Before our trip, my daughter and I both read French or Foe by Polly Platt. A very informative book about the French. We both tried to always speak French when asking for directions etc. We found almost everyone spoke English back, but they appreciated our attempts. Most menus had an English translation as well. We found everyone to be most helpful and polite. An employee at the post office got all 20 postcard stamps for me from the machine. (I never would have figured that out) and the uniformed doorman at the Musee D'Orsay knelt down and buttoned my granddaughter's coat for her! The French LOVE well behaved children. They went out of their way to assist us. Because we had a collapsible stroller (which my granddaughter had no intention of using - left it in the hotel after that ), we were ushered to a separate entrance and were wisked down to the bottom of the pyramid at the Louvre ahead of everyone! If you go EXPECTING them to speak English, you are going to be disappointed. When in Rome....

Great photos and tips too ! | CHAMPY Thu May 1, 2008 17:45 UTC
Just a perfect painting of the all PARIS through your shots.. Well i know Paris but, it seems while looking at yours pics, that some details and areas were overlooked by my eyes.. Good job and nice commentaries you did Virginia.. | maestrousmc Tue Apr 29, 2008 00:43 UTC
Virginia, thanks for sharing your tips and your inspiring photos. They've certainly captured the city's femininity and grandeur. Brava! | Jessy_OLE Sat Apr 19, 2008 21:36 UTC
