My experience is that the people in Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseille *are* mostly rude. The rest? People are kind and helpful. In the major cities they expect foreigners to be fluent in French, and if you only string two French words together, they refuse to speak anything else than French. The rest of the country will try everything to understand each other. (The younger generation does speak at least reasonable English, but the older generation hardly had English in school. But they're trying)

Check out way below for my facts correcting US stereotypes that the neo-Soviets of BP tried to censor, but another false US stereotype: we actually have way fewer police. Not only are there fewer per capita (242 vs 349), but per capita isn't even a fair measure since low-density areas require far more police per capita. Oh yeah, and cops are WAY more likely to kill white people than black people. Yes, they kill more black people per capita, but way fewer per law-enforcement incident.
