Why the French Never Give a Tour

Guests arriving at a French home are shown to a seat, not around the flat. The house is not on display, and asking to see the rest of it would be slightly odd in both directions.

Next time someone arrives, take their coat, give them a drink, and sit down. Skip the tour entirely. Notice how much faster the evening starts.
