In this section, you will nd the essential words
and useful phrases you need for basic everyday
situations and for getting to know people. Be
aware of cultural differences when you are

women and Mademoiselle for girls and younger
women, and often shaking hands.

France has an excellent road and highway system
if you are traveling around the country by car.
French trains are fast and punctual, linking the
main towns and cities, while in the countryside
buses connect most mainline railroad stations with
towns and villages not served by trains. You can
also travel by taxi, tram, plane or, in some cities,
the Mtro (subway).

EATING OUT
It is not difcult to eat well and inexpensively in
France. You can choose from cafs and bars,
which serve a variety of drinks and snacks, bistros
(small bars, which are often family-run and serve
local and traditional dishes) and brasseries, which
are usually larger and noisier. If you want a
gastronomic meal in more formal surroundings,
you can eat at a more expensive restaurant but
you may have to book in advance.

SHOPPING
As well as department stores, hypermarkets and
specialist shops, France has many picturesque
open-air markets in town squares and high streets
where you can buy food, clothes and even
antiques relatively cheaply. Most shops are open
between 9.00am and 6.30pm from Tuesday to
Saturday. However, many stores and food shops
are shut on Mondays, and in small towns and
villages they often close for two hours for lunch.
