Judging the French based on Parisians is like judging Americans based on New Yorkers.
That is for sure. The Parisians hate everybody including their fellow French. I was in the south of France and they were all very courteous and friendly. They hated the Parisians as well.
I was in Paris once and couldn’t find a rude Frog to save my life. It wasn’t Disney (what do they give those people?) but, at the very least, it was better than NYC or Atlanta.
My sister DID manage to find the worst Greek restaurant in Paris, though...
Thank you for pointing this out. The French do *not* hate Americans.
