Just remember Mike, the French hate everyone... including themselves.

Have fun on your future trip. For the record, I did 9 years in Germany and travelled all over Europe off and on. I never went to France except once, and that during a liaison visit. Had lunch at a French army barracks. Wurst, broth soup and mediocre bread. That was it. The French soldiers in the mess looked like convicts and stared at us like we were from another world...
