BTW, you only see the contemptuous french behavior close to Paris, because for some fucking reason every single American visiting France only goes to Paris. Since all the American karens are concentrated in Paris, the people in the suburbs are much nicer.
Having been to Paris myself not too long ago, their rudeness is far overhyped. They were actually quite pleasant to us for the most part, only a handful of interactions that I would consider rude, mostly from street scammers. Maybe I just got lucky or missed some social cues, but I’m not sure where this idea of the openly contemptuous average Parisian comes from.
