Hmmm, as much as I would like to go, I'll have to bow out on the Paris date. It's just too far from the 3 scheduled in November and I don't have that much vacation days left from work.

Same here Sir Wood. If I were to get to anything, it would have to fall on a weekend, and even then it's a long shot!

Survive because your English and it's all in France? Ha ha, no problem. The trick is to learn some very basic French, especially question words, if you intend to ask questions. Everyone will be very pleasant and helpful so long as you can convince them that you are more cultured, intelligent and honestly interested in French than the average anglophone tourist (who are mostly middle to upper class Americans, so it isn't that hard).

Paris, though, is kinda like it's own country. It's overwhelming simply because it's such a big city. You might need a move in-depth survival guide if you plan to go there, especially if you plan to go alone.

Edit: Oh, in the event that I am mistaken and you speak French, then you are far beyond the toughest barrier and should no trouble at all (but approach Paris with caution).

No, the language isn't the problem, I know enough to survive, nor is the place, i've been there several times in my life, what I am scared of...

Is how i'm going to explain to my father why I boarded a chunnel to France instead of attending five paid-for football game tickets that he gave to me.

That and yeah, i'm going alone, I need a friend sometimes, lol.

Edit: Looking like an idiot isn't a problem, due to my mother's roots I am 50% French-born and have been raised around the sound of spoken French.

I'm guessing they used a picture the French will instantly recognize. After all, that is how they remember her.

They can meet the adult Alizée when they go to the concert.

Simple. You are delving into your French heritage. You can go to a football game anytime. (However, If you can, try to resell the tickets and give him the money. This will show you respected the cost of the gift).
