Paris Guide for the Indian in Paris

This site is really wonderful, would like to thank the members who are actively involved to make this happen.

My family including 2 kids are visiting Paris for 2 days sightseeing in the 2nd week of August.. As we cannot speak French, will there be any Indian Tour Guide who can help us take around Paris..

If not, how difficult it will be to travel in Paris for sight seeing by speaking only in English and NOT knowing French.

Also any info for a place to stay like a Hotel or House for 2 days will be great.

Any tips / advise is much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

RR

Hello RR,

Paris is a very touristic town. In touristic places, you will always find people speaking English. Also, just about anywhere in the street, if you need to ask your way, you will always find someone speaking at least some broken English, especially the younger generations.

In the Metro, signs and directions and indicated in French, English and some other languages.

It is useful though to know a few words, how to pronounce something to get people to understand you better (or how something pronounced in French may be written).

You will find a section with some useful pronunciation rules, greeting phrases and phrases useful in restaurants in this site.

As for the guides, you will find in every touristic place a guide speaking English. If you are only staying for 2 days, then getting a guided bus tour will certainly be time and cost effective for you (such as Cars Rouges - they provide commentaries in English too)

You will find information about Hotels & Accommodation here too.

Hope that helps you,

Enjoy your stay in Paris

Thanks a bunch for sharing this info.
