Your photos are really making me jealous. I've never been to Paris, but I have heard so many horror stories about the people there that I've nearly forgotten all the beauty there.

It really is a city of monuments more than any other I've seen.

People don't seem terribly rude so far in face to face interactions. But there's a lot more physical contact on crowded streets. You get bumped into more often than on crowded streets in other cities.

I'd love to go to France someday and just tour the country. I've heard horror stories, but I've also heard that they're mostly stereotypes. Yes, there are pickpockets in the metros, but I've heard people aren't snobby like widely believed.

I think things get exaggerated. I don't have much first hand knowledge but some of my colleagues (from the US and UK) who've lived here for years don't seem to see it as a major issue.

And with the bumping thing, I think that's just a cultural difference. My French teacher told me one thing that took her by surprise was how "close" they were. Like when standing and having a conversation, French people tend to stand closer, making people who aren't used to it feel uncomfortable. That kind of relates to the kissing thing to great each other, too.

I think all I got to eat flying to the UK was a small sandwich, some chips, and water every 30 minutes. :oops:

Sounds like a prison transport!

My sister went over the summer for her 20th wedding anniversary. She had nothing but positive things to say. I agree it's robsbly exaggerated - and I think it also depends on what you're used to. I'm sure people that visit NY or DC will say it's dirty and people are rude and bump into you.
