My Dad's impression of the French, which he formed as the result of an extended vacation during the mid-1940's was that they were like people all over the world: the urbanites [Parisians] were hostile, rude and superior, and the people in the countryside were as warm, welcoming, and happy as any he'd ever met anywhere.

They probably feel the same way about Parisians in France as we do in the US. Elsewhere, they still remember us warmly.

I was in Paris about ten years ago, in August. The manager of our hotel told us that it was his favorite time of year because all the Parisians were on vacation. Great city to walk around. Better than London, but not as good as Rome.
