TIPPING


Tipping is ALWAYS included on your all food service bills, L'ADDITION. 
Under service you will notice 18 % tax and tip.   That is government law. In the past, that tip was sufficient, but lately the French have been leaving a little more. In bistros, up to one €  is fine for two people, in a fancier or a very fancy restaurant, the percentage increases to 20%, so a € five tip for two is great. French credit card terminals do not allow the addition of a tip, so it must be in cash [ or coin].  

Taxi drivers deserve a bit more, more likely a 5 per cent tip.
