Parisians can be quite rude to English speakers; don't take it too hard. As they say - France is for French.

So I've heard. No big deal as we lived in Greece for a few years. The Greeks can seem offensively rude/brusk until you learn to accept it as part of their culture. The problem is it takes time to get used to it but as I expect it in Paris, I can handle it. I've visited quite a few European countries as well as Asia, but never made it to France, ooh la la.
BTW, I also lived in NH for a few years. Really enjoyed it there, beautiful state.

I would say Trebejo needs a guide to the culture that is uniquely American, or needs to pull his swollen head out of his proverbial arse. ;-) Perhaps start in New Orleans, then move up the Big Muddy to Memphis. From there the tour could go either on up to St. Louis and Kansas City, or turn east through Nashville and on to Atlanta. Some might want to venture north to Chicago, but my take is that those guys are all southern transplants anyway.

Nothing from America was ever regarded as culturally significant. Yeah, right.

My wife, son and I spent a week in Paris about 6 years ago (the year Floyd Landis temporarily won the Tour d'France). We were a little apprehensive given that oft-repeated warning. We found it to be "urban legend". My wife encountered one rude salesclerk at a small dress shop. Otherwise, all of the Frenchmen and women we interacted with were not at all condescending or impatient w our English or our somewhat crude attempts at French. One night I got almost completely thru ordering my dinner in French and finished w "por favor". My family near split a gut laughing, but the waiter didn't even blink. We are all very anxious to go back. Paris is a little more difficult than London for Americans but its well worth the effort. Just be aware that it can be VERY HOT in mid-summer and A/C is not nearly universal, but I'd go back in heartbeat.

Swampwalker, that's about what I expect to be the case. As a general rule, I believe people will treat you with the respect they feel they are given. At least that's been my experience.
My wife is texting me in French to which I respond in kind. Although I had to use the translator for the last one. Her last text translated as "I gild you." :)
