Business Etiquette

Business Etiquette

Business in Bordeaux is quite a formal affair. It is customary to address colleagues with the appropriate Madame, Monsieur, Professeur or Docteur followed by the surname and a handshake. Business cards (preferably in French and English) should be presented. And even leisurely southern France expects colleagues to arrive promptly.

Business attire tends to be smart and chic - light suits are a must for the hot summer months. Standard business hours in Bordeaux are Monday to Friday 0830-1200 and 1430-1800. Lunch meetings are common.
