#  How do you get around?

  In Paris you get around via the subway and the bus. It is a great transit system and once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to get around on. In Carcassone and Nice I got around on the bus around, again, very good, on time busses. In the Alps, and smaller regions you may need a rental car.

#How is the food?

 The food is very good through out France. Each region has its own specialties and you should try those specialties. The wine is also very good.

# Does anyone speak English?

It is necessary to know 3 phrases in French. Parle Vu Ungle. Merci and Pardon. Those translate to do you speak English, thank you and excuses me. If you combine those three phrases there is a good chance that the person will admit to speaking a little English. Even if they don't they will be grateful you tried French and perhaps try to help you out.

# What should we bring?

Small camera and film. Film is expensive.Comfortable walking shoes, a hat and Sunscreen,ATM card with a 4 digit pin,a good attitude.
