thanks for the post. what a stupid analysis by the french! having been to all these locations, charles de gaul (or orly for that matter) are no better or worse than those of other big cities such as madrid, rome, beijing, london, los angeles or new york. i call it, "the big city" syndrom. of course, telling the prime minister that the french are not being visited because of their foreign policy of supporting terrorist states would probably make the poor man unemployed.

i understand the rudeness stereotype may have some basis in fact, but the whole thing about the french not speaking foreign languages - well if a frenchman went to london or new york or sydney then im guessing all the waiters wouldnt be all bonjour silvouplait.

it is a bonus in places like italy where they all speak english, but i really cant fault the french for not wanting to do what we dont do either.
