Language Proficiency in Western Europe

Dear monkeys,

My wife and I are planning to move to France in the next 3 years:

Aside French, what other languages are a *must* to work without issue based in France? 

Is German a must, given cross-border activity with the DACH Region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)? 

I'd love to know your thoughts, especially of you've had experience in this region or know someone who does.

Thank you!
