I have to use this page for help

1 – Keep Both Hands Over the Table in France

You should keep your hands on the table, on each side of the plate, in a relaxed manner. Palms may be down, or your hands can be on the side, but both hands should be on the table, never under the table on your lap.

2 – How to Politely Hold Your Knife and Fork in France

When holding your knife and fork (le couteau et la fourchette), your index finger should be extended on the handle. In France, we never hold our knife or fork in a fist like position at the table, even when we are cutting something.

The fork will always be placed to the left of the plate, and the knife on the right. The knife with the sharp edge towards the plate.

3 – Fork Tines Up or Down in France?

This is a tricky one, and not everybody agrees. Most French table will have the fork tines up. I don’t really know why, some say it is not to damage the table cloth…

Other people put the tines down. If you have real silverware, there is often some pretty drawing / initials on the handle and it’s prettier that way. I prefer setting my table with fork tines down, but I know this is not the case in the majority of French homes…

4 – What about Le Porte-couteau? Many restaurants won’t have un porte-couteau (a knife rest) because… well, they are going to wash the tablecloth anyway, so who cares if you leave a big spot with your knife? Well, I don’t wash my tablecloth after each meal in my house… So I like to use them :-)

5 – How To Indicate Your Are Done Eating or Not With Your Silverware in France

Between two bites, put your silverware at 4 and 8 o’clock on the plate, but not crossing, nor falling out of the plate to indicate you are still eating.
