Having spent two delightful weeks in Paris in 2012, I have my doubts about the accuracy of this list. I could go anywhere easily; order in English, experience great European history and generally found the Parisians to be friendly and helpful. The list is pushing stereotypes.
I never went to Paris but my Navy ship pulled into Brest, France once. I enjoyed that, the people were really nice. I was expecting bad from what I’d heard about France but they were great.
I was taken a little aback by the people feeding their little dogs at the table in local restaurants, but no big deal, just different. When in Rome....
I did a tech-assist visit to the Egyptian Air Force once and I don’t ever want to see that skiffy country again unless I’m bombing it.
I love Paris, i fact, I love France. Like anywhere else, there are unfriendly people and there are lovely people. We’ve come in contact with very friendly folks throughout the country. We’ve found the italians to be rather rude with the exception of those in the north. That being said, my favorite place to visit, so far, has been Capri. Absolutely magical. The Amalfi Coast was spectacular and I did enjoy Venice. Naples was disgusting and Rome and Florence too crowded. We would return to Lake Como and the area around it.
Last year, we visited Virgin Gorda and found it beautiful and the beaches were some of the best anywhere.

Maybe you accidentally ended up in Paris, Texas!
