Studies say around 30 to 50% of people in France can have a basic conversation in English. Fewer speak it fluently.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just France\u2014many people in English-speaking countries don\u2019t speak a second language well either.<\/p>\n<p>The good news? Younger French adults are more likely to speak English because they learn it at school and university.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Is It Rude to Speak English in Paris?<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking English in Paris is not rude. But expecting everyone to speak English can seem impolite.<\/p>\n<p>A simple way to be polite is to start with a French sentence like: \u201cBonjour, parlez-vous anglais?\u201d (Hello, do you speak English?). People in Paris will appreciate the effort!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Visiting Paris Without Speaking French<\/h2>\n<h3>Seeing the Big Sights<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8984\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/louvre-102840_640.jpg\" alt=\"The Louvre\" width=\"620\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/louvre-102840_640.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/louvre-102840_640-475x316.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/louvre-102840_640-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/louvre-102840_640-192x128.jpg 192w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Visiting the famous landmarks in Paris is actually pretty easy.<\/p>\n<p>Most places offer tours in English or have pamphlets to help you understand what you\u2019re looking at.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the Louvre, you can take guided tours in English.<\/li>\n<li>The Centre Pompidou offers 90-minute guided tours of the museum and its exhibits.<\/li>\n<li>Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur gives you free audio guides to download or pamphlets you can use during your visit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Getting Around the City<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/eiffel-tower-2000717_960_720_opt.jpg\" alt=\"View Paris Eiffel Tower\" width=\"620\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/eiffel-tower-2000717_960_720_opt.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/eiffel-tower-2000717_960_720_opt-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/eiffel-tower-2000717_960_720_opt-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Paris is a big city, so getting around can be tricky at first. It\u2019s one of the biggest cities in Europe by metro area.<\/p>\n<p>Apps like Google Maps can help, but you might still get lost in all the small streets (\u201crues\u201d) and big avenues.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to ask someone for directions, try talking to young adults\u2014they\u2019re more likely to speak English. Start by saying: \u201cBonjour, parlez-vous anglais?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still need help? Ask at hotel or museum front desks. Staff there usually speak English and know the area well.<\/p>\n<p>If that doesn\u2019t work, look around for paper maps.

You can also buy one at a newsstand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helpful French phrases<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cPourriez-vous me dire comment aller \u00e0\u2026?\u201d (Could you tell me how to go to\u2026?)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cJe cherche\u2026\u201d (I\u2019m looking for\u2026)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cY a-t-il une station de m\u00e9tro\/de bus pas loin ?\u201d (Is there a metro\/bus station nearby?)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Using Public Transport<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/metro-1.jpg\" alt=\"Metro\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/metro-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/metro-1-475x316.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/metro-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/metro-1-192x128.jpg 192w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Paris has metros, buses, and RER trains.
