Do you mean they aren't physically beautiful?

I'm parisian, and unfortunaly, I have to concede you're right!  We are rude ! it's our way of life !
I cannot say it never happens but it's very rare I think. Actually, the french people appreciate the people who tries to speak their language.
You know me now !  it means you know two french people !
And I'm sure she was drinking a lot ? right ? (the "bretons" are well know to be alcohol addict in France ! of course it's a joke)
Different cities, and different sizes . The problem of the french capital is the number of tourists. Some people don't like tourist, some french don't like tourist too, and all of these french live in Paris !
You're right to say the parisian are not very friendly, I cannot say the opposite, nethertheless, if you are a foreigner, if you want to understand the french culture (which is not dead ! ! ) to see what France is capable to do, the best is actually in Paris, and I don't think any city in Europe cannot really compete with Paris about museums, history, arts , culture, etc, even not London, but here, it's just my opinion. I'm sure we could find an english guy who'd say I'm wrong.... (find an english to say to a french he's wrong is always possible!  )

 , Actually she didn't drink she was actually from Lyons but she lived in Rennes. But i guess lol...
No the Biggest cities tend to have the rudest people, I would not say much about the attitude of New Yorkers... I wish you city was full of people like you, you don't seem very mean at all  .

No Internat. They are just not so nice to each other and everyone else, generally speaking, that is.

Cheers, perhaps it's better in other parts of France. My cousin studied in Grenoble as an exchange student and she had a wonderful experience. Capital cities tend to be more anonymous. Londoners can be quite rude and even aggressive. I'm a calm and polite person yet I almost got into a fight several times in London. I only got away because I had other big guys on my side backing me up. A little snotty is alright compared to that. In my experience Americans are generally speaking friendlier than Europeans regardless of region.

OK I guess what I mean is that Parisians can be downright more than rude - flipping you off - so to speak when you ask them something. But, yes, that is only in Paris (and, of course, not all Parisians); the rest of France is different. Sorry, wasn't comparing to Americans; some European countries are a little more formal or reserved, but not so much anymore. They used to be more so, and only a few countries.

Parisians are some of the best looking people in the world! They are all tall, have dark features, and they don't weigh an ounce!
I guess all the smoking helps!

I highly doubt you are describing most Parisians. Besides, good looks are subjective for the most part.

Nope, I'm describing most Parisians. I did not see one overweight Parisian the whole time I was there. Seriously. HOT!
