Hello Willy,
If you wish to go to Paris, it would be more effective if you'd learn French first!

English would be ok, but it would be really easier if you speak a little bit french ;)

I second what is being said above. People may end up finding it rude if one doesn't make a minimum effort to speck the basics of French language. (Such as : Bonjour, vous allez-bien? Il fait beau ce matin, hein? Vous avez vu le facteur? Donnez-moi une baguette pas trop cuite s'il-vous-plaît, etc...). I am French and I'm often bored at home. I can help you pronounce your words correctly over the phone, if you want. Free of charge !! ;)
