If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

Handshakes + Pros

In France there is a custom where you shake hands with everybody every day. Everyone you walk past who you know, not just randoms in the street, you shake their hand or tap palms twice. This has lead to me shaking hands with Juan-Martin Hernandez, Lionel Nallet, various Fijians and Francois Steyn on an almost daily basis.
