When you plan a travel to the French Quarter, you must keep in mind the changing weather, fashion of French and their language. As you know, language is the primary tool of communication; you should learn some basic words & phrases in the French language so that you could enjoy your trip facing no much hurdle when interacting with people. You do not need to be the master in French, but learning some essential words & phrases are necessary for the interaction, for example:

  • Bonjour – Hello
  • Merci – Thank you!
  • Oui– Yes
  • Pardon – Excuse
  • S’il vous plait – Please
  • Au Revoir – Goodbye

After learning some basic French words, you need to know how the French people greet each other, for example, their style of saying hello and shaking hands, etc. The French people kiss each other, but they only shake hands with strangers. They also kiss when they depart, they do not kiss just on one side of the face, and they kiss on both cheeks. Basic knowledge of culture is mandatory to learn so that you could enjoy many things to do in the French Quarter.

Visiting the countryside in French, say, “Bonjour” to the villagers, however when you are traveling to any big city of France, avoid saying so, because the people will not respond to you. French citizens avoid strangers, and they do not respond to them.
