What cultural blunders should I try to avoid making in Montry?

We asked people in Montry if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. They wrote:

"In Montry, it is best to take the time to research and understand the local customs before engaging with people, as there are certain cultural taboos and traditions that can be seen as offensive if not respected. As such, it is important to be aware of acceptable body language and gestures. For example, avoid aggressive body language, or showing the soles of your feet, as this is regarded as disrespectful. Additionally, it is best to follow local etiquette with regards to dress; Montry is traditionally quite a formal town so avoid wearing excessively casual clothing. Finally, be courteous when communicating and try to avoid topics such as politics or religion, as these can be sensitive topics and can cause offense," said one person in Montry, France.
