Tipping in Paris and Le Bristol Celebrates 100 Years

Your Survival Guy received a text this week from my brother-in-law, who, along with my sister and their daughter, are visiting their son who is studying for a semester in London. They took the Chunnel to Paris and had dinner at one of our faves, Chez Andres.

“Do you tip in Paris?” he texted.

“It’s not expected,” I texted a bit later, “But we do, depending on the experience.”

“Too late,” he said. “I did.”

“It will be appreciated,” I said.

Make your plans now to get out there and see the world because if you don’t, you’ll be a year older this time next year.
