Reims is pretty tiny but a relatively nice town. If you stay a bit there I'd definitely recommend visiting a Champagne cellar, they are really interesting and you learn a lot about the drink itself...plus you'll probably get to sample it as well.

Hello-Paris

I'm French living in Paris,
I've been in Reims a long time ago. Reims is the main town from the Champagne area at about 150 km in the East from Paris. A rather great town but of course little in comparison with Paris.
There is a very well known cathedral.
WIth the TGV (High speed train), you are at only 45 minutes from Paris.
The main phrases in french :
Good morning : bonjour
Good evening : bonsoir
Thank you very much : Merci beaucoup
Can I drink a glass of wine ? : Est-ce que je peux boire un verre de vin ?
I don't know this family.
About Disneyland, everything is worth seing...as you want.
There are a second park about cinema also interesting.

its defo best to be courtious to the shop keepers etcas theyr big on being polite so keep with the "Bonjour Monsiour/Madame/Madamoselle" et "Mercis Ouvoir"...

If you need directions>>
Ou se trouve/Ou est: (where is...where ever you want to go)
1) Le Cathedral
2) (sont) les toilettes
3) le banc
4) le pattiserie/ boulangerie (butcher)/boucherie (baker)/epicerie (grocers)/supermarche/marche (market) etc
5) l'entree (the entrance)

If you want the time>>
Excusem'oi, Quelle heure est il? (excuse me what time is it)
Le magasin/musee ferme/ouvre a quelle heure? (the shop/museum closes/opens at what time?)

Ordering stuff>>
Je voudrais.../J'aimerais../Vous Avais.../Je prendre... (I would like, i would like, do you have, illl take)

2) le fromage (the cheese)
3) le poisson/poulet (fish/chicken) etc etc
4) l'eau (the water) (L-o)

Excuse me: pardon/excuse'moi (excuse-em-moi)
Puis-je avoir des "oreos"? (Can i have some "oreos"?)

If you havnt been to france before: the pastrys at pattiseries and the ice creams are great! In paris the cartedior ice cream parlour/store is brilliant and reasonably priced so if you go by stop in!

If you want an ice cream or sandwich then remember that the flavour/description comes AFTER the noun. I forgot last visit and they didnt understand me at all!! (une glase fraise - a strawberry icecream)

..email me if you want any more phrases or advice lol.

Havnt been to Reims but i hear its lovely and sceneric etc! And dont miss out on the ice cream.
Disneyland paris is a bit naff really i would say that you shouldnt really waste your euros and time on it but if its a skl trip and you have to go then dont waste time and energy trawling around looking at allthe rides cos its best and more fun if you find a few lush ones to keep going round and round on those ones!

hope this is of help to you

Well, never been to France nor do I know the family you speak of, but I did take 2 yrs of French in high school, so I might be able to help you w/ a couple of phrases. Spelling them will be awful, so I'll spell them like they're pronounced.

Est ca je peu allez a al toilette? (Ess ka ja 'soft j' pu allay a la twalette?) Means, "May I go to the bathroom?" (I don't remember the word for "where," but I think it's Ou a la toilette? Where is the bathroom?)

C'est mon chien! (Say mone shee'en) That's my dog! LOL

Est ca je peu une bierre? (Same as above and it's "oon bee-air") May I have 1 beer? Very important! LOL

Je suis aujente du fere votre conaissance. (Ja 'soft j' swee awjuntay doo fair votray coneessance) I am very pleased to meet your acquaitence. Yeah, I butchered that spelling and probably the pronunciation, but I tried.

Ma faux. (Ma foe) My fault.

Hope that helps and my French teacher would kill me if she knew I taught someone the beer and dog ones! LOL Have a great time and safe travels!
