Anybody have any tips on how to survive in Paris?! I am going soon and I've heard a lot of them are snobby and my Francais is not great... Knowing my luck I'll get lost, miss my train home and get stuck there lol

Maybe I should try 'Del Boy' French... They'll get so annoyed they'll have to speak English!
