Yes, you can,. there is actually no requirement, in Franc,e for

Indeed, there was quite a fuss a year or two ago when controllers at
Charles de Gaulle demanded that American and British pilots speak in
French.

Then perhaps you can point me to a record of the incident, as I would be
interested in reading about it. I've never heard of a problem like this in
France before.

Last time I checked, CDG was in France.

Guess you're wrong again.

The last legitimate incident of this kind that I heard of was in Québec.

How can one be wrong with a question?

Where's the article on this incident?
