The French Art of social behaviour

In France and abroad...

Codes - Traditions – habits and customs – savoir-vivre – courtesy – education – language – diplomacy…  

The rules of good education are universal, cultural details enrich them further….  

People who know and use good manners will never tell you what it is correct to say or do or what it is impolite to say or do! That would not be courteous. Mercilessly they will notice your shortcomings, your failures to comply with the rules of savoir-vivre and what is correct and they will label you as "lacking education", a reputation that will stick to you forever.

BUSINESS

The need for good manners is essential in businesses; it's a kind of professional ethic. Manners make everyday relations easier; they are an asset for promotion up to the highest ranks. Testimonials from militants of savoir vivre.

A company's image is conveyed by its staff. Their behaviour in the way they establish contact, during a meeting and at the table, creates the first impression, which is crucial to successful business.

A few elementary rules of good behaviour and savoir-vivre can defuse conflictual situations arising amongst your staff.

SCHOOL

It has to be said that the rules of good behaviour and basic elements in good manners are being lost, particularly amongst the younger generations. 

Many managers deplore the fact that the company is also becoming the place where good manners have to be learned!!! A company is really not the right place…….

School is the last place where these fundamental values can still be learned. 

We want to return to young people a taste for the great traditions that have given France the reputation of being the country of the art of living and refinement.

INDIVIDUAL

Meeting a French aristocratic family in their own family surroundings is no easy matter in Paris.

In the private setting of a beautiful Parisian apartment, an aristocratic lady, used to applying the rules of what are called "good manners" from childhood, will explain to you the reasons why all these rules, which are the visible expression of good breeding and savoir vivre, have been developed.  

We want to perpetuate these ancestral traditions, these rules of good behaviour, through teaching by true aristocrats.
