This document provides etiquette and protocol guidelines for business interactions in France. It discusses appropriate dress codes, conducting business meetings, and gift giving customs. The dress code recommends understated, dark-colored business suits for men and elegant dresses or suits in soft colors for women. Business meetings require appointments made at least 2 weeks in advance and are not the place for decision making. Certain flowers like white lilies, chrysanthemums, and red carnations have meanings that should be avoided for gifts. Proper etiquette is important as French society emphasizes formality.
