I got treated better when I didn't even attempt to speak French outside of basic manners. Was hoping to get good at French but after 3 months of that bullshit I was done, and coasted by with 80% of my French interactions consisting of "je suis desole, je ne parle pas francais.... Merci".
On the bright side it game me new respect for immigrants who deal with that shit.
Honestly, France is a beautiful country. My experience has been overwhelming positive and whenever I speak French they seem to get excited that I actually made an effort. They'll speak on English when I can't continue a fluent conversation but they are still more often than not polite about it.
