She even bought a French hat. That’s not enough?
I guess they don’t have “Appuyez sur deux pour l’anglais,” on French phone trees.
We’ve visited Nice quite a lot, as a friend has a condo there and likes having us visit, in part because I’m handy and fix and improve stuff.
Nice has been catering to English speaking tourists for well over 200 years. You can get by with a little phrase book French, and a few mercies and si vous plais go a long way. And a lot of folks do speak English, and very few are French snobs towards Americans.
All in all, I quite like Nice.
I also visited Strasboug, Colmar, and the Alsace in general several years ago. Again, saw little in the way of snobbery, and met some who still thank Americans for clearing out the Germans in WWII, they knew their history well enough to understand that, from their parents and grandparent.
Now, this girl *does* strike me as quite a whiner. Probably didn’t even have a phrase book.
