-moi, parlez-vous Anglais?\u2019 You\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised as to the difference in reaction compared to diving in English-first! There are plenty of resources online and in print with basic phrases to help you along.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BdxSsRghoYP\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

French cuisine is famous around the globe and not long after your arrival, you\u2019ll understand exactly why. From provincial farmhouse meals to haute cuisine, from the noble freshly baked baguette to the framboise raspberry tart, the list of French edible delights are endless. Most importantly, depending on what style of tour you go for, you might be lucky enough to experience a tasting session of\u00a0freshly picked truffles at a truffle farm in Bordeaux, or meet with an artisan winemaker and learn more about local produce.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0If this sounds like your kind of experience, there are plenty of\u00a0<a href=\"\/d\/france#types=178\">tours that focus on culinary delights in France<\/a> for you to enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, a word of wisdom to the first-time traveller \u2013 take it easy. French food is seriously rich (and decadent) and the temptation to take it all in can be overwhelming. Moderation is the key, so mix up your selection of cheeses and pastries, rich beef bourguignon and indulgent duck \u00e0 l\u2019orange with salads, soups and fresh fruits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bread and water are compliments to a typical French dining experience. Sometimes they are provided for you, but when this is not the case, you can simply ask your waiter for bottled or tap water. If they are provided without you asking for them and you don&#8217;t want to pay for the bread or water, simply don\u2019t eat or drink them. Keep in mind though, where these staples are provided, it is a sign of complete service, not a ploy to drain your wallet.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/how-much-you-should-tip-in-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Your Essential Guide for How Much You Should Tip in Europe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waiting tables is a respected profession in many countries in Europe and France is no exception. It\u2019s important to note that while tipping your waiter in France is commonplace, the way to earning this gratuity is not through the American way of \u2018the customer is always right\u2019. The waiter is to be respected, as is a reasonable (relaxed) pace of service and the quality of your food and drink. This all takes time and eating while stressed is bad for digestion, so sit back, relax and let time while away. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you can say, \u201cHow can I possibly relax and enjoy a slow meal while I\u2019m on tour?\u201d first of all, there is plenty of free time while on tour. Everyone has different priorities when travelling which multi-day tours allow for. Also, lucky for you, France has no shortage of good food \u2018to go\u2019 if you opt not to spend all afternoon at a restaurant. Cr\u00eapes stands, baguettes, patisseries, allow for plenty of options if you\u2019re short on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12881\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12881\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12881 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/cheese-min.jpg\" alt=\"Multi-day tour to France\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/cheese-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/cheese-min-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/cheese-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/810;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local cuisine is considered a highlight while travelling France<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Security and cash in France<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">France is just as safe as any other European country, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can be careless. Sadly, pick-pockets still continue to operate in populated tourist areas and on public transport. The smart traveller will only carry the valuables they need and always have their zipped bag in front of them in busy areas \u2013 right where you can see it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s important to have some cash on hand, too much leaves you vulnerable, so we recommend a bank card, free of international bank fees which you can use to withdraw cash throughout your stay. It\u2019s best to look for a larger bank like BNP Paribas in the bigger cities, where you can access a cash machine in the foyer. This way you can also hold someone responsible if the machine eats your card! On that note, it\u2019s also wise to never keep all of your bank cards in one place and consider bringing a duplicate which you can leave in your suitcase for emergencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/small-towns-in-europe-authentic-local-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Small Towns in Europe for Authentic Local Experiences<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your hotel room, for the most part, is safe and secure, so you can leave valuables in your room when you don\u2019t want to carry them around. Most hotel rooms will have a safe and if not, there might be a security deposit at the reception that you can request to store your valuables in. Most importantly though, keep all valuables out of sight from housekeeping or even lock them in your suitcase while you\u2019re out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also wise to be aware of areas of larger cities that are not safe at night, which your tour guide can point out for you. The romantic streets of Montmartre, frequented by the likes of Edith Piaf, Picasso and Ernest Hemingway, may not be so inviting after dark! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12880\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12880\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12880 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bruno-abatti-120376-unsplash-min.jpg\" alt=\"Multi-day tour to France\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bruno-abatti-120376-unsplash-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bruno-abatti-120376-unsplash-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bruno-abatti-120376-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bruno-abatti-120376-unsplash-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12880\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paris at dusk is an ideal time for photos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>What to wear in France<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as famous as French cuisine is French fashion. While rural towns will see people dressed in comfortable, quality clothes, the streets of Paris and Nice will have you feeling a little underdressed in a sweater and shorts. Comfort is important for you though as the best way to get around most places you\u2019ll visit, is on foot, so comfortable shoes are a must. The cooler months warrant a jacket, scarf and leather boots, while summer is perfect for light trousers and shirts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a shopper, we recommend you arrive with a suitcase only partially filled as you\u2019re bound to succumb to the bargains you\u2019ll find. And what better souvenir from your time in Paris, than an item of clothing you can expect to be complimented on back home, conveniently giving you the opportunity to tell your admirer, \u201cOh this old thing? I bought this in Paris!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><em>So, what&#8217;s the verdict on touring in France?<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in all touring is a great way to visit France, with unforgettable experiences paired with as much or as little guidance as you need from your tour guide. You&#8217;ll be able to cross off both the famous bucket-list items then conquer alternatives you didn&#8217;t even know existed. Just remember that your priority should be relaxing and embracing the French style of living.
