TIPPING

Porters

Most of them have an official scale of charges, but it is usual to give about 5 FF extra, depending on the number of bags.

Taxi drivers

Tip about 10 % to 15% of the amount marked on the meter.

Hotel staff

5 to 10 FF for every item of baggage to the hotel porter who carries bags on arrival and departure.

You are not obliged to tip the concierge (hallporter), doorman, etc, if you have not used their services. Leave about 10 FF per day for the chambermaid.

Restaurant waiters

Service is generally included in the bill. If not, leave an extra 10 to 15 % of the total amount.

Cafe waiters

Tip is generally included. If not, leave an extra 10 to 15 % of the total amount.

Guides

For group visits to museums and monuments, 5 FF per person is a reasonable tip.
