Summary: Parisian rudeness greatly exagerated

I have been in Paris twice this year, once for a few days on vacation, and
once for two weeks to attend an ISO meeting.  Even though I have forgotten
the French I learn at school I enjoyed both visits.  I suspect that much of
the rudeness attributed to the French is legend, and most of the rest is
caused by people who are not conscious enough about their own inadequacy
when they expect someone else to speak English because they do not speak
French.
