As someone who's traveled through French-speaking regions, you go into neat little restaurants during off-peak hours. Speak the language and show interest. You'll get extra attention and potentially a little freebie. Bonus: Not a criminal!

That's insane. I can't imagine how intensely you learn the language. I've been to France and lived in a French-speaking region for a bit. You don't learn anywhere near that quickly.
