It’s magical - practically everyone in this city speaks great English now. Whether it’s the train ticket agent or a bakery or restaurant or a volunteer at the games - it’s like someone told the French to be at their best behavior in these Olympics and just converse in English if they see someone not speaking French. Compared to two years ago we had so much trouble even with a French speaker in our group 😆. Dear French, just be like this all the time please!
