Cultural Tip

In French culture, travel is a highly valued topic of conversation and a common way to build rapport. However, keep the focus on experiences and culture rather than the cost of the trip, as discussing personal finances is often considered distasteful. If you are in a formal setting, remember to switch to 'Parlez-moi' and 'vos voyages'.
