    Bonjour, parlez-vous anglais?

    That’s my baseline for speaking French. 99% of the time the French are gracious and switch.

    The few times someone has responded “non” we use pidgin franglish or pantomime whatever we need to discuss. Haven’t had someone be a jerk about French or English in France for almost 20 years.
