First, apply for a passport.

Now it's relatively simple, just take your ID card to the citizen service center or the exit-entry administration office where you live (you don't have to go back to the original place of your ID card).

Matters needing attention in traveling to France

1. French people usually shake hands when meeting guests in social situations, and girls and women often curtsy. When men and women meet, they often kiss their cheeks or face each other instead of shaking hands. The French also have the custom of men kissing each other. When two men meet, they should kiss each other on the cheek in public.

2. French toast on the dining table before respecting men, even if the status of female guests is lower than that of Japanese guests. Women should be allowed to go first. Go into the house first and sit down first. When visiting and saying goodbye, we also greet and thank the hostess first, and introduce the lady first when meeting. When you visit the French, don't forget to bring flowers.

Most French people believe in Catholicism, followed by Protestantism, Orthodox Church and Islam. They think the numbers "13" and "Friday" are unlucky and may even cause some disasters.

If you call old ladies "old ladies", they will be very unhappy. The French also taboo men to send perfume to women, because they are too affectionate and scheming. They don't want others to inquire about their political orientation, salary and personal affairs.

French female guests have the habit of making up, and generally do not welcome waiters to send fragrant towels. When talking with guests, the French always like to stand closer to each other, which they think is closer.

French people are used to using gestures to express or emphasize their meaning in conversation, but their gestures are different from ours. For example, we use our thumb and forefinger to represent "eight" respectively.

They said "two"; When expressing the concept of "it's me", we mean the nose, and they mean the chest. They also point down with their thumbs, indicating "bad" and "bad".
