Can someone at least point me to a detailed explanation of when to use Tu. I am 74 and I have assumed nobody will tutoyer me automatically. I would prefer not to tutoyer someone else merely for some hierarchical reason, so I am focusing on the vous form (as does Pimsleur, which I am also using). But, if I go to a French Meet Up in America, will everyone be using Tu? And what about visiting Guadeloupe?

Can anyone let me know what is the correct meaning of comment vous vous appelez?
Is it you call yourself... or your name is... ?
And, why do we use comment vous vous appelez? instead of Quel est votre nom?. and what's the difference between these two?
