At Gare du Nord, I was all at sea, An anglophone drop, in a French sea, oui, "Je parle anglais" was the last straw to hold on, *How would I navigate to place D'italie?
From Gare du Nord, railway station, Paris, to PlaceD'italie, my destination,with only the phrase "I know English"(meaning 'Sorry no French") to communicate and seek help, it was really an expedition proving the effectiveness of sign language!
