If it makes anyone feel any better, I'm also scared (and embarrassed!) by my French skills!!

<br>
I forwarded your request to some known participants in Paris meet-ups.<br>
But they are perhaps impressed (or scared) by your French speaking<br>
skills ;-)<br>
For those who are not, the date should be between Nov 13-17 .<br>
Enjoy your trip to Paris,<br>
