All europe in one realm, what could go wrong?

English is the western world's 'common'.

French is France's common.

I've lived in touristy areas, and I'm always happy to help visitors around who need help. I've even guided some tourists around local monuments just for the fun of it. I must have dealt with over a dozen nationalities and few languages.

But it's incredibly rude to just assume people speak English (or any foreign language for that matter). I'd be far less inclined to help these people out.

That's not the only way to go about traveling though.

It seems the way of travelling you prefer is theme park tourism, where the country only exists as a backdrop to your experience and your selfies. I wouldn't be saddened if that form of consumption could be thoroughly eradicated.
