I always like to do a double whammy of speaking French in France because just attempting it is not always a good idea and pisses some of them off. So you need to get them off guard first then get your question in.

So,

Pardon, j'ai du le fromage de pantalon. Parlez-vous anglais?

[Narrator: do not actually say this]

Why not? Usually after they stop laughing or looking deeply disturbed they usually answer me in English if they had the answer.

Even worked in Paris. So... As my own narrator I'm saying "say this".
