Advice for Someone Considering Doing internship in France

  1. Do learn basic French – Remember that you’re in a foreign land and while many French people speak English, you’ll never know when the phrases will come in handy.
  2. Bring gift for your host when invited over – If you happen to make some friends while in France, lucky you! Do note when you do get invited over, remember to bring a token of thanks to your host. Bring a bottle of wine or a bouquet of flowers as a gift and make sure to arrive on time and dressed up
  3. Tip your waiter when ordering in cafes or restaurants – Giving a little extra tip to your waiter is highly encouraged and appreciated. You are not obligated to do so but it’s common courtesy nonetheless. Giving tips to taxi drivers, restroom attendants, and usherettes are also encouraged. An extra tip doesn’t have to be big, just a couple of euro as your way of saying thank you.
