@SophoifeSo funny! I’m a teacher of French and took a school trip to the Opéra Garnier a few weeks ago. We booked a private tour just for our group and I asked if we could have the tour in French, but slowly. I was told the only options were French or English. So we had a tour in slow, stilted English 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

I think the French are actually a bit more open to speaking English nowadays than when I first visited in 1968!  My friend and I thought we could speak French reasonably well, but whenever we asked for directions the answer would be in bullet speed French and all we could do was follow the pointed finger in the general direction and then ask again.  They have a problem with speaking French slowly!😅
