Beware of the French word for a company, une   société . It can mean the same as the English “society,” but its second meaning as “company” is just as common. Now you know what French people mean when they’re attempting to speak English and ask, “What society do you work for?”

La société a récemment lancé un nouveau produit sur le marché international. (The company recently launched a new product in the international market.)

If you’re looking for a less confusing term for “company,” you can also use this one.

Notre entreprise se spécialise dans le développement de logiciels sur mesure. (Our business specializes in custom software development.)

If you want an even more informal term for “company,” and the people involved are fine with it, use boîte .

La boîte organise une réunion importante demain pour discuter des objectifs annuels. (The company is organizing an important meeting tomorrow to discuss annual goals.)

You’re likely already familiar with this go-to French greeting , but don’t make the mistake of greeting someone with it in the hallway after you’ve already used it at the beginning of the day. It’s employed strictly once per day.

Bonjour à tous les participants de la conférence ! Nous sommes ravis de vous accueillir. ( Hello to all conference participants! We are delighted to welcome you.)

Once you’ve used up your daily quota of  bonjour , you could say salut instead. Note, however, that most French coworkers are more likely to just nod or say nothing.

Salut , comment ça va ? C’est toujours un plaisir de vous voir à nos événements. ( Hi , how are you? It’s always a pleasure to see you at our events.)

Not unlike their Anglophone counterparts, handshakes are expected in a French business environment.

Nous nous serrons la main pour sceller l’accord commercial conclu entre nos deux entreprises. (We shake hands to seal the business deal between our two companies.)

If you work in a smaller or more informal business, you’ll find that coworkers may greet each other with la bise in the morning if they like each other—or pretend to. The number of kisses varies according to region, but in Paris it’s often two kisses beginning on the left.

En France, on pratique souvent la bise pour se saluer dans un contexte professionnel. (In France, cheek kissing is often practiced as a professional greeting.)

In practice, both tu and vous are acceptable to use in a business environment. However, you need to listen carefully to your colleagues to determine the correct level of formality for each situation and each particular business’s culture.

To be safe, use vous as it’s considered more polite. It’s almost always used in meetings with those outside of your own company, and with your boss. Some bosses may prefer the more relaxed tu , though. When in doubt, ask!

Vous êtes invités à participer à notre prochaine conférence sur l’innovation technologique. ( You are invited to attend our upcoming conference on technological innovation.)

You’ll sometimes find tu used among workers at all levels in arts organizations, nonprofits and smaller companies. It’s also common for colleagues to use  tu among themselves, but  vous with the bosses.

Tu peux me passer le dossier avant la réunion ? (Can you pass me the file before the meeting?)

Monsieur is a polite way to address a man. It’s used much more than its English counterpart, and can come in handy when you forget someone’s name.

Monsieur , nous avons bien reçu votre demande et nous y donnerons suite dans les plus brefs délais. ( Sir , we have received your request and will respond to it as soon as possible.)

 Similarly, madame is a polite way to address a woman, particularly one that you don’t know very well.

Madame , nous sommes honorés de vous présenter nos meilleurs vœux pour le succès de votre entreprise. ( Madam , we are honored to extend our best wishes for the success of your business.)

Foreigners working in France are often surprised by the limited amount of socializing that goes on between les collègues .

Les collègues travaillent ensemble pour atteindre les objectifs de l’entreprise. ( Colleagues work together to achieve the company’s goals.)

Once your les collègues get comfy with you, though, it is possible to transition to pote de travail .

Mon pote de travail et moi collaborons étroitement sur ce projet depuis plusieurs mois. (My work buddy and I have been closely collaborating on this project for several months.)

Team buildings are becoming increasingly common in France to foster social connections between workers. (Ignore what dictionaries might tell you, as the shortened anglicism is usually used .)

Les team buildings sont essentiels pour renforcer la cohésion au sein de l’équipe. ( Team buildings are essential for strengthening team cohesion.)

15 . Les formations de travail (Training Sessions)

Companies are required to provide training sessions for their employees. However, employees often don’t take these too seriously, and instead use them as opportunities to socialize.

Nous organisons des formations de travail régulières pour améliorer les compétences de nos employés. (We organize regular work trainings to enhance the skills of our employees.)

Earlier, we mentioned three French terms for “company” in French. Now, we’re going to get into the specific types of companies.

First up is une société par actions , which simply means that the stocks or shares (representations of ownership) within a company can be purchased or sold by individuals or entities known as “stockholders” or “shareholders.”

La création d’ une société par actions offre plusieurs avantages en termes de responsabilité financière. (The establishment of a joint-stock company offers several advantages in terms of financial liability.)

When a company has “LLC” in its name, you’ll know that it’s this. As its name suggests, it’s a company structured in such a way that the individual company owners shoulder as little of the company’s debts as possible. If you’re curious about how that works, here’s a more detailed article about it on Investopedia .

Une société à responsabilité limitée limite la responsabilité des actionnaires aux montants investis dans l’entreprise. ( A limited liability company limits the liability of shareholders to the amounts invested in the company.)

Multinational companies are those that have operations outside of their country of origin. Some of the most famous French multinational companies are Christian Dior, Hermès, L’Oréal and Louis Vuitton.

Une multinationale opère dans plusieurs pays et est soumise à des réglementations internationales. ( A multinational operates in multiple countries and is subject to international regulations.)

A parent company is one that has a significant controlling interest (typically over 50% ) over another company or group of companies known as subsidiaries.

Une maison-mère supervise les opérations de ses filiales et détient souvent une participation majoritaire dans celles-ci. ( A parent company oversees the operations of its subsidiaries and often holds a majority stake in them.)

When you say that a company is “nonprofit,” it doesn’t necessarily mean that the company doesn’t have any money flowing in or out of it. Rather, it means that all of its “profits” are put into projects that aim to benefit society in some way (at least, in theory).

Une association à but non lucratif se consacre à des activités d’intérêt général sans rechercher de bénéfices financiers. ( A non-profit organization is dedicated to activities of general interest without seeking financial profits.)

Just as Anglophones have SMEs, France has PMEs.

Les petites et moyennes entreprises jouent un rôle crucial dans l’économie locale. ( Small and medium-sized enterprises play a crucial role in the local economy.)

One of the more frequent things you’ll be asked for in a French office is to mettre à jour someone about something. The noun form is une mise à jour (an update).

For example:

Ils mettent à jour ces stratégies au moins tous les trois ans. (They update these strategies at least every three years.)

Lorsque vous recevez une mise à jour … (When you receive an update …)

When you’re discussing numbers such as items or prices, you might use  actualisation , like in  une actualisation des prévisions de trésorerie (an update of cash flow forecasts).

L’actualisation des données est essentielle pour maintenir la précision de nos informations financières. (The update of data is essential to maintain the accuracy of our financial information.)

This one is used for meetings that update, define or further refine projects.

Nous tiendrons une mise au point demain matin pour actualiser et affiner les détails du projet en cours. (We will have a meeting [on] the details of the ongoing project tomorrow morning.)

When you’re asked to livrer a report, make sure you have it ready—or, at least, a good reason why it’s not ready yet!

Je dois livrer le rapport final d’ici la fin de la journée. (I have to turn in the final report by the end of the day.)

Both un bilan and une annonce refer to a published report, typically given to the media.

Nous avons une annonce importante à partager lors de la réunion de l’équipe demain. (We have an important announcement to share at the team meeting tomorrow.)

Now and then, your boss may ask you about un rapport de situation regarding the project you’re working on.

Le directeur financier présentera un rapport de situation lors de la réunion du conseil d’administration. (The CFO will present a status update at the board meeting.)

This refers to an evaluation, such as that of an employee.

Une évaluation des performances de l’équipe sera réalisée à la fin du trimestre. (A performance evaluation of the team will be conducted at the end of the quarter.)

This can also refer to a general write-up of a situation.

Le responsable des ventes doit fournir un compte-rendu détaillé des activités du mois dernier. (The sales manager must provide a detailed report on last month’s activities.)

Un rapport annuel refers to the financial statements that companies need to file every year.

Le rapport annuel sera distribué aux actionnaires lors de l’assemblée générale. (The annual report will be distributed to shareholders at the general meeting.)

By the way, here’s a good general guide on writing various types of business reports in French. Note that you’ll use formal—and sometimes slightly more florid language—than you might in the ultra-practical world of Anglophone business. (Just see this post on writing French letters for examples.) When in doubt, check how other reports at your company are generally structured.

When you’re talking about money being handed out, you can’t go wrong with the general term le paiement .

Le paiement des factures doit être effectué avant la fin du mois pour éviter des frais de retard. (The payment of invoices must be made by the end of the month to avoid late fees.)

If you want to talk about salaries specifically, use le salaire.

Les employés recevront leur salaire à la fin de la semaine. (Employees will receive their salary at the end of the week.)

The word honoraires almost looks like the English word “honorary,” doesn’t it? (You’d definitely not want to translate it that way, though.) The reason I pointed that out is because (in my opinion) it more strongly conveys the feeling that the “fee” is something that you’re supposed to pay or “honor.”

Les honoraires du consultant sont basés sur le nombre d’heures travaillées. ( Fees for the consultant are based on the number of hours worked.)

I think this phrase is pretty self-explanatory, but it’s still worth knowing!

L’entreprise offre une avance sur salaire pour aider les employés en cas de besoin financier urgent. (The company offers an advance on salary to assist employees in case of urgent financial need.)

Better not let those bills go past their une échéance !

La date d’échéance pour le paiement des factures est fixée au 15 du mois prochain. (The due date for payment of invoices is set for the 15th of next month.)

Luckily, bills can easily be settled via un règlement par virement bancaire .

Nous préférons un règlement par virement bancaire . (We prefer payment by bank transfer .)

Also luckily, bills are handled by la comptabilité , often referred to as just la compta .

La collaboration étroite entre les différents départements et la comptabilité est essentielle pour assurer la gestion financière optimale de l’entreprise. (Close collaboration between various departments and the accounting department is essential to ensure optimal financial management of the company.)

This refers to how much a company earned in any given period.

Le bénéfice net de l’entreprise a augmenté de manière significative cette année. (The company’s profit has increased significantly this year.)

Les biens refers to everything a company owns—tangible or intangible—that has monetary value, and can be used to settle debts and/or pay shareholders.

Les biens de l’entreprise comprennent des équipements de pointe et des propriétés immobilières. (The company’s assets include state-of-the-art equipment and real estate.)

This doesn’t mean disgusting! Rather, it refers to how much the company earned before expenses are deducted.

Le brut représente le total des revenus avant déduction des dépenses. (The gross represents the total income before deducting expenses.)

Meanwhile, bénéfice net refers to the company’s earnings after expenses are deducted.

Le bénéfice net est le montant restant après la déduction de toutes les dépenses. (The net profit is the amount remaining after deducting all expenses.)

If you work in the PR department or want to reach out to that specific department, here’s a handy phrase to know.

Les relations publiques jouent un rôle clé dans la gestion de l’image de l’entreprise. ( Public relations play a key role in managing the company’s image.)

In a business context, it’s fine to end a phone call with au revoir instead of the various other ways to say goodbye in French .

Au revoir et à bientôt lors de notre prochaine réunion d’équipe. ( Goodbye and see you soon at our next team meeting.)

On the other hand, the typical French phone opener  allô ? is too informal for business. You should instead answer the phone by stating the name of the business, the type of business or the department. For example, you might say  Relations publiques, bonjour ! (“Public relations, good morning!”)

You’ll often go through a secretary to speak with someone in your company—in which case this phrase will come in handy.

Pourrais-je parler à Monsieur Dupont, s’il vous plaît ? ( Could I speak to Mr. Dupont, please?)

Conversely, if you’re the one answering the call, this is your go-to phrase.

C’est de la part de qui ? ( Who is calling , please?)

Just insert your name between c’est and à , and you’re good.

C’est Marie à l’appareil . Comment puis-je vous aider aujourd’hui ? ( This is Marie on the line. How can I help you today?)

Hopefully, the other person is available and receptive to whatever business you have with them.

Je vous le passe . Monsieur Martin est en ligne pour discuter du projet avec vous. ( I’ll pass you to him. Mr. Martin is on the line to discuss the project with you.)

This literally means “don’t leave,” and if a song helps you remember this one, great! Just don’t model your French pronunciation on Nina Simone , as lovely as she is. Go for Jacques Brel instead:

Ne quittez pas , je vous mets en attente un instant. ( Hold on , I’ll put you on hold for a moment.)

This the absolute last phrase you want to hear when you’re calling and have urgent business.

Excusez-moi, la ligne est occupée actuellement. Pourriez-vous rappeler plus tard ? (Sorry, the line is busy at the moment. Could you call back later?)

If the other person isn’t available, you might hear this, too.

Pourriez-vous rappeler demain matin pour confirmer votre rendez-vous ? ( Could you call back tomorrow morning to confirm your appointment?)

You’ll rarely be asked this though, as many don’t seem to want to go to the trouble.

Voulez-vous laisser un message ? Je transmettrai votre message dès qu’il sera disponible. ( Would you like to leave a message ? I will forward your message as soon as possible.)

You can request this if you really want to talk to the other person, but they can’t call you back for one reason or another.

Est-ce qu’il peut me rappeler d’ici une heure ? J’ai une réunion en cours. ( Can he call me back in an hour? I’m currently in a meeting.)

If you can’t hear what the other person is saying, you can say this without sounding rude.

Pourriez-vous répéter la dernière partie de votre message ? La ligne était un peu faible. ( Could you repeat the last part of your message? The line was a bit weak.)

In order for the other person to call you back, they’ll need this information.

Mon numéro de téléphone est le 01-1555-1234. N’hésitez pas à me rappeler à ce numéro. ( My phone number is 01-1555-1234. Feel free to call me at this number.)

Like everywhere else, some businesses in France now take advantage of Skype and other forms of video and internet calling. You might be asked to have une   vidéoconférence, for example.

Nous allons organiser une vidéoconférence pour discuter des prochaines étapes du projet. (We will organize a video conference to discuss the next steps of the project.)

Then again, your boss might be more specific and ask to faire un Skype instead.

Nous devrions faire un Skype la semaine prochaine pour discuter des détails du projet. (We should discuss over Skype next week to go over the project details.)

Is the other person wondering why your video keeps cutting out? Give them this response. And if they’re saying something important that you couldn’t quite hear, you can also ask pourriez-vous répéter ?

Malheureusement, la connexion est très mauvaise en ce moment. Pouvons-nous réessayer plus tard ? (Unfortunately, the connection is very bad right now. Can we try again later?)

If your video cuts out completely, you can also say this.

La connexion a été coupée . Je m’excuse pour la coupure. Reprenons notre discussion. ( The connection has been cut . I apologize for the interruption. Let’s resume our discussion.)

If you want to do a presentation online, you might want to partager l’écran .

Nous avons la possibilité de partager l’écran pendant la réunion pour mieux comprendre les points présentés. (We have the option to share the screen during the meeting to better understand the points being presented.)

Apart from their salaries, there are additional perks and privileges that employees can have in exchange for working for a company—and these are the avantages sociaux .

Les avantages sociaux comprennent une assurance santé et des congés payés. ( Employee benefits include health insurance and paid time off.)

If your company ever gets into legal trouble (and best pray it doesn’t!), it should hire one of these.

L’ avocat de l’entreprise examinera le contrat avant la signature. (The lawyer of the company will review the contract before signing.)

Whether you’re working for one, or you want to visit one in France, make sure you know what banque means!

Nous avons ouvert un compte auprès de la banque locale pour faciliter les transactions financières. (We have opened an account with the bank to facilitate financial transactions.)

Just as the U.S. has the NYSE, France has the Euronext Paris (sometimes known as the Paris Stock Exchange).

La bourse a connu une forte fluctuation ces derniers jours en raison de divers facteurs économiques. (The stock market has experienced significant fluctuations in recent days due to various economic factors.)

This basically provides exclusive rights over an invention.

L’entreprise a déposé un brevet pour protéger son innovation technologique. (The company has filed a patent to protect its technological innovation.)

Whenever you engage in business with anyone, make sure you read the fine print of your contrat.

Le contrat entre les deux parties a été signé et entrera en vigueur dès maintenant. (The contract between the two parties has been signed and will take effect immediately.)

Whether you’re already in this industry or want to be in it, you’ll want to know the French umbrella term for Bitcoin and the like.

Les cryptomonnaies gagnent en popularité en tant que moyen de paiement alternatif sur le marché. ( Cryptocurrencies are gaining popularity as an alternative means of payment in the market.)

This is a person appointed to manage a company. Make sure you know who this is in your company!

Le directeur général dirigera la réunion du conseil d’administration demain matin. (The director will chair the board meeting tomorrow morning.)

This is what stockholders receive in exchange for owning part of a company.

Les actionnaires recevront un dividende en fonction des bénéfices réalisés par l’entreprise. (Shareholders will receive a dividend based on the profits earned by the company.)

Before you do business in France, make sure you know the droit des affaires inside out—or, at least, hire someone who does.

Le droit des affaires englobe un ensemble de règles et de réglementations qui régissent les activités commerciales. ( Business law encompasses a set of rules and regulations governing business activities.)

Of course, this refers to when a company brings new employees into its fold.

L’ embauche de nouveaux employés est essentielle pour la croissance de l’entreprise. ( Hiring new employees is essential for the company’s growth.)

In case you’ve been wondering how to refer to yourself in relation to a company you’re working for—well, here you go!

L’ employé du mois sera récompensé lors de la cérémonie de remise des prix. (The employee of the month will be rewarded at the awards ceremony.)

On the other hand, this is the state of being an employé.

La fluctuation du marché du travail peut influencer le taux d’ emploi dans différents secteurs de l’économie. (The fluctuation in the job market can influence the rate of employment in various sectors of the economy.)

This is what you hope to arrive at whenever you’re having negotiations with another party.

Une entente a été conclue entre les deux entreprises pour une collaboration à long terme. (An agreement has been reached between the two companies for a long-term collaboration.)

Need to prepare for an upcoming job interview in French? We’ve got you covered in this post .

L’ entretien d’embauche est une étape cruciale du processus de recrutement. (The job interview is a crucial step in the recruitment process.)

If the boss says your company is nearing faillite , you should definitely prepare for a job interview!

La faillite d’une entreprise peut avoir des conséquences financières graves pour ses actionnaires. (The bankruptcy of a company can have serious financial consequences for its shareholders.)

Can’t forget to send these out—especially where customers are concerned!

N’oubliez pas de régler cette facture avant la fin du mois pour éviter des frais de retard. (Don’t forget to pay this invoice by the end of the month to avoid late fees.)

If you’ve ever been requested to contact the fournisseur once in a while, now you know what it means!

The gestion is the group of people responsible for ensuring that everything in the company is (or should be) running smoothly.

Une bonne gestion est cruciale pour assurer le succès à long terme de l’entreprise. (Good management is crucial to ensure the long-term success of the company.)

As you can see, adding the suffix -aire to gestion transforms it into a word that means “a person who manages.”

Le gestionnaire de projet est responsable de la coordination et de la planification des activités. (The project manager is responsible for coordinating and planning activities.)

You’d definitely want to know what these are before you sign that job contract.

Les horaires de travail flexibles sont de plus en plus populaires dans de nombreuses entreprises. (Flexible working hours are becoming increasingly popular in many companies.)

This is a useful word to know if you’re working in payroll and accounting, or when you’re looking at your paycheck in French and wondering where most of your salary went.

L’ impôt sur le revenu des entreprises est généralement calculé en fonction des bénéfices annuels. (Corporate income tax is usually calculated based on annual profits.)

L’ informatique joue un rôle crucial dans l’efficacité des opérations quotidiennes de l’entreprise. ( Information technology plays a crucial role in the efficiency of the company’s daily operations.)

In a business context, intérêt refers to the extra amount or rate you pay on top of what you loaned.

Can you imagine going to a business meeting in France with no knowledge of business French? With a bit of reckoning and preparation, you can spare yourself a lot of embarrassment. All you need is a small set of business French phrases.

The world of work can be wildly different from one country to another, and when traveling somewhere for business—either permanently or as a visitor—you’ll have to quickly find your mark to make the best of your new business environment. 

In this guide to phrases for doing business in French, you’ll learn everything you need to work in France or conduct your business with French-speaking partners. We’ll cover everything from coworkers and meetings to job interviews, letters, and even professional phone calls. Let’s take care of business!

• Getting Started
• Business Words and Phrases
• Coworkers and Meetings
• Nail a Job Interview
• Emails and Letters
• Business Calls
• Le Mot De La Fin

1. Getting Started

Before we dive into specific business French phrases, let’s cover the basics and work on your first impressions. 

In this section, you’ll learn how to greet, how formal you should be, and what words and expressions you need to know if you want to work or conduct business in French.

1 – Greetings and Goodbyes

• Bonjour (“Hello”) is the magic greeting that works for everybody at almost any time of day. Literally meaning “Good day,” it’s neither too formal nor too relaxed, so you really can’t go wrong with it.
• Bonsoir (“Good evening”) is basically bonjour for evening and night.

When meeting someone for the first time, you might want to add a polite “Nice to meet you.” Here are a few options:

• This one can be used with anyone in any situation. It takes a final E in the feminine form.
• Ravi(e) de vous rencontrer. (“Happy to meet you.”)
• C’est un plaisir de vous rencontrer. (“It’s a pleasure to meet you.”)

Saying goodbye is even more straightforward. In any formal situation, always stick with Au revoir (“Goodbye”), and nothing else. Then, only once you become more casual with coworkers or business partners, you could use the relaxed Salut (“Bye”) or a similar alternative.

2 – “Tu” or “Vous”?

The French have two distinct pronouns for “you”: vous and tu (formal and casual “you”). Whenever in doubt, you can’t go wrong with vous .

A simple rule: Follow your partners’ or coworkers’ lead. If they use tu when addressing you, answer with tu . Otherwise, just stick to the formal vous .

2. Business Words and Phrases

Now we’ll introduce you to some of the most useful business French vocabulary. These are words and phrases that you’ll hear and use often in the French working world, so we recommend memorizing the ones that are most relevant to your situation. 

1 – The Company

We have two main words for “company” in French:

• Une entreprise
• Une société

There are some legal differences if you explore the working laws, but most people use both indiscriminately.

• Yves Rocher est une entreprise de cosmétique. (“Yves Rocher is a cosmetics company.”)
• Je travaille pour une société de transport. (“I work for a transport company.”)

In a more relaxed context, the casual word for “company” is une boite (literally, “a box”).

• Je bosse pour une boite d’informatique. (“I work for an IT company.”) Note that I’m using the verb bosser , which is the casual slang term for travailler (“to work”).

Here are a few technical business French terms you might want to learn:

• Le bureau (“The office”)
• Un open space (“An open space” / “A bullpen”)
• Une société par actions (“A joint-stock company”)
• Une multinationale (“A multinational company”)
• Une PME (Petite et moyenne entreprise) (“SMB – Small and medium-sized business”)
• Une association (à but non lucratif) (“A non-profit organization”)

Une entreprise (“Company”)

2 – To Work

Now, here are some useful words and expressions for talking about work and employment.

• Travailler (“To work”)
• Bosser [Casual] (“To work”)
• Gérer (“To manage”)
• Recruter (“To hire”)
• Chercher un emploi (“To look for a job”)
• Un métier (“Occupation”)
• Le travail (“Work”)
• Un boulot [Casual] (“Job”)
• Un taf [Slang] (“Job”)
• Un poste (“Position”)
• Une carrière (“Career”)
• Un stage (“Internship”)
• Un contrat (“Contract”)

3 – Top Business Words

You’ll notice that some words have a feminine form and some words don’t. I’m only adding the feminine form when it’s relevant and commonly used. This is because, in many cases, it’s still customary to use the masculine form for any gender.

Let’s start with the workforce:

• Le personnel (“The staff”)
• Un employé [Male] / Une employée [Female] (“An employee”)
• Un stagiaire / Une stagiaire (“An intern”)
• Un apprenti / Une apprentie (“An apprentice”)
• Un cadre (“An executive”)

The management:

• Le patron (“The boss”)
• Le PDG – Président-directeur général (“The CEO”) 
• Un directeur / Une directrice (“A director”)
• Un manager (“A manager”)
• Un employeur (“An employer”)
• Le comité de direction (“Top management”)

And now some departments and geographical terms:

• Le siège social (“Head office”)
• Une succursale (“A branch”)
• Une filiale (“A subsidiary”)
• Les ressources humaines or RH (“Human Resources”)
• Le service marketing (“The marketing department”)
• Le service des ventes (“The sales department”)
• Le service technique (“The technical department”)
• La comptabilité (“The accounting department”)

Le PDG (“The CEO”)

4 – Talking About Money

If you’re doing business, chances are you’ll eventually find yourself talking about money.

Let’s start with the basics before we move on to some technical financial vocabulary:

• L’argent (“Money”)
• Un salaire (“Salary”)
• Un bulletin de salaire (“Payslip”)
• Une avance (“An advance payment”)
• Une retenue sur salaire (“A payroll deduction”)
• Les impôts (“Taxes”)
• Les charges salariales (“Wage costs”)
• Veuillez joindre votre RIB à ce formulaire. (“Please, attach your bank details to this form.”)
• Les bénéfices (“Revenue” / “Profit”) Le bénéfice net (“The net revenue”) Le bénéfice brut (“The gross revenue”)
• Le chiffre d’affaire (“Turnover”)
• Mes actions sont en hausse. (“My stocks are rising.”)
• Mes actions sont en baisse. (“My stocks are declining.”)

3. Coworkers and Meetings

Now that you have a large business vocabulary to talk about companies and money, let’s dive into more specific topics, starting with your coworkers’ meetings. Quite a program, right? No worries, we’ll keep it simple!

• Un collègue (“Colleague” / “Coworker”)
• Un partenaire (“Business partner”)
• Un associé (“Associate” / “Partner”)

Now, onto the most useful French business phrases for interacting with coworkers and speaking up in business meetings.

1 – Asking a Colleague for Help

It’s perfectly fine in France to ask for assistance if you don’t understand something, if you’re lacking some important piece of information, or if you just think your current task should be tackled with outside help.

Below, I’ll write some example sentences using tu (casual “you”), as this is by far the most common way to address your coworkers unless you’re working in an unusually uptight work environment.

Est-ce que tu peux m’aider ? (“Can you help me?”)

• Tu pourrais m’expliquer ça ? (“Could you explain this to me?”)
• Je ne comprends pas ce document. (“I don’t understand this document.”)
• Est-ce que tu sais utiliser ce logiciel ? (“Do you know how to use this software?”)

2 – Thanking or Congratulating

• Merci pour ton aide. (“Thank you for your help.”)
• Merci pour le coup de main ! [Casual] (“Thanks for the help!”)
• Bon travail. (“Good work.”)
• Excellent travail ! (“Excellent work!”)

3 – Raising Concerns

You can have many reasons to voice your concerns, and in most places, French employees do so rather freely. If something is wrong, good managers will always prefer to know the hard facts than having you sugarcoat it and later find out the truth.

Ideally, you should express your concern in a polite and constructive manner, showing that you’re trying to solve a problem and not just complain for the sake of it.

• Je n’ai pas été formé pour cela. (“I haven’t been trained for this.”)
• Le délai est trop court. (“The deadline is too short.”)
• Nous n’avons pas le budget pour ___. (“We don’t have the budget for ___.”)
• Nous n’avons pas les ressources pour ___. (“We don’t have the resources for ___.”)
• Nous n’aurons pas le temps de terminer. (“We won’t have enough time to finish.”)
• Il faudrait reporter cette réunion. (“We should reschedule this meeting.”)
• Il y a une erreur dans ce document. (“There is a mistake in this document.”)
• Nous n’avons pas de documentation là dessus. (“We don’t have documentation on this.”)

4 – Making Apologies

We all make mistakes, and as long as you’re not denying them and take accountability, you should be just fine!

• Je suis désolé. (“I’m sorry.”)
• Désolé pour tout à l’heure. (“Sorry about earlier.”)
• Désolé de ne pas avoir pu t’aider. (“Sorry I couldn’t help you.”)

It’s all about working through your differences.

5 – Afterwork Mingling

Getting to know your coworkers or business partners is important, and France has a well-established tradition of handling crucial decisions and agreeing on lucrative contracts over what we call déjeuner d’affaire (“business lunch”).

Among colleagues, it’s also common to have a drink after work or meet in informal settings to get to know each other better.

• Tu travailles dans quel service ? (“In what department do you work?”)
• Tu bosses sur quel projet ? (“On what project are you working?”)
• Tu travailles dans l’équipe de Nicolas ? (“Are you working on Nicolas’s team?”)
• Tu travailles ici depuis longtemps ? (“Have you been working here for a long time?”)
• Tu faisais quoi avant de travailler ici ? (“What did you do before working here?”)

4. Nail a Job Interview

If there’s one situation where you’ll need a lot of business phrases and vocabulary, it’s certainly a job interview. You may have done well with your letter, and nobody saw you sweat during the phone call, but can you make it through the actual interview? Now is your time to shine.

You’ll need some practice to bring your game to the next level, but once you’ve rehearsed what you want to say and how to answer the most common questions, you’ll do just fine!

And now, here are a few examples of common questions in a job interview and how to answer them:

If you didn’t understand the question, don’t hesitate to ask the other person to repeat:

• Vous pouvez répéter, s’il vous plaît ? (“Could you repeat, please?”)
• Pardon, je n’ai pas bien entendu. (“Sorry, I didn’t hear that.”)
• Excusez-moi ? (“Excuse me?”)

Il passe un entretien d’embauche. (“He’s interviewing for a job.”)

5. Emails and Letters

Let’s face it, you’ll probably never send an actual letter for any business purpose in France. Surprisingly, we still use paper for a ridiculously big portion of our administrative procedures , but private companies moved to the digital era a couple of decades ago.

Nonetheless, you may read the word une lettre (“a letter”) in a business context. Just remember that we usually don’t mean a paper letter, and are rather referring to an email. This is the case for une lettre de motivation (“a cover letter”), for example, which nobody’s sending through the post office anymore.

When writing a French business letter, you’ll typically want to include three things before getting to the point:

1. Your personal details (name, address, phone number, email).

2. The other person’s details, to make sure it gets into the right hands. If you don’t know the person’s name, you can mention the name of the department. Another option is to write the name of the company and add à qui de droit (“to whom it may concern”).

3. [Optional] The topic of the letter, such as Candidature pour un poste de professeur d’Anglais (“Application for an English teaching position”) or Récapitulatif de nos conditions de distribution (“A summary of our distribution terms”).

Then, you should open the letter with a greeting. If you know the name of your reader, feel free to use it. For instance: 

• Monsieur Morel, (“Mister Morel,”) You should always use the last name.
• Cher Monsieur Morel, (“Dear Mister Morel,”) is not formal enough for a cover letter, but it’s fine for most business transactions. 

If you’re not sure, you can’t go wrong with: Madame, Monsieur, (“Madam, Mister,”).

There are tons of options for ending a French business email or letter, but you don’t want to be too submissive or old-fashioned. Here are a few timeless options:

• Veuillez agréer, Madame, Monsieur, mes meilleures salutations. (“Please accept, Madam / Mister, my best salutations.”)
• Veuillez recevoir, Madame, Monsieur, mes respectueuses salutations. (“Please receive, Madam / Mister, my respectful salutations.”)

6. Business Calls

In many big companies, Skype, Teams, or other similar audio conference solutions are already much more popular than phone calls. In the last company I worked for, I don’t believe I saw more than a couple of phones for 200 people.

However, in small businesses and administration, the phone is still alive and kicking. Luckily, the phrases and vocabulary are pretty similar to what we’ve covered already, except for a few added technical terms for online solutions.

Here’s some useful French for business phone calls and other long-distance interactions:

• Allo ? (“Hello?”) is toned as a question, to make sure the other person can hear you. It can be used over the phone or in online calls, but never in person (unless you’re in Quebec). Most phone conversations start with Allo ?

Then, you may want to make sure you’ve dialed the right number or that you’re talking to the right person:

• Bonjour, c’est bien le magasin Darty à Toulouse ? (“Hello, is this the shop ‘Darty’ in Toulouse?”)
• Bonjour, monsieur Morel ? (“Hello, is it monsieur Morel?”)
• Je cherche à joindre monsieur Morel, s’il vous plaît. (“I’m trying to reach mister Morel, please.”)
• Pouvez-vous me mettre en relation avec le service financier, s’il vous plaît ? (“Could you please connect me to the finance department?”)

Should you be on the other side of the phone, here are a few useful sentences to handle calls:

• Ne quittez pas. (“Hold the line.”)
• Je vous le (la) passe. (“I will put you through to him [her].”)
• La ligne est occupée. (“The line is busy.”)
• Est-ce que je peux prendre un message ? (“Could I take a message?”)
• Est-ce que vous voulez patienter ? (“Would you like to hold a moment?”)
• Pourriez-vous rappeler plus tard ? (“Could you call back later?”)

Allo, monsieur Morel ? (“Hello, is it mister Morel?”)

And finally, here are a few expressions for online calls specifically:

• Est-ce que vous m’entendez bien ? (“Can you hear me well?”) Oui, on vous entend très bien. (“Yes, we can hear you very well.”)
• La connexion est très mauvaise. (“The connection is very bad.”)
• Je vous entends assez mal. (“I can hear you rather poorly.”)
• La connexion a été coupée. (“The connection was lost.”)

And of course, remember the old trick you’ve learned talking to your mother-in-law:

• Désolé, ça va couper. Je passe dans un tunnel ! (“I’m sorry, you’re breaking up. I’m going through a tunnel!”)

7. Le Mot De La Fin

In this guide, you’ve learned everything about business French phrases, from useful French vocabulary to business letters, emails, phone calls, and workplace interactions. Did I forget any important topic you’d like to learn about?

Do you feel ready to jump right in and start handling your French partners in their native languages, or go and apply for a French company?

Written by ej ray, destinations | europe | france | travel tips.

Heading to France on business? France is an ideal destination for business travelers and with these tips and recommendations, you can have a successful business trip to France. 

France is one of the top destinations for business travelers and with good reason. From its vibrant cities to its world-class cuisine and wine, France offers an excellent mix of business and pleasure. Organizing a business trip to France can be overwhelming, especially if you are unfamiliar with the country’s customs and culture. In this article, we’ll share some tips and recommendations for planning a successful business trip to France.

What's in This Article:

Travel Documents and Visa Requirements

First, ensure you have a valid passport and any necessary visas to enter France. If you’re traveling from the United States or other non-European countries, you’ll need a visa to stay for more than 90 days. Check with your country’s French embassy or consulate to determine your specific visa requirements.

Remember you must have a current passport valid for your travel.

Coach Hire in Paris

Paris is a bustling city, and getting around can be challenging, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area. Renting a bus in Paris is an excellent option for business travelers. A reputable bus company in Paris can provide you with a reliable and comfortable mode of transportation, allowing you to focus on your work rather than worrying about getting lost in a foreign city. Look for a company in Paris with experience in corporate transportation and excellent customer reviews.

Accommodation for Your Business Trip to Paris

France offers many accommodation options, from luxury hotels to budget-friendly hostels. When selecting your accommodation, consider factors such as location, amenities, and accessibility to your business meetings or conferences. If traveling with a group, consider renting an apartment or a villa instead of separate hotel rooms. This option can save you money and provide more space and privacy. We recommend you check out Rentola to see if you can find the ideal accommodation for your trip to Paris.

Business Etiquette during Your Trip to Paris

The formality of French corporate culture is highly valued; thus, it’s crucial to follow specific etiquette conventions to present a professional image. Business wear is often formal and conservative, including suits or dresses for ladies and suits and ties for men. Additionally, as timeliness is highly regarded in French society, appearing on time for meetings is crucial.

Communication

Even though English is widely used among businesspeople, French is the official business language in France. As a sign of respect for the language and culture, learning a few simple French phrases is always preferable. Use formal titles and surnames, such as “Monsieur” or “Madame,” while speaking with French people unless you are encouraged to do otherwise.

Dining and Entertaining During Your Business Trip in France

France is known for its excellent food and wine , and business meals are often essential to doing business in the country. It’s common for French business people to entertain their guests with lavish meals in restaurants or private homes. If you’re invited to a business meal, dress appropriately, arrive on time, and be prepared to eat and drink in moderation. It’s also customary to send a thank-you note or email after the event to express gratitude for the invitation.

How to Say “Have a Good Trip” in French: Formal and Informal Ways

When wishing someone a good trip in French, it’s important to consider the formalities and regional variations. Whether you’re saying goodbye to a friend, a coworker, or a family member, here’s a guide on how to express your well wishes in French.

Formal Ways to Say “Have a Good Trip” in French

When addressing someone in a formal context, such as a business setting or with someone you don’t know very well, it’s best to use the following expressions:

Bon voyage – This is the most common and straightforward way to wish someone a good trip in French. It can be used in both formal and informal situations. It translates directly to “Have a good trip.”

Example: Je voulais juste vous souhaiter un bon voyage et espérer vous revoir bientôt. (I just wanted to wish you a good trip and hope to see you soon.)

Bon séjour – This phrase is used to wish someone a pleasant stay at their destination. It translates to “Have a good stay.”

Example: J’espère que vous aurez un bon séjour en France. (I hope you have a good stay in France.)

Bonnes vacances – If the person is going on vacation, this is an appropriate expression to use. It translates to “Have a good vacation.”

Example: Passez de bonnes vacances et profitez bien de votre temps libre. (Have a good vacation and enjoy your free time.)

Informal Ways to Say “Have a Good Trip” in French

When addressing friends, family, or colleagues in a more casual context, you can use the following expressions to wish them a good trip:

Bon voyage – Just like in formal situations, “Bon voyage” is commonly used in informal settings as well. It remains the most versatile and widely used expression.

Example: Passe un bon voyage et ramène-nous des souvenirs! (Have a good trip and bring us back some souvenirs!)

Passe un bon séjour – This phrase is used in an informal context to wish someone a pleasant stay.

Example: Amuse-toi bien et passe un bon séjour à la plage. (Have a great time and enjoy your stay at the beach.)

Profite bien – If you want to wish someone to make the most out of their trip, “Profite bien” is a friendly and informal way to encourage them to enjoy their experience.

Example: Sors, amuse-toi et profite bien de ton voyage. (Go out, have fun, and make the most out of your trip.)

Regional Variations

While French is mostly standardized across different regions, there might be some variations in local or regional expressions. Here are a few examples:

Beau voyage – This phrase is more commonly used in Quebec and some parts of Canada to wish someone a “beautiful trip” instead of a “good trip.”

Example: J’te souhaite un beau voyage en Europe, profites-en bien! (I wish you a beautiful trip to Europe, enjoy it!)

Bons bains de mer – In coastal regions, you might come across this expression, which means “Have a good time at the seaside.”

Example: Passe de bons bains de mer et reviens-nous en pleine forme. (Have a good time at the seaside and come back in great shape.)

Now that you know the formal and informal ways to say “Have a good trip” in French, you can confidently express your best wishes to others before their journeys. Remember to adapt your expressions based on your relationship with the person and the context of your conversation. Whether it’s a formal or casual goodbye, your warm and heartfelt well wishes will surely be appreciated.

A Parisian Adventure: Planning the Perfect Day Trip From Paris

Craving a taste of French countryside, medieval history, or artistic inspiration? A day trip from Paris unlocks a world of possibilities

Camilla Amadi • Apr 29, 2024

Beyond the Eiffel Tower lies a treasure trove of destinations waiting to be discovered. Craving a taste of French countryside, medieval history or artistic inspiration? A day trip from Paris unlocks a world of possibilities and you can return to the City of Lights with renewed energy and unforgettable memories.

5 Day Trips From Paris

If you have some extra time, there are many charming towns and villages waiting to be explored. We’ve compiled five enticing escapes, all perfect for a single-day adventure from Paris. Here are a few of our favorites:

Home to the iconic Palace of Versailles, Versailles is a must-see for any history buff. The palace was the seat of French royal power for over a century, and its opulent gardens and staterooms are a testament to the grandeur of the French monarchy.

Things to do: Visit the Palace of Versailles, explore the Hall of Mirrors, stroll through the meticulously manicured gardens, rent a rowboat on the Grand Canal, visit the Marie-Antoinette’s Estate, and attend the famous Musical Fountain Shows (seasonal).

Best time to travel: The best time to visit Versailles is during the spring (April to June) or fall (September to October) when the weather is mild, and the gardens are in full bloom, avoiding the peak summer crowds.

Where to stay : Experience luxury at its finest by staying at the Trianon Palace Versailles, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel, offering elegant rooms and impeccable service just steps away from the Palace of Versailles.

This small village in Normandy is best known as the home of Claude Monet, the founder of Impressionism. Monet’s home and gardens, which he immortalized in many of his paintings, are now a popular tourist destination.

Things to do: Explore Claude Monet’s House and Gardens, wander through the flower garden and water garden, visit the Museum of Impressionisms, and take a leisurely walk around the picturesque village.

Best time to travel: The best time to visit Giverny is from April to October, especially during late spring to early summer when the flowers are in full bloom, and the gardens are at their most colorful.

Where to stay : Enjoy a peaceful countryside retreat at the Le Jardin des Plumes , a charming boutique hotel located close to Monet’s gardens, featuring stylish rooms and a gourmet restaurant with garden views.

Mont Saint-Michel

Mont Saint-Michel is famous for its dramatic tidal variations, with the surrounding bay experiencing some of the highest tides in Europe. During high tide, the island is completely surrounded by water, creating a magical and isolated atmosphere.

Things to do: Explore the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, walk along the ramparts for panoramic views, visit the historic village, wander through narrow streets lined with shops and restaurants, and take a guided tour to learn about the island’s fascinating history.

The city of Chartres is famous for its magnificent cathedral, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cathedral is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in France, and its stained glass windows are some of the most beautiful in the world.

Things To Do: Visit the Maison Picassiette, a unique mosaic-covered house created by local artist Raymond Isidore, using broken glass and pottery. You may also walk the labyrinth located inside Chartres Cathedral, a symbolic journey representing the spiritual pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Best time to travel: The best time to visit Chartres is during the spring (April to June) or fall (September to October) when the weather is mild, and the city is less crowded. 

Where to stay : Indulge in the historic ambiance of Chartres by booking a stay at the Best Western Plus Hotel Le Grand Monarque , ideally situated near the cathedral and featuring comfortable rooms and a traditional French brasserie.

This medieval town is located in Seine-et-Marne, about an hour east of Paris. Provins is known for its well-preserved city walls, its underground passages, and its annual Rose Festival, which takes place in September.

Things to do: Explore the medieval ramparts and gates, visit the Underground Galleries of Provins, attend a medieval festival or reenactment, explore the Grange aux Dîmes, and visit the Saint-Quiriace Collegiate Church.

Best time to travel : The best time to visit Provins is during the summer months (June to August) when the weather is pleasant for exploring outdoor attractions and when various festivals and events take place, celebrating the town’s medieval heritage.

Where to stay : Step back in time at the Maison d’Hôtes Stella Cadente , a unique boutique hotel located within the medieval walls of Provins, offering themed rooms inspired by fairy tales and a whimsical atmosphere that transports guests to another era.

Where to Eat, Stay, and Play in Cannes

Well before Cannes became synonymous with red carpets, the Côte d'Azur city was a destination for refuge and recovery. The buzz began in the early 19th century. Legend has it that a British lord en route to Italy with his ailing daughter was derailed by a pandemic and stopped off in a sleepy fishing village. Captivated by the light and the landscape dotted with olive, orange, and fig trees, he decided to build a villa in the hills of Cannes and a wave of aristocrats followed suit.

Then, in the 1920s, an American literary celebrity decamped to the French Riviera to soak in the sunshine and finish penning The Great Gatsby : F. Scott Fitzgerald’s sejour in the “the hot sweet South'' (his words) would provide a backdrop for his later work, “Tender Is the Night.” From a vantage point of nearby Antibes, Fitzgerald wrote, “In the early morning the distant image of Cannes, the pink and cream of old fortifications, the purple Alp that bounded Italy, were cast across the water and lay quavering in the ripples and rings sent up by sea-plants through the clear shallows.” Today, sherbet-hued structures still shimmer on the sea. The sun shines bright as ever 300 days annually.

While the city is best known for its star-studded film Festival de Cannes and palatial hotels, like the art deco Martinez and the belle époque Intercontinental Carlton , newer arrivals are infusing the scene with fresh energy—like the revitalized 17th-century Château de Théoule and the California-cool Maison Carla Rosa , as well as revamped iconic landmarks like Palm Beach , a Jazz Age members’ club once frequented by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. It’s the new golden age of Cannes, and the options for staying and playing are better than ever.

Whether you’re after a restorative retreat, a raucous Riviera-style party, or a sun-soaked destination to compose the next great American novel, there are so many reasons to visit. Here are the best things to do in Cannes.

Speed boats and yachts dock alongside Ile Sainte-Marguerite for La Guérite Cannes.

The seaside restaurant has been an institution since 1902.

Where to eat

A rule of thumb when traveling: food markets tend to be flanked by simple, straightforward spots frequented by locals. In the heart of Cannes, just off the Marché Forville, you’ll find Poissonnerie Forville, where the Cannois crowd sips crisp whites or Provençal rosés and grazes on briny oysters and platters of fruits de mer . At nearby Da Laura , an Italian trattoria, the decor is eclectic (flamingo pink walls, verdant plant ceiling, mismatched chairs) and the housemade pasta is perfectly al dente. Swing by Il Labo next door to pick up a bag of dry pasta and recreate their trofie with pesto or spicy penne arrabbiata at home. For a simple, sublime Italian dessert, Niva gelateria is a five-minute stroll away. There, the expert gelato makers use milk sourced from Italian Alps pastures, enriched with artisanal ingredients like Piedmontese hazelnut or hand-crushed dark chocolate.

On the rooftop of Hotel Belle Plage, Bella serves Mediterranean dishes that vary with the season and the chef’s daily market finds. Plates like whole sea bream with roasted tomatoes and lemons, and beef carpaccio with pine nuts and crushed pepper are meant to be shared. France may not be known for brunch, but Bella makes a case for it—late Sunday morning, the rooftop restaurant becomes a hotspot. Diners come for the crepe station and the homemade pastries and linger for the stunning sea views.

At Fred l’Écailler , a seaside restaurant in the quieter Pointe Croisette neighborhood, owner Fred Garbellini (ever sporting his signature red beanie) is onsite to scale (or écailler , in French) and serve the daily catches, plus shellfish, oysters, crustaceans, scallops, langoustines, and more. The sun-splashed terrace is prime real estate for polishing off a plate of crispy calamari or buttery ray with fatted capers.

Just off the Croisette Beach, Le Fouquet’s , from Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire, serves reimagined brasserie classics like “terre et mer” (essentially, surf and turf) tartare—an umami-rich marriage of finely chopped raw steak, smoked herring, red tuna, and Beaufort cheese. It would be a sin to skip the profiteroles, the molten chocolate poured tableside, as it should be.

From April to October, speed boats and yachts dock alongside Ile Sainte-Marguerite for La Guerite , an institution since 1902. Surrounded by Aleppo pine and eucalyptus trees, with jasmine-line paths and blond wooden tables and coco net shades, you might think you’ve arrived at a sleepy, rustic restaurant—a bait-and-switch for the party that awaits. On Athens-born Chef Yiannis Kioroglou’s menu, carefully selected products shine, with starters like seared octopus topped with flaky salt from Camargue and Greek salad with hunks of spiced feta, and mains like spiny lobster dusted with chopped chives. The DJ spins dance tracks, from La Bamba to Like a Prayer, to accompany the family style feasts. By the end of a meal, you might find yourself dancing on banquettes and raising Ouzo shots with a neighboring table of Los Angelinos, while an excited 30-something whispers his plan to propose to the girl next to him. The vibe is decidedly celebratory.

Opening in May 2024, just in time for the film festival, Palm Beach is setting out to transform Cannes into a culinary destination. The sprawling 23,000 square meter members club underwent a four-year renovation helmed by French Riviera architect, Caprini Pellerin, who restored the property’s Côte d'Azur glamor and revived its Hispano-Mauresque origins, with sand-tinted facades, French Comblanchien stone, bronze-coated finishes, and plenty of marble. In addition to La Petite Maison Cannes , where Chef Kioroglou’s menu features bright Riviera specialties like grilled eggplants with pistou and roasted baby chicken with lemon confit, the roster will include France’s first Nammos Beach Club , a Mykonos-born restaurant group known for its exquisite seafood and delicious parties, and Zuma , a contemporary take on Japanese Izakaya style dining.

The best things to do in Cannes

Hit the Forville Market, a bustling marché with local specialties like black olive tapenade and still-warm socca, the Niçoise crispy chickpea flatbread, and a technicolor flower market, open daily before 1pm. Then, get lost in the hilly, cobblestone streets of La Suquet, Cannes’ millennium-old old town, where you’ll find pocket-sized bars, boutiques, and family-owned restaurants serving typical Provençal dishes like foie gras maison and grilled lamb with thyme.

The Lerins Islands, named after the eponymous monks who took control of Cannes in the 4th century AD, are just a 15-minute boat ride from Cannes’ center. Visitors can explore the monastery on Saint-Honorat Island, where monks still live (and produce a Chartreuse-like liqueur called Lerina), or hike around the forest of eucalyptus and Aleppo pine trees on neighboring Sainte-Marguerite Island. Several companies provide transportation to the islands and boats depart in both directions regularly.

For hitting reset, Cannes has several spas to choose from. Opened in October of 2022, Spa Villa Belle Plage takes a holistic approach to wellness, offering tailored programs to deliver benefits that linger well beyond your visit. Designed by Paris-based, Jerusalem-born Raphael Navot (the eye behind Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers, Le 39V, and Silencio), the space feels serene and organic, with mineral materials inspired by natural caves. Spa experts offer everything from HydraFacials© to Watsu water massages to sports concierge services. “We take care of everything—energy, muscles, and mind,” Hôtel Belle Plage director Jad Aboukhater told CNT. Be sure to book a sweat session in the sauna, outfitted with a pink Himalayan salt wall to help purge the body’s toxins while restoring its naturally occurring minerals.

At the Spa Diane Barrière , guests have a lengthy menu of signature treatments from Paris-based brands Codage (like a gentle peeling treatment and a radiance boost facial) and THÉMAÉ (including an anti-age lift treatment, a purity and radiance facial). The spa also offers traditional body massages, gommages (scrubs), hydro-massage jacuzzi treatments, and more. In the same space you’ll also find a full fitness studio with personal training available by appointment.

Where to stay

In a city where grand hotels loom large in the visual landscape, smaller, independent properties are a welcome and much-needed addition, offering discerning travelers a stylish alternative. Opened in April of 2023, Maison Carla Rosa is a powder pink boutique hotel with a California-meets-Côte d’Azur aesthetic, set in the sleepier Californie neighborhood that was once home to Picasso. According to the owners, the warm color palette adheres to local building codes while capturing the breezy, west coast vibe they were after. The property features 12 one or two-bedroom apartments, each outfitted with a terrace and all but two with full kitchens. The owners chose artisans from around the world to handcraft the furniture and decor items, from the sleek rattan chairs to reclaimed wood side tables. Lined with tall cacti and shady palm trees and white midcentury loungers, the kidney shaped pool feels straight out of Palm Springs—ideal for escaping the heat and the high-season crowds on le plage.

A former 17th-century soap factory is home to one of 2024’s most anticipated openings on the French Riviera, Château de Théoule . Opened in March, the hotel features 34 rooms and 10 suites spread across a turreted castle, a modern Art Deco villa, and a charming fisherman’s villa. Just 20 minutes from Cannes by car or boat, guests will appreciate the chateau’s relatively remote location (a definite selling point when tourism swells in the warmer months), the private La Plage Blanche beach, and the boho-chic seaside spa with products from MyBlend by Clarins and KOS Paris. Rooms are decorated with a delicate touch, with velvet seating and custom linen curtains from Maison de Vacances, as well as unique antique furniture finds. At the hotel restaurant Mareluna, guests can dine en terrace overlooking the Bay of Cannes on dishes like wild turbot with palourde clams or Provençal escargot with fresh saltwort.

Hôtel Belle Plage has been drawing travelers to the gentle slopes of the historic Suquet district since its opening in June 2022. With sweeping views of the sea and the Esterel mountains, the cream-colored undulating building feels like a Greek island hideaway. The hotel has 45 rooms as well as eight apartments imagined as longer-term pied-à-terres (including a nearly 1200-square-foot penthouse) outfitted with fully equipped kitchens, coffee machines, and baby equipment (cots, highchairs, etc.) on request. Designer Raphael Navot’s interiors feature cool stone floors, terrazzo surfaces, smooth Scandinavian furniture, and pastel accents, like light matcha sofas and pale peach ottomans.

When it opened in 1913, the Carlton helped usher in the era of lux tourism for the little city on the Riviera. In 2023, the famed hotel reopened its rosy-marble-column-framed doors after extensive renovations led by Cannes-born interior designer Tristan Auer, known for his restoration of the Hotel de Crillon in Paris . Auer maintained the property’s Belle Epoque soul and paid homage to its history, while enhancing the modern amenities. The fitness center even has a full-size boxing ring where a champion pugilist offers private lessons. Rooms and suites are cast in bright- and off-white, refracting the luminosity that pours through the tall French windows. All told, the Carlton is one of the chicest addresses along La Croisette beach, not to mention, a celebrity favorite during the annual film festival.

Opened in 1926, the Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes is perched between the Croisette Beach and the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. The lobby hints at the property’s history, with soaring ceilings and gilded sculptures and cascading art deco light fixtures. Rooms feel more modern, outfitted in shades of cream and taupe, with sweeping bay views. Le Majestic re-opened 60 of its rooms in early 2024 after total renovations. The hotel also offers ultra-luxe suites, each with a distinct design theme (like Riviera and Christian Dior), and a penthouse suite with a heated rooftop pool and 360-degree views of Cannes, from the hills to the sea stretching across the horizon. The bar at Fouquet’s is buzzy year-round, with a thoughtful drink menu from veteran mixologist Emanuele Balestra. Onsite restaurants include Fouquet’s and Paradiso, a Mediterranean brasserie that opens during the warmer seasons.

The inspiration for Gausse’s Hôtel des Étrangers in Fitzgerald’s “Tender Is the Night,” Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc has welcomed cultural and literary elite—and the fashionable set more generally—since 1870. Picasso, Chagall, Elizabeth Taylor, the Kennedys—they’ve all called this secluded retreat their temporary abode. For today’s traveler, hotel highlights include restaurants led by Executive Chef Sébastien Broda, the Dior Spa Eden Roc, and private villa rentals. Understandably, it remains a celebrity favorite when the droves descend on Cannes each May for the film festival. Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc holds a certain allure, hearkening back to another golden age of Cannes while staying relevant and ever-chic for its future.

I'm an American who visited Costco in Canada. It may look identical, but it's not the same.

Posted: April 30, 2024 | Last updated: April 30, 2024

• Costco has more than 100 locations in Canada. 
• I visited a Costco in Niagara Falls to see how it compared to US locations in 2022.
• The Costco I visited looked identical to those in the US, but there were a few key differences.

Growing up, my parents loved Costco because they could purchase food for our family of four in bulk for low prices. I remember spending Saturday afternoons exploring the warehouse with my brother while my parents shopped for produce, snacks, and everything in between with their membership.

While Costco started in the US — its first location opened as a Price Club in 1976 in a converted airplane hangar in San Diego — the wholesale outlet is now in eight countries, including Canada, according to the company's website.

As I learned on a trip there in 2022, Canada is home to more than 100 locations, according to Statista . While in the country for the first time, I stopped by a location in Niagara Falls, Ontario, to see how it would measure up to US stores.

It turns out it's pretty similar, but I found a few things to be different.

The store looked mostly the same as the ones I've visited in the US. For starters, it was huge.

The largest Canadian retailer is Loblaws, a supermarket chain, according to Statista . Costco surpassed Sobeys, Metro, and Walmart, according to the same source. 

I thought the inside looked the same, too. Like in the US, the warehouse had an open layout with stands of products in the middle and floor-to-ceiling aisles stacked with groceries along the perimeter.

When I walked into Costco, I was immediately transported to my home country because the inside of the warehouse looked exactly like its counterpart stores in the US. 

Ramsey Monroe, a Costco fan who has been to more than 200 locations around the globe, previously told Business Insider that the layout is similar in every store she's been in. 

"If I ever feel homesick, I can just go to Costco," Monroe said. "I just feel at home at Costco, so no matter where I am in the world, it's just comforting."

The first difference I spotted between the US and Canadian stores was the addition of French labels on products in Canada.

According to a report from Statistics Canada , more than 20% of the country's population speaks French as their first language. 

While French is the primary language in Québec , according to the report, it's the minority language in Ontario — the province where I visited Costco. 

In the clothing section, I noticed a wider variety of jackets than I've seen in US stores. They ranged in price from $50 to $100.

Since winters are colder in Canada, I thought this made sense.

Canada has one of the harshest winters of any country in the world because of its high altitudes and location up north, according to the Government of Canada . Dressing for the weather is essential to combat frostbite, windburn, and hypothermia. 

While many of the products looked familiar to me, each Costco has locally sourced products. So, I scanned the store for Canadian labels to find foods I couldn't get back home.

All Costco warehouses locally source vendors , as BI previously reported. 

During my visit to the Niagara Falls store, I spotted maple leaf cookies, orange mango quinoa cookies, and Hungarian beef sausage among other items that I haven't seen at Costco in the US.

In the meat section, I noticed that most of the products were also sourced in Canada.

From bison burgers to wagyu beef, Costco stores in Canada have a wide variety of locally sourced meats.

The US has a variety of locally sourced meat and seafood as well, according to Costco .

I also saw dessert items locally sourced in Canada. And there was some candy that I rarely see in the US, like Aero — my favorite chocolate.

I see Aero chocolate bars — a popular treat in the UK and Ireland — in the US every so often, but they're not widely available in my experience. According to Mashed , they're hard to find outside Amazon.

So, I was surprised to see them being sold in bulk in this Costco. As I learned later reading Nestlé's website , it turns out the bars are widely sold in Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Japan.

In the coffee section, I noticed the store carried coffee from Tim Horton's, where I had breakfast just hours before.

Tim Horton's is a popular coffee brand and fast-food breakfast joint based in Canada. 

I got a breakfast sandwich and an iced coffee drink when I visited the chain and thought the food tasted fresher than that from most fast-food restaurants I've been to.

On my way out, I noticed the food court was selling poutine, a Canadian dish I haven't seen in US Costco stores.

Although I didn't get a chance to try it for myself without a membership, I noticed that the food court carried poutine , a popular Canadian dish that has three ingredients: fries, gravy, and cheese curds. 

Later in my trip, I went to La Banquise, a restaurant in Montréal known for poutine, and I really enjoyed it. The fries were crispy and greasy — just like I like them. I thought the gravy was reminiscent of Thanksgiving dinner, and the curds added a unique texture without adding too much flavor.

Ultimately, I found that the Costco I visited in Canada was similar to its US counterparts. Next time, I'd go back with a member so I can try the products unique to Canada.

Although I was outside of the US, visiting Costco in Canada felt like a taste of home. With a nearly identical layout to the American stores I've been to, I felt transported to my childhood as I strolled the aisles. 

If I ever find myself in a Canadian Costco again, I'll pick up some Aero, Tim Horton's coffee, and poutine.

French strike forces Ryanair to cancel more than 300 flights across Europe

Ryanair urges European Commission to protect overflights and keep EU skies open

Ryanair has demanded that the EU reform its skies after the airline was forced to cancel more than 300 flights across Europe scheduled for Thursday because of a strike by French air traffic controllers.

The cancellations come in spite of the withdrawal of strike action by one of the biggest unions, the SNCTA, which came too late to avoid disruption after France’s civil aviation authority asked airlines to cut flights.

Ryanair said 50,000 of its passengers would be affected because of France’s failure to protect overflights – where planes fly over the country without landing there – during industrial action.

It said most of the disrupted passengers would be simply flying over French airspace en route to the likes of Greece or Spain.

The airline called on the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen , to take action to protect overflights by law during air traffic control strikes, to allow Europe’s other controllers to manage flights over France during the strikes, and limit the power of unions to call strikes immediately.

Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said: “French air traffic controllers are free to go on strike, that’s their right, but we should be cancelling French flights, not flights leaving Ireland, going to Italy, or flights from Germany to Spain or Scandinavia to Portugal.

“The European Commission under Ursula von der Leyen has failed for five years to take any action to protect overflights and the single market for air travel. We’re again calling on her to take action to protect overflights which will eliminate over 90% of these flight cancellations.”

after newsletter promotion

Despite the French strike this week, O’Leary said he believed air travellers would see significantly less disruption over summer 2024 than during the past two years, when labour shortages and strikes limited capacity.
