I saw this and recalled it was not the everyday Parisians who were rude. Years ago, on the Isle de Cite, a lovely gentleman sought me out because I was obviously American. He wanted to speak in English, talk about how grateful he was for the Americans for the liberation and just spend some time talking. I wished I had spent more time with him.
The rude people I encountered in Paris were the government institution employees. These are exactly the people who are paid to treat the tourists with courtesy and helpfulness, yet treat them the worst.
Does this sound familiar. They acted much as government employees do here. m/r
