Which hand do the french hold a fork while eating?

The French traditionally hold a fork in their left hand while eating, with the tines facing downwards. This is known as the "continental style" of eating.

This contrasts with the American style, where the fork is held in the right hand, tines facing upwards, and used to spear food.

However, it's important to note that these are just general guidelines, and many people in France (and around the world) use a variety of techniques, including switching hands or using a fork in their right hand for some foods.
