Present Perfect is usually used in conversations, because the people who are talking are speaking in the present:
Kyle - Have you been to France before?
Paola - Yes, I have.
Kyle - Did you like it?
Paola - Yes I did. I went up the Eiffel tower in Paris, I went to the mountains, and did many other things that I don't think you have done.
I even ate a French Bagel.
Kyle - You did!? I have never eaten that before.
Paola - You haven't eaten a French Bagel before? I thought you said you ate a French Bagel in Switzerland.
Kyle - I have eaten Bagels before, but I haven't eaten French Bagels before.
* The word have has two other meanings:
1) As a verb: I have a lemon.
2) As a conditional: I could have gotten there on time if my car had started.
