I noticed in the VFW Mag. the French consultants are offering a certificate of thanks to American WWII vets who served in France or its territories during 1944-45.
Kinda late in the game for that I would think. Don't imagine they will be flooded with applicants. I wonder what they are offering the German vets.

at a French-language travel site, EdH. I suspect the result would be quite a bit different. Incidentally, when we visited Europe on one of those whirlwind bus trips (from Greece to London in 3? weeks), we found the rudest people in Belgium.

there is such a thing as rude nationalities. I think there are rude people in every country and that the percentage is more or less the same all over the world. And as far as boring goes, I wonder what a boring person is? What's boring to me may be funny to others.

and they are loud and walk around in big groups taking up the whole sidewalk and refuse to move. I've seen many Americans like that in Prague for example (I tend to travel on my own and not in group in order to experience the real deal and not the tourist deal). Absolutely unbearable people! Same goes for Germans and Dutcyh people in Spain. BUT, once you meet them when they are at home, they are very nice people. Germans, French, Dutch, Americans... You name it! Never judge a nationality before you have really traveled around in THEIR country meeting them as a globetrotter not as a group traveler.

Which may explain a few things in itself.
One presumes the French would be more polite to people who speak their language. But should that be the standard?

should speak the local language or suffer rudeness?
Tell THAT to the illegal immigrants!

No need to. You and your buddies have already done that many times Ed...

I doubt many Spaniards would say that they like the Brits... They are noisy, think they know much better than the Spaniards and take up the entire sidewalk! OTOH, when you meet them in Britain, it's an amazingly nice people just like other nationalities. As I have said before, there are a-holes in the USA and there are a-holes in Israel, in Britain, in Cambodia and in Finland. But I am sure heck of a lot more of them are nice.
