Dining in France



If you are travelling to France
And in a restaurant attempt to speak French
There is a language trap that may cause confusion
The similarity between a French bread and an upholstered bench
In French a tempting bread
Is called a baguette
A comfortable bench for seating
Is called a banquette
So if you order the bread
You may find yourself moved to the bench
If desiring the comfortable bench
They may bring the bread instead
In the best of all outcomes
This situation you may ace
Eating the tasty bread
In a very comfortable place
