French "attitude" by Jen611
We didn?t run into any problems as far as people being rude to us, or taking advantage of us as American tourists. We suspect this is largely because we didn?t act like many of the rude, demanding tourists we saw, and instead were always polite, and made an attempt at speaking in French, minimal as it was. We did our research before our trip, and became knowledgeable of not only some key French phrases, but also of various cultural customs and etiquette when it comes to dining and greeting people.
