My only visit to France was back in 1985. Beautiful country, beautiful sites to visit, beautiful scenery, but we were definitely looked down upon because we couldn't speak French, especially in the large cities. Fortunately, many of the signs along the roads and in the subways, etc., were either international symbols or also written in English.

We stayed in rooms in the small towns nearby, though, and had a wonderful time, and were treated well, and had a great time.

only way to go in almost any foreign land---see the 'real people' not the city 'snobs'---then again, our big cities have the same type of 'so called superior snobs' in them-
