French.
Saint Bernadette spoke the regional language "Occitan". She was not well educated in the French language.
Christian Dior was French, so he spoke French as his primary language.
The Romans spoke Latin, but it wasn't used as the " main language " in Europe. The church used Latin in it's services, but the common man didn't speak it. Kings often spoke and read several languages. One of the main languages used was French. Even today French is used in the English court and menus for the queen are in French. For 300 years no English king spoke English and only knew French.
He spoke French, but also spoke Italian and English fluently.

he has a European accent. *the person means a french accent* He spoke French - is that an accent? He spoke French and had a french accent. Yes, french is an accent as well as a language. Example: If I say I have a french jacket, I mean that I have a jacket that is from France. When I mentioned that Monet had a french accent, I meant that he spoke french with the accent of someone who is from France, versus, let's say a French-Canadian, Haitian, Belgian accent, etc... An "European accent" doesn't really mean much because there is no such a thing as an European Language. Many languages are spoken in Europe, as well as multiple countries that speak french (France and Belgium) and the language that Monet spoke was French, with a french accent. Hope that sounds more clear now.
