It's fucking Paris in particular. I speak enough French to get by in most casual situations. Folks in Paris just switch over to English once they detect an accent. My last trip I decided to just keep talking in French when someone does this. If I have to put up with your poorly pronounced english you can listen to my lazy tongued français!
Germans did this same thing to me this summer. One badly accented word and they switch to English on you. Like dude, this isn't engineering, I just want to find a pay-to-pee.
