You need to explore the entire country, not just the tourist traps. You'd be pissed too if you worked with tourists 24/7, 365.

Some Parisians can be a bit cranky. I like them anyway. People from Provence are nice af.
garfunkle4U
The few french i have met close the the german border after hiking the kiaser stool (bad spelling) were warm, friendly, and inviting people
LemmiwinksKingofGerbils
I visited Paris only twice and as a tourist, but every time I've only encountered nice, polite people.
Blackbird2Raven
I know ppl who say the French are assholes & ppl who say they're lovely. The ones who say theyre assholes are themselves privileged assholes
soso456
Well that's a fact. People finding assholes everywhere are usually assholes themselves :)
thesplashingblumpkins
In my experience, the best French people (and other nationals) I meet are the ones that travel outside the country
Crawlerguy
i totaly agree on that
beanblanket
Every French person I have met have been bloody lovely.

Same, super nice people. Though, I s'pose I was cut some slack in Paris as an American thanks to me wearing the FRN Club shirt on.
bringbakfirefly
I'm French, and I don't like any of this shit.
UselessCargo
As a non-french speaker who visits Paris. Learn 5 friendly French greetings, use them, apologize, ask to speak English. Works Wonders. (1)
UselessCargo
They feel much better with their English (usually very good) once they hear your not-so-good French; this works in most prideful countries.
iRecommendBooks
Learn to say "Hello", "Thank you", "I'm looking for", "Goodbye", and "I'm sorry" in french. People will be *delightful* to you.
LazerChicken
French people outside of Paris are awesome. You could say the same about large cities in the US. NYC vs NY State for example.
HauntinglyBeautifulStatements
I mean, when I went to NYC people were incredibly nice and helpful. It's all about who you meet and how you act. There are dicks everywhere.
LostInTheSauces
I like that answer, you're spot on!
BigRedSpec
I've found people in big cities to be pretty nice wherever I've been - Paris, Istanbul, Frankfurt and Munich, NYC, Amsterdam, Dublin. . .
Strongharbour432
Paris was mostly beautiful, but it scared the shit out of me to walk around at night

I don't swing that way but yeah there are plenty of handsome Frenchmen
grilledslug
I find Parisians among the most polite people in the world. It helps if you don't show up to their country assuming they speak English.
DildoSchwagins
I found that if I would at least greet them and ask if the spoke English in French first they were 5x more willing to help.

Was in France for exchange program and had a brief little affair with a cute french tomboy. One of the rare good moments in my life.

It's true if Paris is the only city that count. come to Lyon, we love people. and money, but people too.
DildoSchwagins
I plan on going back to Europe after a graduate from Uni, and I want to go to Lyon just based on Anthony Bourdain's tv episode there.
YourMumKnowsMe
Lyon was nice, I loved the bridges and the church at the top which lets you see the whole city.
Tylmir
Yay it's the Basilique de Fourviere :) lovely place
YourMumKnowsMe
Have so many great photos of it.

Lyon might be the shittiest city in France. Just don't go there

A few people who traveled to Paris said it looks increasingly Arabic compared to 15 years ago. Is it true?
PacomeDeCardognac
oui! i love the arab accent in french, its superb, almost as good as a soft german accent.

Oh yeah, I was just there. Lots of Arabs, and armed Military.

always remarkable to us frenchmen: we hate italians more than we hate other frenchmen.

I can confirm having visited both.
roflwafflesauce
Was in both countries last year. Had the exact same experience.

I'm surprised how often France gets shit 'reviews', I loved it. I was treated like garbage in Italy, it was actually upsetting.

Same!
BlumpkinsAnonymous
Completely agree. Everyone in France were so nice and extremely helpful. Whereas literally everyone in Italy was a loud selfish dick
Phayzzer
balzanya
I mean... they are Italian after all.
DocVolt
For me it was the opposite.. but ehy I couldn't know, I'm Italian
DonaldFuck
Opposite for me, altough I visited the Sardinia so it may be different than actually Italy.
Crawlerguy
i love Italy and dont like anything related to France much ,incl. food and wine (both are better in Italy anyway)
Phayzzer
I'm not sure. I'm an avid beer drinker myself but the food in both countries was fantastic. BUT hands down the best ham ever was in Italy
GirlWithAGlock
My experience has been exactly the same. Have traveled to 14 European countries. Only one where the people were rude/ unwelcoming was Italy.
MrBilboTbaggins
Either I was lucky or you were unlucky because every person I met in Italy was very nice

What part of Italy? Rome?

Venice, Rome, Florence annnd small parts of Siena. There where small areas where people were lovely but I will never go back

Pretty witty. And I suppose it can be easy to get that impression if you only visit Paris.

Eh, got that impression outside Paris too. Felt like if you didn't know that language and customs you were looked down upon. 1/2

Even when I tried speaking the language most would just look insulted at you butchering their tongue
angrymanzerobar
Truth. I lived in Rouen for a year. People were fantastic.
kfigs
I've been to Paris 9 times, and the only person who wasn't lovely was obviously an immigrant w/ the same nonexistent grasp of French as me
Trustmeiminaband
I feel like they're only rude if you don't take the time to learn basic parts of their language, if people constantly came and only spoke
Trustmeiminaband
French to you in a non french speaking country you might get a little annoyed after a while too
Trustmeiminaband
If you're gonna travel it's kinda your responsibility to at least attempt to know how to ask for stuff in the countries main language

Indeed.

Everyone I met in Paris was really great to me. "Bonjour" "Merci" "Je suis desole" "Au revoir" "Pardon me-" is all it took.

So true. I found Parisians to be rather rude in contrast to other French cities. Though Marseille came in a close second. Go to Lyon!
