    Were you expecting everyone to be rude? Also, did you travel beyond Paris? Also also, did you know how to move in a major city?

      In the USA, the French have a reputation for rudeness. I didn’t really expect that to be universally true, but I was surprised by how actively friendly many people were. I spent time in Paris, Nice, Avignon, Pau, and brief stops in a few other places. The only rude person was the guy selling food on the TGV.

      I’m not sure what you mean by knowing how to move in a major city. While in Paris, I walked or rode the metro. In Provence and thereabouts, it was train or bicycle.
