Do you believe French people are rude? Many Americans think French people are rude but everyone was very nice to me when I visited.
- Country or region Spain
I think it's just a stupid stereotype. I've been many times to France and they've always treated me really politely. But in Spain we also think they're posh/preppy and rude and I really don't understand where this though comes from.

There are always people who are rude, wether it is in France or in the US or in any other country, it doesn't only applies to France x)
Every country thinks he is better than the other in general. In France, there is the stereotype of the fat american. In another country, it would be the stereotype of the rude french who only love his baguette and his bottle of wine x)

I think it's because in France we often speak our mind as it is, so it can seem a bit rude sometimes ^^ people are usually nice tho, just take time to try to speak with them and you'll see ! :D

it's just the differences in certain ethics. For exemple we french people don't like it when people are loud because we prefer to live quitly.
it has also something to do with the fact that we are living more freely.
But french people are nice in general you just need to be patient

I think it comes because of many tourist visit Paris. And in Paris people are really busy, stressed and they dont look open. But it's false beacause when you speak to them they are really kind. Of course it depends. Also some french don't speak really well english so they might look embarrassed to speak with foreigners who doesn't speak French
