One thing you should... by elaine2u
One thing you should definitely learn to do before going to Paris is to learn how to say a few basic French words properly (I mean it! Properly). Especially the greetings ('Bonjour' for 'Good morning', 'Bonsoir' for 'Good evening', 'Bon Nuit' for 'Good night', 'Merci Beaucoup' for 'Thank you very much' and 'Au revoir' for 'goodbye'.) I often heard, before taking my trip to Paris, that Parisians were not friendly but I found out that they respect you for respecting them, their language, their people and their city. I had no problems, I met Parisians who were very helpful and friendly.
