Don't expect a huge amount of vegan options:"Notify people you visit and be careful in which restaurants you go. Very few people are vegan in France compared to some other countries, and although the situation is slowly improving,the awareness² and acceptance of it are still quite poor. Some older people especially can consider it a 'weird³' or even radical⁴ behavior."

 

 

Don't talk about money: "For example, you can tell you quit a job because you were underpaid, but you should not mention how much exactly. There are old taboos⁵ about speaking of money in the French culture, many people consider it a 'dirty' topic."

 

Don't expect people to speak English: "The French educational system is bad at teaching foreign languages, with an excessive focus on reading and writing compared to conversational⁶ skills. Many older people will only know a bit of bad and heavily accented English and/or possibly German or Spanish."
