French is the offifical language that is spoken in Paris. English is sometimes understood, but it's mostly not spoken.
The type of money used in Paris is the euro. The euros are neat because each quantity of the euro is a different color, and the higher the number, the larger the euro. For example, the five euro is a greenish/gray and the smallest bill, the 10 euro is red and a bit larger, the 20 euro is blue and still a bit larger, and the 50 euro is orange and the largest of those euros. As I mentioned before, the five euro is the smallest amount you can have in the form of paper. The one euro and two euro are coins! So I carry around a coin purse.
A bottle of water in Paris costs about .78 centimes (which means cents in French). The exchange rate between the United States currency and the euro are pretty close, so the water bottle in cents would cost about .82 cents.
My favorite meal is at a restaurant called Le Circus (Circus has the same meaning in French). The meal is called "Le Chèvre," which means the goat. It is a goat cheese salad with proscuitto (fancy shaved ham), lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and my favorite ingredient, roasted potatoes!
