and you wont need to speak a word of french.

Answer 2

Stick around all the common tourist spots in Paris -- the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre because these people usually hire workers who speak some English.

Also, some of the arrondisements in Paris, like the the 1st, 2nd and 5th arrondisement typically draw American tourists. Oh yeah and always keep your eyes peeled for McDonald's restaurants those are your emergency 'American' spots if you get overwhelmed with the French!

Why in the world would you go to Paris if you don't want to talk to French people?
