Do people in Southern France speak English?They said no for people in Paris which was a big lie.?

If you go in places where there are tourists, you will find people who speak english, especially in restaurants, hotels and shops...

Just say "Bonjour" in french (which is very appreciated) and people would be happy to help you in your language.

Anyway, the signs language is universal ! :-)

Enjoy your trip in France.

like in every country, if you go in a major town, then you'll definitly find people who speak english.

However, I advise you to learn at least the basics. So you can survive even if you don't find anyone who speaks english.

I didn't find that a lot of people did but I also just try and speak French so I don't know for sure.

in France, English is learnt by most students in high school...
So most people speak at least basic english...
You will probably find french have a bad accent, but they do speak english...
And people in Paris speak english, it's a lie to tell the contrary, as it's a famous destination for holidays...

a lot of French people can speak some English

almost every french person can speak some english
