French manners and politeness

I just stumbled across the following article and realised the number of 'faux pas' I have committed during my time in France.

Mastering French manners, The hard way.

So Happy Christmas to you all, and for those spending their time in France remember not to put the Foie Gras on the toast with your fork, don't help yourself to wine, and keep your elbows on the table.

France 24

A new TV station for 24 hour news as been started called France 24

It's a bit like BBC News 24, or CNN, but with a French perspective. It's available streamed on the web in English, French and Arabic. It's also available in English to Sky Digital satellite television viewers on channel 515

I've watched it a little and it certainly seems to be more 'international' the the other news channels, which stick mainly to UK and US news stories.
