Do a lot of French people hate Americans?
Too long didn't read.
Americans from the United States have a bad reputation for being obnoxious visitors to other countries - hence the expression "Ugly Americans."
The best anyone can do is to present themselves positively. Stereotypes exist against everyone.
A woman I know who traveled there said they were snobbish and dismissive if French wasn't spoken or was used incorrectly. She said Americans were much more friendly when she spoke "broken" English. I plan to one day visit France and see for myself. I bet there is less trouble with the young generation.

Posted by Sn1p3r187Uhm, yeah.
Usually said that starting wars in poor countries was a favorite past time for America only so they can reap the benefits of a military-industrial complex.
Posted by Sn1p3r187This reminds me of dating topics like "he ran away, is it because he felt for me too strongly"? lmao.
Or secretly likes us but they won't admit it?
European snobbery aside, there isn't hate or admiration tbh.
Posted by tizianiFrench also suck with any kind of language in general.
It's just a different mentality. It's hard to explain. France is about hedonism. America needs a justification to live that way. France does not. It's also a massive waste of an economy in everyone else's eyes, but France does not see it that way.
There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance
French people really dislike English as a language. It's like it offends their musical ear. It's bs because they totally understand what you're saying.
I remember first day at the hotel with my friends. The guy at the reception was in a general state of displeasure, like we'd startle him with every word.
The next day we decided to talk French, and his face lit up. Was all milk and honey for the duration of our holiday.
Meanwhile in Rome I could not make myself understood in English at all. Relied on a mix of Italian/Spanish but mainly it was me gesticulating wildly.

Posted by Libra82The personal space is very obvious with Americans. Almost palpable.
Americans are very friendly but the difference from my perspective is that it's more superficial.

In France? Yes. Outside of France, it's like meeting a whole new person.
French person in isolation = not so try-hard.

They don't disrespect Americans but hey we can't deny a few more things happened on French soil in history to justify their bias; and this transpire when they speak English, no matter how well they've studied it, a part of them is latently reluctant in adapating to a proper accent. They want you to know they're French.
Furthermore it's not like Americans put that much effort themselves in learning a refined language like French, which in the end makes it fair.
I found them to be awesome, zero problems, headed back to Paris in the fall again. I found everywhere I've been in Europe has been filled with kind generous ppl, happy to show off their amazing countries.

Posted by leowwwAh Eastern Europe...
If we're gonna be real here most Europeans feel that way towards Americans... Canadians in general. I know that when we'd go back to Portugal for the summer as kids... Um people in general would give us the side eye. Same thing happened later in life when I'd travel in eastern Europe... I would speak English and would be treated a certain way but my ex at the time who was part Romanian / Serb had an English accent and he was basically treated like a long lost cousin..... It's whatever. I wouldn't pin it on French people per say.
I crack up whenever I hear posh English on the street here. It contrasts so much with the environment.

I would never live in Venice, I don't like how it's connected to the rest of the hinterland. I personally like having options, i like that I can just take my car and drive somewhere nice around. Easier from Treviso.
On top of that Treviso is tidier, cleaner and most importantly cheaper in every regards. I also read that it ranks top 10 in Italy in terms of tenor of life, while Venezia is around 60th.
Actually I just aked some friends - with whom I go on the road to follow Fiba events lol - who have lived in Padova for 5-7 years respectively and they say both (Treviso and Padova) are nice place in which to live. The first is people-oriented - 80k dwellers - you can move around with a bike and any neighborhood around the city centre is ordered - you can't really go wrong when you're picking an apartment there -
Second is more vibrant, bigger (250k), young, with more things to do and places to go out at night but there are also some neighborhoods it's better for you to avoid: an extensive research on the spot might be required to find your place.
It really depends what you're looking for and if your solution is just temporary or not. Considering you're coming from London they would both go for Padova. People are more open-minded in general, there's many international students given the importance of their University and the city is more dynamic per se. Basically a different atmosphere.
Venezia? idk... not many people actually live there, I hear the majority is in the Mestre's area.
Btw... my advice is to have, before you pick, a bird's eye view of the market here, usually 6-8 months are needed to have a clearer picture. What you see on pics - having changed 9 houses in Rome - it's rarely what you get. Personally, I'm always very strict in buying/renting a place that it's worth the price, I just can't stand people trying to rob me thinking I'm some sort of naïve buyer just because I'm fairly young.
I'd say it's crucial to do that here but it requires obviously a lot of effort too, so schedule as many appointments as you can just to know what you're dealing with, margin for a rip-off is high. See as many places as you can and ask questions because sellers here never say the whole truth about the cadastral situation. A place that looks like a proper apartment may turn out being an office instead... it happens frequently when they notice you're not from here. I remember one in particular I liked was listed simultaneously as an office (A10), apartament (A2/A3) and garage (C6). Are you kidding me? And they were trying to hide it... lol
It might be easier for you to go there and take a whole month - September/October maybe? - to concentrate your research and then decide. It's hard already to probe the market from here I just can't imagine you doing it from London.
Ha! Negotiate the price like if you were in some sort of sūq of Marrakech... 😄

And even being ripped off there, worst case scenario, is still ten times cheaper than anything going here in London. I look at prices over there and it's unreal how low it is for what you get.
That's for sure, for the equivalent of a basement there, you can probably rent a castle here. Not to mention what you could do in Romania with the same amount of money lol
It's also much easier than I made it sound, I'm just a perfectionist who's rarely satisfied.

I don't think I could live in venice either, the whole town is made of old decrepit buildings it must be depressing.
Some parts of italy looks really great, fantastic. I think it must be the greatest country to live the dolce vita of an eternal tourist a la george clooney/tiziani, but maybe not to live long term, idk.
My ex wife went to live in verona, it looks nice but I don't know if I could live there forever. I need a bit of chaos sometimes.

French resident here 🙂
I think they have an aversion for tourists in general, which is ironic because tourism is one of France's principal income.
I remember my friend scolding me! 'Swans, why did you reply to that guy in English ?!!!' she was pissed with the American tourists that never learnt a single word of French, and assume that English could be used anywhere, without saying a 'Bonjour, est-ce que pourriez m'aider s'il vous plait' first.
Also culturally they are very different I think.
French people are 'intellectual' (intellectual DOES NOT mean intelligent) and I feel like Americans are different.
(My parents are Japanese, and I think Japanese people aren't intellectual either, although their culture is as old) I think it's very 'European'.
But I went to a French High School in Japan, and the French students were rude themselves. In the subway, public ares, etc. They were loud, always causing a ruckus, hehe. People got cranky, I remember :3
And French people are terrible with foreign language, haha. (But they aren't aware of it)

Posted by Infinite8Compliments and insults are personal.
It's meant to be a compliment, but I can't help but take it as an under-handed insult
In this case, you get complimented for how that person perceives you. You see it as an insult because you take it upon yourself to defend culture or stereotypes.
I will make a note of someone who stands out always.
I haven't run into any American that acted like the world shouldn't bow to them or had any genuine interest in getting involved into another country. Loud and disrespectful at all times.
But obviously that's just my experience and I'm a speck of dust so I completely get how other people's experience is different. Because of that there is no bias I have with Americans but my experience is what it is.
As far as how people behave...just spend time chatting with a museum guide. They see all cultures in huge numbers, provided they don't turn jaded.
It's sad because at some point stereotypes just start playing in your mind like movies. I try and catch myself.
Like the one time I was in the Sistine Chapel and I saw someone throw a cheesburger wrapper on the floor. I looked to the museum guide and they were looking at this scene like it was totally normal. That person started talking loudly and my mind was "Oh American, figures". And then I caught myself because he was just...a douchebag. But I don't know how many people actually make an effort to catch themselves and keep perspective.
I might get snarky with Americans but it's really on an individual human level at the end of the day. I only take into account who s/he is as a person. I don't do that nice politeness only to throw shade at them with others.
