How can I be a good tourist in Paris?

Politeness is key. Use “Bonjour” when entering shops or restaurants and “Merci” when leaving. Parisians appreciate courtesy. Respect local customs by dressing modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Avoid loud conversations and be considerate of others’ personal space.

Follow rules in museums and attractions by not touching exhibits and adhering to any photography restrictions. Use public transport correctly by validating your ticket and allowing passengers to exit before you board.  Café culture involves ordering at the counter or waiting to be seated. It’s customary to spend some time at a table, so avoid lingering too long if it’s busy.
