Why consider all french the same?

• Hi I'm french and live near Nice, on the French Riviera. You'll find every kind of people, sweet and rude mixed together, like everywhere else. France is very wide and every region has its originality and specifity wether it's by their language, cuisine, geography... Here in Nice, you'll find a lot of people speaking english as it is very touristic and unfortunately some rude people. Guess what? Those rude people are not from Nice most of the time. They are tourists, or workers from other regions coming south as there is a lot of work in summer. It is a pity that the lady above staid in Cannes and suffered from so many incidents. A lot of waiters here, especially during summer time and festivals are, sorry for the cliché, very rude, even with us French. If you take my advice, please visit France not staying in big towns, especially Paris and the French Riviera. Enjoy a day or 2 in those towns, then travel around France to taste the true and real face of France. You are so welcome! It is so great to meet people from other countries or other continents. So many good memories with you guys! See you soon!
