What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Montpellier?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Montpellier if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"When in Montpellier, it is considered impolite to talk loudly or chew gum in public places. It is important to take your shoes off before entering someone's home, and you may be expected to kiss both cheeks as a greeting when meeting someone for the first time. Additionally, directions should be asked of someone in a polite manner, as it is considered rude to simply point at a person for directions. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to wear revealing clothing or to drink alcohol in public places," wrote a member who made the move to Montpellier, France, France.
