A guy from France told me that if I travel there but I can't speack a proper french and nether a proper english I souldn't boder people on the street for asking anything even if I try to speack with them in a languege ,or even body languege.Do all french people think like that?

Travel Tips

i'm French and Parisian and i'm appalled by the reputation we seem to have

i'm always very patient with tourists, even if they don't speak French nor English... i met Russians, Asians and all trying to get directions without speaking anything else than their language....and with body language, maps, and approximate pronunciation of streetnames etc. it IS possible

so i think you can try... you might find rude people or people in a hurry etc. but i'm sure you'll also find loads of nice people that would just feel guilty to let you wander around, completely lost, and would therefore make their best to help

well that would be true anywhere. If you don't speak either the local language or some english you might have trouble finding your way.

It's not impossible, just much much harder.
aren't you tired to ask the same question over and over again?
From personal experience there are some VERY rude people in France. There are a few that will be patient with foreigners though.
I'm tired of your crappy spelling.
Respect us, we might respect you back.
You would have trouble in Paris, where the French people are well educated and tend to be impatient with poor attempts at the French language. However, in the countryside, your attempts at French will be appreciated. Bon Voyage!
I traveled in France and have studied French since I was 9 year old.
