I have been to Paris twice and stumbled thru my 30 year old high school French. I didn't have the same experience as katwoman. We hardly found anyone who spoke English. I would suggest a phrase book, software if you can find it, maybe download an audio Speak French lesson to an SD card and practice on the way. Even at Disneyland we found people who spoke little or no English. Not to mention I found people were much nicer if you were making an attempt to speak the language no matter how bad you were at it!! Have a great trip & good luck finding a program that will work!
