Excerpt from Northern France, From Belgium and the English Channel to the Loire, Excluding Paris and Its Environs: Handbook for Travellers I. Language. Money. Expenses. Passports. Custom House. Octroi. Language. A slight acquaintance with French is indispensable for those who desire to explore the more remote districts of Northern France, but tourists who do not deviate from the beaten track will generally find English spoken at the principal hotels and the usual resorts cf strangers. If, however, they are entirely ignorant of the French language, they must be prepared occasionally to submit to the extortions practised by porters, cab-drivers, and others of a like class, which even the data furnished by the Handbook will not always enable them to avoid.
