I think it's also worth mentioning...Hey there! I think it's also worth mentioning that the rest of France has always been accommodating to tourists. I've always thought of Paris as the New York of Europe, and just like New Yorkers, the Parisians have gotten a bit of a stereotype for being a bit rude. I'm sure that part of that has to due with living in a metropolitan area that is filled with people on vacation when you are on your way to work! I can definitely see how that could get old or annoying to the locals! Anyway, my point in this comment that I'm leaving is that it's not a 'french' thing, it's a parisian thing, and as you pointed out, it seems to be a thing of the past. I also think people in New York seem much more friendly than maybe they seemed in the 80s and early 90s. Maybe it's more than just tourism. Maybe it has to do with the world growing smaller. I think it's an interesting topic. It would be interesting for me to see what others have to say.Roxi Bohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736536711195695365noreply@blogger.com
