FAQs & Packing List September 1 - September 11, 2022FAQSFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQSHow much is "reasonable" to tip for good service in France?TIPPING FOR SERVICEUltimately, tipping is a demonstration to express satisfaction for theservice provided and Americans have a reputation for tipping well.This is why there is often an expectation in France that visitors fromthe U.S. will leave good tips. However, tipping in France is entirely upto you and is rarely expected in most situations.Unlike in other countries, e.g. the U.S., service workers in France areguaranteed a living wage, complete with benefits and vacation time.In addition, there is a 15% service charge attached to all food anddrinks, although this does not go straight to the worker, it generallyhelps fund the benefits. All of this means that in Paris a tip is usedpurely as thanks for good service and it is NOT expected.Tipping Taxi Drivers:For normal rides in Paris, a €1¬-2 tip is appropriate. If it was a longride (like from the airport), or you had heavy bags.Tipping at a bar/cafe:For coffee or drinks, it's usual to just round up the price, somewherebetween 20 centimes and €1 per drink. If the place is particularlybusy, or you want the bartender to remember you, bump it up to afew euros. And bartenders really do remember good tippers!Tipping at a restaurant:Tipping is not required by etiquette in restaurants, but if you enjoyedyour meal, it's nice to leave 5 - 10%.
FAQSTIPPING FOR SERVICETipping Hotel Service:Room Service - 15% of the total bill, but make sure it is not alreadyincluded in the bill.Concierge - €1-€4 for useful information and time spent assistingyou. You can also consider leaving one large tip at the end of yourstay. Bellhop or Doorman - €2 minimum with €1 for each additional bag.Housekeeping - €2 to €4 per night for each person staying in theroom. Tipping Tour Guides:Most tour guides are paid but tipping €5 to €7 per person isgenerous.SOME TIPS ON "TIPPING":Use cash/small bills:Carry €1 bills and try not to tip on the credit card as most of the time,the staff won't receive it.Avoid double-tipping:Be sure to read your bill at restaurants before you leave gratuities,especially if you are in a tourist district. Many restaurants are alreadyprepared for tourists who leave insufficient gratuities andautomatically add in an 18% service charge.Look for the words "Service Included" for example ("15% servicecompris").
