When you're getting a ticket, try to Look happy but then, when you are in the bus/Subway, never smile.
Also, keep an eye on your belongins, there's a lot of pickpocket.

@BigCuli98 Sure !
In France, in Paris more exactly, smile is seen as happy which is gay/bad.
It's bad because when you smile people Will Look at you with disgust.
So for your honnor, it's better if you don't smile.
And Yes i'm serious

Greetings : You may know the way of greeting "la bise". It is very common in our everyday life so it's normal and natural.
But it is not used with Every one
ex : Woman/woman = okay
Man/Woman = okay
Man/Man = Not really or they have to be very close and to know each other very well. Greetings between men are more about shaking hands.
Also, the "bise" is done differently depending on where you live in France. In a big part of the country, you will begin to kiss the cheek on your left (when you are facing the other) but in the South, they usually begin on the right :)

@BigCuli98 That's not French culture, it's Parisian culture. People in Paris are busy and tired, which is why they don't smile. However, it's okay if you, as a tourist, smile about what you're sightseeing, people won't look at you in any weird way.
I also lived a short amount of time in Paris, and not being Parisian I did smile, like if I was in a good mood, or listening to good music and such. It did happen that people look at me in an interrogative way, sometimes, rarely though, but disgust ? No way, this person is saying bullshit. People just mind their own business. The only thing that would attract bad looks would be if you are actually disturbing the people around you by being loud or invective.

@Tyrique depends where abouts you're going, if you're heading to paris then, i would say always say 'bonjour' before literally anything, if u buy something, greet the cashier, be very polite :)

@BigCuli98 Hmmm, not really... They have a reputation of not being friendly even in France. ^^'
But in Paris there are also a lot of non-Parisian people, so you'll always find someone friendly to help you out. ^^'

@BigCuli98, @lucie_rushii is right Parisian don't smile in the subway just because we are tired or busy it's not like we do that to respect a tradition ! XD
If you smile, you will just be seen as a smiling person like in any other countries and you may even get other people to smile back at you ! don't worry we don't eat people :p

@BigCuli98 No, like I said, I was a non-Parisian in Paris which is why I can tell you that smiling is A-okay.

I not agree about Parisian who aren't friendly.... please don't generalize, some people are nice, and some others aren't, like everywhere! If you go in another city, it will be the same.
Just be polite, say hello, good bye and thank you, we like that 🙂
And if you're going to Paris, be careful there are a lot of pickpockets, I agree with that!
