@OpticParsley345, on Air France local or long haul flights I heard were mostly using French when approaching LFPO or LFPG, except when they needed to share specific situations regarding weather or events they just met with others flights. Maybe it is not a written rule but it seems to be a smart behavior.
@Jimrh1993, having live ATC feeds and ATIS is very immersive and very instructive. Especially when you are following a real flight using FSLTL FR24 injection. You get the right active runways, approaches and weather. I know that we can also get interactive talks using VATSIM but I find that the immersion level and the ambiance are higher using real ATC. I have 2/3 of France enroute coverage in liners (with main Parisian airports approaches and towers), and an available radius of 80/100nm in GA VFR. So it gives me a nice playground. 
EDIT: I forgot to mention… On the motion rig in VR, my buddies are super demanding in terms of realism
