Any advice for someone visiting France?

That really depends on what you're into, and Paris alone offers a lifetime of stuff to see and do.

Perhaps the best thing Paris is known for is art as it home to three of the best art museums in the world: Musée National d'Art Moderne (Centre Pompidou), Musée d'Orsay, and le Musée du Louvre.

Paris is also home to some of the world's finest restaurants including Semptime, L'Epicure, L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Le Chateaubriand, L'Astrance, Pierre Gagnaire, and L'Arpége. But a word of warning - these restaurants are going to be quite expensive and you'll need to make reservations well in advance. You can just as easily get a delicious yet (relatively) affordable meal from any street-side brasserie. And of course there is also the McDonald's on Champs-Élysées. I'm not saying that you should eat there. In fact I frown upon eating American food when visiting a foreign country, but it's fun to pop your head in for a minute just to see what it's like.

France has a very rich history so be sure to check out some historical places. The Versailles Palace is perhaps most famous. Often overlooked, but just as exquisite is the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte. It is smaller than Versailles, obviously, but it was designed and built by the same people.

If you go to Northern France, check out Mont Saint Michel and some of the World War II beaches in Normandy. If you go to Southern France, check out some of the commune villages like Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Some of the famous artists like Chagall and Van Gogh spent time in places like these in Southern France.

One last suggestion, a person favorite: Check out Château de Pierrefonds. It's a Medieval Castle about one hour North East of Paris.

Before even thinking of where to visit, make sure that you pack right. France is a place with thousands of pickpocket-ers. So pack stuff that will make you look like you are definitely NOT visiting and actually LIVE in France. If you have a purse or any small bag like that, try to keep hold of the strap, without making it obvious that's what you're doing. If the bag has an outer pouch or pocket, flip the bag so the pouch or pocket is facing inward.

I know you said not to say that you should learn to speak french, because you know a little, so I won't. BUT, you need to learn how to understand French french. (French from France). In France, people speak like a thousand words a second (not really, but still).

Lastly, you HAVE to check out the Palace in Versailles. Also, anything in Paris is amazing, honestly. If you go to the Eiffel Tower, take the STAIRS. One, the line is shorter, Two you can stop and look at the view from the stairs. It's not as hard as you think, climbing those stairs. I did it when I was 12 years old. Have fun in France!

Learn to speak French like a Native-----or don't go.

At least try and learn "Do you speak English" in French.
