Answer #1

I’ve been to France a couple times and you should be just fine. In Europe they’re pretty cool with other languages, especially English. The menus get printed in both French and English a lot too. You’ve got a pretty solid chance too that the waiters have taken English too, since it’s usually required to take as a class. Either way though, try your best to speak all the French you know and they’ll REALLY appreciate it! Have fun!

Maybe differs between restaurants.
