I went to Paris for a week 2 years ago January. It was WONDERFUL. I hope to be able to return again, the sooner the better. Everyone there was so nice and helpful and friendly. Thankfully they spoke better English then I spoke French. I thought I was ok with French until I went there and realized how bad I was. Thankfully I knew how to ask if people spoke English. I promise, I'll take more French lessons before I return
One thing I loved was how great the city was with being accomodating to international tourists. There were menu's, museum signs, business hours, and everything else, listed in 5 or more languages. How great it would be if it was more like that here in the US, at least in our big cities.
The only french movie I've seen so far was "Children of the Lost City" with english subtitles.
BTW -- I feel it's necessary for me to say, regardless of what some of our more narrow-minded leaders are saying, I hope American's will not resort to becoming "anti-French". Oh no, they disagree with us, we must hate them. SEESH!!
Anyway, you have a lovely country and I'd love to come back soon and see more of it. My cousin and her sons lived there for a year on a teacher exchange, they lived near Lyons and said how beautiful it was and how wonderful the countryside is as well!
