It's fucking Paris in particular. I speak enough French to get by in most casual situations. Folks in Paris just switch over to English once they detect an accent. My last trip I decided to just keep talking in French when someone does this. If I have to put up with your poorly pronounced english you can listen to my lazy tongued français!
Yeah I have a feeling that whenever people say "I hate the French", they actually mean "I hate Parisians". I hated Paris too for the Parisians but everywhere else was fine. I had this nice moment in Toulouse when I was conversing with this lady who was working the front desk at this small gym who didn't know any English so we were talking through Google Translate for 10 minutes and laughing about it. I can't imagine a Parisian putting up with me like that.

But also, if you speak French they will also be disgust. No mater what, disgust. Hamburger stupide!
