Years ago my dentist was from France.At that time I had never been but my parents had...and they hated it. I told my dentist about their hatred and he asked "did they travel outside of Paris?" and I said "no,they just stayed in Paris".

"Aha!",he said..."there's the problem. Even we Frenchmen hate Parisians"

Yep. I have heard the same thing from my French friends - all of whom live and work far from Paris.

I went to France three times while deployed with the Marines. We had a great time every time. We acted polite, humble and only wanted to go where the beer was cheap. We got drunk with French Foreign Legionaries, French paratroopers, French sailors, blue collar guys and had the time of our lives. Traded cigarette lighters, told sea stories and bought each other beer and cheap wine. Oh yeah, those guys didn’t like the French elite either.
