A little French goes a long way by Herkbert
One of our favorite things about Paris is the interaction with the people. Whether it is the desk clerk at the hotel, the merchant in a store, your waiter or waitress in a restaurant or people you encounter on the street, knowing a few words of french goes a long way. We learned a few phrases and some exra words, such as please, thank you and you're welcome and with a smile or a chuckle we got through our trip with ease. The people were more than willing to help and be friendly when they knew you were showing them respect by trying to speak their language.
