I'd go to Barnes & Noble and buy a cheap translator. You may end up getting the wrong translation (if ya catch my drift) from some of the members of this blog.

You can't possibly learn all the French you'd need in a week, but you just really need the starters like
merci boucoup-thank you very much
merci-Thank you
Oui-Yes

Those are all I can think of off hand....if you just use these, the French will be much more polite to you, at least you are trying...have fun and don't forget your camera!

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to learn French in one week.
Bon Voyage & Bonjour.

For All That It's Worth

I don't know French that well, but here a few podcasts to look at on iTunes (you can try and cram in):

"The French Pod Class"
"Learn French by Podcast"

And some helpful websites:

You should go to www.bonjour.com; It's a Web site where you can learn the most commonly used phrases. They give you the English phrase that you need to translate, then, the French translation for it, and the spoken pronunciation so you can learn exactly how to say it properly.
