Anybody Speak French?

Okay. So you’re going to France and don’t have a clue how you’re going to communicate. Don’t panic. Really, don’t. You’re not the first person and will doubtfully be the last to ever plan a trip to France and not have a clue about how to get by. But it’s really not as hard as it seems. You don’t have to learn much, just enough to help you get by if you need to.

While you can easily go to any book store, or even online and purchase a translation book, it’s not that hard to learn a few key words and phrases that might help you get by on your vacation. At least, it shouldn’t be. But then again, what basic French phrases does one deem important?

Paris. Love stories(it is only a legend! More frequent are the lovers arguments in Paris!).

What to do in Paris? walk on the Champs Elysees; go with a boot along Seines, search the bouquinistes, visit Le Musee du Louvres, go to the Opera. Or , much better than all these, take a panorama of the City from the Tour Eiffel.

La Tour Eiffel, as the french name it, was at its beginning a controversial building. Gustave Eiffel, the designer of builder, was even imprisoned for this nasty ugly building rising in the heart of Paris. But the history build another story and value for the Tour.

The Tour Eiffel is not very new. It was build in 1896 when Paris hosted the World Exposition and made no big impression. The authorities draw already plans to demolish it in 1909 in order to rebuild a normal beautiful building! Fortunately, they did not achieve this plan.
