Tips in France

I'm on vacation in a far away place, which is why I haven't been blogging as much over the past couple of days.  So, anywhere you go, you always ask yourself, 'How should I tip here?'. 
I bet a lot of people ask that question in France.  The French do not tip as much as many cultures.  The reason is, the price generally includes the tip.  This really pertains to restaurants.  At a meal that costs you around 35 Euros, it's odd to tip them more than 2€.  On the other hand, you should give them something.  If you take a taxi, you generally round up.  For example, if the total comes to 23.50, you'll round up to 25€. 

That's just a little tip for the day.
