Cultural Tip
In French hotels, the formal term for "room service" is "service d'étage". However, many upscale hotels keep the English phrase "room service" on signs and menus, especially in tourist areas. When speaking to staff, using the formal version shows politeness, while "T'as" is fine with peers or in a relaxed setting. Always remember to say "s'il vous plaît" if you want to be extra courteous.
