    Why is it so hard to get a French speaking taxi driver in France?

    Why is it so hard to get a native taxi driver in any European country?

    No idea. Immigration or something, no bad thing unless it's a taxi driver.

    That makes you a genius ( FTFY) for using his services and not paying him.

Let's just say "we agreed to disagree"...His grasp of English improved markedly when I invited him to call the Gendarmes. Best free taxi ride I ever had, saved me 200 Euros anyway...

    In your case, I suspect contempt and pity were fairly high on the list also...
