[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t speak French- When you walk into a store or restaurant, greet the person with “bonjour” before asking if they speak English. Goes a long way. We got this advice before our first Paris trip a few years ago and never encountered any rude service. [/quote] This is a good one! I started with Bonjour, and then parlez-vous anglais? (par lay voo ong lay). And if it was a no, then you can pull out your phone or play charades. Having a cute kid helps with friendly service. Especially strollers! You get to skip the lines. Pickpocketing is a thing but not too crazy. I did get pickpocketed once in the lobby of the Louvre. So just pay attention in crowds.[/quote]
