"Hello" in French is "bonjour" (boh[n]-JOOR), which literally means "good day" and can be used from the morning until sundown. In the evening, "bonsoir" (boh[n]-SWAR) is more appropriate.

Among young people, "salut" (sah-lew) is the most common greeting, and if you're good friends with someone then "coucou" (koo-koo) is a cute way of saying hi.
Bonjour
When answering the telephone, one would usually say 'allo.' But when greeting someone in person, it is usually 'bonjour' (good day). 'Bonjour' is frequently the word used when in English the speaker would say 'hello' in the same circumstances. 'Bonjour' is a more polite word than 'allo.'
