Sign outside Côte d'Azur establishment lists price of coffee as €7 but 'Bonjour, un café, s'il vous plaît' costs only €1.40
The manager of the cafe said he had not yet had to enforce the politeness policy, and admitted the sign was more of a gentle reminder than a serious threat.
"It started as a joke because at lunchtime people would come in very stressed and were sometimes rude to us when they ordered a coffee," Pepino told the English language website the Local.
"It's our way of saying: 'Keep calm and carry on.'"
He added: "Most of my customers are regulars and they just see the funny side and exaggerate their politeness.
"But people are more relaxed now, and they're smiling more. That's the most important thing."
Would that work in Canada?
