Where do French people go on vacation? Can they even go to another country if they only speak French? How would they even communicate?

I’m used to communicate with french teenagers in english bc their parents who had been coming here consistently for the last 40 years’ summers can’t even say “bon dia”
Grunting does the job for me.
I met one couple in Norway once, asking for directions. They asked if I spoke french, sadly my only foreign languages are english and german.
Why go anywhere when you already have the best country of the world?
I go to Italy every year and speak french to them. It works like a charm.
They go to Sicily and they skip lines.
Ist this one of these photorealistic drawings of a fr*nch specimen?
While you need a lot of foreing langages hidden in your caravan with enough provision to survive zombie appocalypse….
They go to other countries and refuse to speak English to anyone around them.
Bah on va en France troudballe vu qu’on bite pas un mot d’anglish
Unfortunately here in South tyrol. And they drive worse than Italians (almost impossible).
Also they expect you to talk to them in french.
10 years ago I met a couple of retired compatriots at the airport of Alice Springs (Australia). They were in the middle of a 3 months trip around Asia (and Oceania, obviously), by themselves (definitely not an organized trip). The most amazing part is also the most believable: they didn’t have a single word of English between themselves…
That’s the nicest photo of Gérard Depardieu that I have seen in a long time
Either they just vacation in france or they go in another country and just pretend everyone is french. Once a french tourist stepped on my foot in Barcelona: she excused herself in french and just continued talking to me in french without even knowing whether I understand anything at all.
Where ? Dans ton cul, bien sûr.
Sorry, to be more precise, in your wife’s vagina, when you’re camping here. Warm place with not much talking to do.
Lots of Frenchies visiting the US in NYC. You guys talk a hard game online, but irl you guys friendly af.
Can confirm, also very curious how they got here without speaking English .
you live in such an ugly boring country you need to flee abroad for leisure. the french cannot relate
French tourism is going to buy Marlboro gold 100s from a convenience store in another neighborhood.
We mostly go to France unironically.
Don’t need to go abroad when you are the land of gods
How did you get a picture of my father ??
1) we don’t need to go elsewhere we already have everything at home. (Best geography in the world, tones of overseas territories if we want something “different”
2) if we really want to go aboard, whatever the language we will speak french. (In 2016 I saw a french Karen shouting in the street of London “people told me that everyone speak french in London” and she was talking to everyone in french.
Go to New York, only french there.
3) my parents told me that in Italy, waiter are very friendly and everyone try to communicate and sometimes they speak french.
There are some poor countries in Africa where they speak that funny language..
They point and we give it to them. It’s actually pretty simple
I’m that guy at the restaurant in Spain who loudly speaks French and refuse to speak another language even if I’m fluent in English and Spanish. When I go to Italy, I always criticize the food and say the French (and real) version of the dish is much better. I point out how ugly women are when in the U.K. I mention nazism at any small inconvenience while in Germany. I speak English to Belgians. I tell the Dutch Napoleon should have finished the job.
We have everything in France, no need to go elsewhere
The people in France are already in another country.
Let that sink in for a moment.
St Martin, Canada or that place where they eat Guinea Pigs.
That monke is clearly Neapolitan
Funny that people say the French stay in France for vacation, because wherever I travel abroad it’s full of French people. To answer your question seriously, younger French travelers often speak a broken English that’s enough for what they need, but I’ve seen older French tourists speaking French in street markets in Indonesia lmao it was a sight to see
Simple, they just speak French and get understood by long suffering hotel staff
-Hotel worker in Finland
They go here in Brittany
We make the rain fall and we speak in breton to make them flee and never go here again, but it doesn’t seem to work 🤷
Why the picture of Barry though?
We don’t need to go anywhere else since we don’t live in a shithole.
Are we going to pretend that this is limited to France?
When I want to be understood by a foreigner, I shout
