To politely ask a vendor to lower the price in French, you can use the following phrases:

  1. “Pouvez-vous baisser le prix ?” – Can you lower the price? 2, 4
  2. “Quel est votre meilleur prix ?” – What’s your best price? 2
  3. “Pouvez-vous faire un meilleur prix ?” – Can you offer a better price? 2
  4. “C’est un peu cher, vous pourriez faire un geste ?” – It’s a bit expensive; could you make a gesture (offer a discount)? 6

For added politeness, you can include s’il vous plaît (please) at the end of your request. Using conditional forms like “Pourriez-vous…” (Could you…) also softens the tone and makes your request more courteous.
