Only advice is to learn some little filler phrases to keep a conversation (albeit with the baker) going for a bit…

eg. “Ah, bon?!” for “oh, really?”

“Merci, c’est gentil” for “thanks, that’s kind of you”

and “Ah oui, c’est dur…” for “yes, it’s tough…” (this to be accompanied by nodding sagely)

Bon chance! M
