Question

Is it true that is not good to make eye contact with people in France?

Answer 1

Je ne sais pas.

Answer 2

Not true.  Actually, I think there is more eye contact when conversing with French people than with other nationalities!

Answer 3

depends. It is not good if you hate having fun and making friends.

That goes for the kind of french people you'd think of when you think "France". But  there are neighborhoods that do not look very french anymore and were it is not good not only to make eye contact - it's not good to go there, period.

Answer 4

moi aussi, je ne sais pas.

No, being serious, now...I highly doubt it!

Answer 5

Not to make eye-contact is quite rude or do you say HI to someone and look at the floor...

Answer 6

that's not true, it's rude to speak with someone without looking at him/her, and not only in France I think!
