it

are really polite and will not interrupt
you when you're having dinner therefore

have to get their attention simply say
excuse me

the bill please
most restaurants and France have a
service charge but the good news is
tipping is more of a courtesy it is not
required and it's not considered rude if
you don't tip if you really liked the
service and would like to give the
waiter or waitress something the average
is 5 or 10% of the bill
