I don't think they're speaking French. I think the English subtitles are confused. (I assume that's where you're getting this idea.)

I've never been able to make out what the Japanese man says, but in reply, Bob says, "We...we saw the palace." (I'm paraphrasing, except for the "we...we" part.)

Referring to his conversation with the man, Bob then tells Charlotte (A bit confusingly) that his Japanese is getting better, so they started speaking English.

The Japanese guy mentions the Emperor's house and Bob responds:
"Oh oui, oui. The Emperor's house? Cool."
Then I think he says something about the ocean and somebody living in France.

When Bob tells Charlotte "we started speaking English" he's sitting with a woman. She looks like the woman who later is seated to Charlotte's right as Bob sings "What's so funny..."
