Paris is a cosmopolitan city and its inhabitants represent a fantastic mix of cultures, religions, backgrounds and wealth. Though it is impossible to generalize about such a diverse population, you may find that Parisians tend to be more formal than most Americans when it comes to language, dress, common courtesy, and even food. For example:
Parisians always say "bonjour" when entering a restaurant, store, or even elevator when they enter, and "au revoir" when they leave.
The French have two registers for addressing someone as 'you': "tu" (the use of 'tu' is known as "tutoiement") is the more casual register, and is used for a person you know very well, and "vous" ("vouvoiement") the formal and plural form). To avoid any awkward social situations it's always better to start with "vous" until you are invited to use 'tu'.
Eating and mealtimes are extremely important cultural experiences in France. Parisians like to take the time to sit down and enjoy each meal, and are rarely seen eating on the go in the street or on the metro.
