Is it cold in Paris? The general feeling is that Parisians are very enthusiastic.
In fact, if there is a sense of distance, East Asia and Northern Europe are both regions with a strong sense of distance, but France is relatively enthusiastic. In France, it is normal for people to greet each other. Even strangers can greet each other. The service industry is enthusiastic and likes to joke. It is not cold at all.
Of course, there will be some problems if you don't know the language, but the French won't look down on people who don't speak French. They don't like speaking English because they despise it, but they really don't. The average English level of the French is very poor.
Generally speaking, as long as you learn the simplest greetings and polite expressions such as merci, s' ilvouslait, the French will never be stingy with your friendliness and enthusiasm.
Unable to find the way in the subway station, the French took the initiative to show the way; In the subway that opens the door manually, it can't be opened, and the French help to open it; The waiter in Chateau Chantilly can't speak English, so we use translation software to communicate without barriers!
What if you can't speak French when traveling in France? The French also speak English. It doesn't matter if you don't know French. It doesn't matter even if you can't speak English. There is translation software on the mobile phone that can travel around the world!
In fact, ordinary people are not indifferent at all, and they are especially helpful. We will go to Paris for three days this time, and we will be taken care of by the kind people in Paris at the subway station every day. When we stand in front of the subway route map, someone will always come and ask you.
Ok or something; Once I couldn't find the subway entrance and asked an elder sister, who also answered enthusiastically.
The French don't use English very much, but when you speak English to them, they can answer you. They certainly don't despise anything, but there is no English in the tips or broadcasts in many public places in Paris. Just pay attention to this.
