I always thought a berry, stripped jumper and a string of onions was all the safety wear the French needed.

Especially when coupled with the hand/arm gesture, palms upward Very Happy

In all seriousness, it doesn't hurt to carry a bit of flapjack around and nibble a bit to keep energy up.

I thought all Frenchy cyclists carried onions and a bagette with them just in case they had to run away.

The last paragraph made me chortle muchly Laughing

In seriousness tho, for laydeez travelling alone a wedding ring is a pretty essential bit of kit. I found when the french gentlemen sauntered up with all the "mademoiselle. . ." pointing at it and saying "madame" in a slightly stroppy tone got rid of them Cool

However it backfired on me when a rather gorgeous mechanic and i were discussing a bodge. He spotted the ring and said words to the effect of "oh you are madame". I couldn't muster the french to explain the situation without looking like an adulterous harlot. Gutted Sad He was lovely Wub

What grammar guides never tell you is whether it's more appropriate to proposition a stranger using "vous" or "tu". I'd be aghast at the proposition of making a grammatical faux pas while offering to rattle someone round les maisons. Embarassed

I think the travel guides you are looking for can be found on the top shelf of any quality newsagent, if there is a bit of a language problem these guides tend to have very good high definition pictures that should help johnny foreigner understand what it is you wish to do. Wink
