Bonjour!

Greetings are very important here. Whenever entering a store or cafe we are always greeted with a "Bonjour!" and often a "Bonjour madame!" (or "Bonjour monsieur" as the case may be...). And on leaving there's always a "Au revoir". Good friends that meet on ths street often kiss three times on the cheek (one left, one right, and another left). People that don't know each other that well would greet with just one kiss on the cheek.
