I did email Bruno. No response. I also had a discussion with the owner of a restaurant in Gran Case. Salary of the weight person is built into the price of the food. They do not rely on the Tips except for exceptional service and out the option of the patron.

There was a comment on the board expressing the opinion that the small cost of tiipping is minute compared to the cost of the entire trip. No disagreement here but I believe when the French attempt to take advantage of Americans it is not acceptable. In this case I confronted the waitress stating that the tip is included In the cost of the food.. As stated she said it was not him that you could not live without having 15% on the
bill.
