What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Le Robert?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Le Robert if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"In Le Robert, it's important to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as race, politics, and religion unless you are very familiar with the person you are speaking to. It's considered rude to interrupt someone while they're speaking, so always wait for your turn to speak. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, especially in religious or formal settings. Martinique is a French territory and follows a more European style of dress. Don't be too direct or confrontational. Martinicans, like many Caribbean cultures, value politeness and indirect communication. Avoid being overly loud or boisterous in public places. Martinicans value tranquility and peace. Don't refuse an invitation to someone's home. It's considered a great honor and refusing can be seen as disrespectful. Avoid littering or disrespecting the environment. Martinique is known for its beautiful landscapes and locals take pride in preserving it. Don't assume everyone speaks English. While many people in Martinique do speak English, French is the official language. Avoid being late. Punctuality is important in Martinique, and being late can be seen as disrespectful. Don't forget to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on both cheeks. This is a common way to greet people in Martinique," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Le Robert, Martinique.
