In a survey, conducted by French market research institute IFOP for the weekly newspaper Dimanche Ouest Twelve percent of French adults said they were fluent in English, six percent said they understood and spoke it well, and 48 percent said they "more or less" understood English but did not speak it fluently.
Only 34% said they didn't understand English at all.
There is virtually no part of France which does not have a substantial tourist trade. People who are in the tourist trade are likely to learn at least some English because so many people speak Englush as their first langugage and it is the de facto sencond language of tourism.
Outside of major cities in France the percentage of people who do not speak English does rise but it is not the case that "almost nobody speaks English." |

it all depends on the age category?
i certainly do speak English, German, Italian,
most of my friends do speak English as well;
English is the second language offered in most school nowadays,and the young ones, prefer the English language,
German used to be the only option...... |

Many people are capable of speaking English, but intentionally make it difficult for visitors who refuse to make an effort to speak French. Just take a phrasebook and have a go at a few phrases. Once locals see you're trying (but having difficulties) they'll do their best to help! |
