"Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite" Freedom, equality and brotherhood. Examples gleaned from a recent visit to France....
Freedom - Recently all French hotels were legally declared totally non-smoking. This includes the room for which you have reserved and paid. You are not allowed to smoke in it.
Equality - There is no smoking aboard a French bus or train. The Air France bus pulled into the stop, the driver let everyone off, re-closed the door and lit and smoked a cigarette out the open driver's window. He then opened the doors and let everyone board.
Brotherhood - Buy traveler's checks at your bank stateside but get them in Euros, not dollars. Many banks refuse dollars, but the post office will accept them and do the swap.
