no more than anywhere else
-
I'm an American who has been to France several times and have loved each visit. Sure, a few French people are rude but most are not.....just like in every other country! Ever been to New York City???
The French culture is rich in history, cuisine, traditions, etc., and they are justifably proud of that. If you show respect and appreciation for those qualities, and spend some time to learn about their culture, you will be treated very well 95% of the time.
As far as the other 5%, well, there are jerks everywhere and it's best just to take it with a grain of salt. Don't think about the two people who were rude to you today, remember that 30 treated you just fine!
As another posted her has stated, "the biggest calamity is Ignorance". I totally agree with this.
Before you go to France, spend a little time to learn about the nation and its people....and if you only learn a few words of French, learn the "polite" words [like Bonjour, s'il vous plait, merci, au revoir, etc.] and when to use them
Have a great trip. We will be there in September and are looking forward to it!
