French etiquette includes keeping your hands on the table at all times, bread is placed directly onto the tablecloth not on the plate, tear bite-sized pieces from the bread instead of biting the whole thing, if asked to pass the salt or pepper only pass whichever is asked for, not both. Also, wipe your plate with bread after each course.
