Parlez vous francais?: Try to learn a few phrases
  • Tip Rating:
  • A few phrases in French will help you navigate the city better. Most people are friendly enough to help, but it is very rude to expect someone to know your language when you are the visitor. English is a widely known and spoken language, but most Parisians appreciate foreigners to be polite and at least try to say a few important phrases. Jot them down on a piece of paper and use them as needed. On the many visits that I have paid Paris I have never come across any rudeness or unfriendly people, on the contrary, they have all been very helpful.

     Janet, Paris is loveliest in May and every other month as well. Seeing your photos reminded me of the #1 gourmet dinner of all time I enjoyed at les Ambassadeurs au Crillon. oh mon dieu! Fantastique!

     Just found your pages. Great stuff on Paris. We've just started posting our pictures of Paris and Versailles from last October. Can't wait to get back. Hopefully I'll have some videos with music soon.

     Me again, coming back to have a look at the many updates and new tips that you have added to this page since August 31, 2007. Glad you are still just as enthusiastic about Paris as you were then!
