Raptus Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Globally, Parisians are considered to be rude, unpleasant (and smelly ) people. Most tourist have stories of negative encounters with them. So I was wondering if French people that don't live in Paris also hate Parisians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playboi Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 yes they're considered self-centered and snobbish they leave Paris in the summer for the beach cities on the western or southern coasts and terrorize the locals there 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you should as tourists are literally bringing money from their country to yours. Plus it doesn’t hurt to be a decent human being. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are some rude people but lately there are been a surge mostly from American tourists coming for us when their arguments are just cliches and showing entitlement. The world doesn’t revolve around foreigners. Stop glamorizing Paris in general. While they travel some go to work, have their own issue. Expecting local to be smiley is unrealistic. It’s also as if cultural differences don’t exist for tourists it makes sound like rudeness but this is how people live in daily basis. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Yorkers have the same reputation I think. I'm a very polite person but when I'm in Paris I can't be that polite and nice with all the bad-mannered tourists walking slow as hell, clogging the sidewalks and stopping us locals from getting where we need to get on time. And the smelly thing is just dumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexrex Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I live in France, and yes many of them seem to have an issue with Parisian people. They find them to be snubs and somehow rude. Complaining is a national sport in France 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BletaRexher Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I feel like they do. New Yorkers always come to the hotel I work at (the only fancy one in my Midwest city). They always complain about how the restaurants are never as good as in NYC. It’s because they only eat at the fancy ones that suck because they’re too good for amazing diner/international foods. I always recommend an amazing Mexican restaurant and half them get offended by it. Plus their voices are annoying af, you can tell they force those accents hard.
