I went to Paris once years ago. It was the worst experience. It was a really awful place and the racism very open. I only stayed 2 days and left never to return.
@@muradmerali434 Please to not generalise, you have this kind of racist people all around the world. I met very nice French people as well and I am not white. Stupid people are everywhere in the world. Just take it as a bad experience with this person not all French people. I am not French but experienced racism in many countries while I have met good and nice people in France as well. I travelled a lot and can say that some politicians and journalists in some countries of the world are spreading racisms which is a big shame.
@@keenonyoga Asia? Asia is a continent very large one. I was in China ( will not name the place ) with my family including my parents ( one of my parents is black- I am bi-racial) and it was awful. Hence I would not generalise. Some people all around the world can be stupid, I quite often try not to generalise this type of behaviour. I have a very bad experience in China and a good one in Japan and Singapore for example. But China was really bad experience, I still like China regardless of what we experienced there.
I will never go back toFrance again . We were on a road trip stopping at various locations around France . My baby was then 6 month old . Every where I went to book accommodation,I was told that they were no rooms or not available. My husband who is white went back to the same places with in minutes and MAGIC they were rooms available
Relatable😅😅 I'm French and i have had so many bad experiences with the train (SNCF) workers. I feel like being rude is a prerogative to be hired to this company. They really HATE when we ask them questions for directions or anything. Like, if they're that snappy why work in that type of industry??? It's crazy😂 I now do not hesitate to snap back or write a complain.
Mourad , I’m french and I’m going to apologize for this stupid man . He had no right to treat you like this , you’re a tourist , we need tourists so we have to be nice to them . But you always have this kind of person with a little piece of power in their job who are disrespectful to customers to show how important they are . I hope your experience will be better in Paris I saw at TV news yesterday that tourists a feel safe in town . There are many cops , military guys , enjoy your trip to Paris .
Considering that France has been dealing with terrorist attacks since the Olympics started, give people a break. You don’t know what they’re dealing with!
I feel you,I went years ago and people were so mean to me but more so than others I was with so I asked in the hotel what's the problem,I was told I was told it's because I'm blonde and wear bright colours and Paris is more sofisticated than that,i was shocked,mostly because it's the nastiest,dirtiest place I've ever been,damn fools.
They refuse to speak English, I have notice this for years and heard this from others. Exactly the correct word they seem to be stuck up, do not know what or who they think they are!! You did the correct thing of responding back, I would do the same!! I am not playing, you treat me with respect and I will treat you with respect, no taking any crap from no one!!
Seems they’ve forgotten who saved their butts twice WWI & WWII…sort of same problem in America the younger Gen weren’t here during those wars & have no idea where Fascism leads the country to! Sad for older people like myself who remember the horrors!!
Very strange kinda zenophobic people, They dance to English music/songs but many wouldn't speak it especially even when someone needs their help.English speaking people who goes to France are asking for it,because they are mingling with numpties who seem to be envious of the dominance of English
It depends how old they are. Older people and people who are 40 years old or more don't speak English or just few words. Younger people know more English (not all, it depends if they studied it consciously). But the best thing to do is asking younger people something in English. You have more chance to have a reply in English. Oh and Paris does not represent the whole French. In other cities, French are much nicer. Parisians are special 😂.
Murad, it’s insanely racist. Went there 6 years ago and they were so rude to Asian customers. These customers waited for their meal while ppl got served meals that came in after them. Their order was stuffed up then their change was given them back all in coins and not notes. Quite frankly we were appalled and embarrassed for the restaurant owner and staff. The world has moved on and these poor customers sensed they were being mistreated so got up and left without eating the meal they waited ages for. France was the least favourite place and not what ppl crank it up to be. The thieving is ridiculous.
yes, re robbery and stealing, it's a national sport, no shame. I live here. My Christmas wreath was stolen off my door and my window boxes were stolen too, and that was in a nice neighborhood. That shattered me.
Murad we all asian people are friendly n courteous esp if u come to Singapore,Malaysia, Indonesia,Thailand, Philippines, Brunei, Sabah,Sarawak n other asian countries.
Very chill people in Asia. Amazing how such a large land mass and collection of cultures seems to share similar characteristics of non-confrontation and harmony. I hope the rest of the world can learn from their example.
After the way they treated our 🇯🇲 Queen 👸🏾 of track and field Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 🐐 yesterday, not letting her through the gate to warm up for the 100m, causing her to withdraw from the race 😤 I’m not surprised 😒
Apparently sha carri Richarson and Shelly Ann had to walk about an hour to get to the warm up. They missed the warm-up , that's why Shelly-Ann pulled out. Good for her, if that is what took place. Dem people ya out order 💁
Don't let them take your energy, considering the Olympics are on , you would think public servants would be proudly showing off their country.❤❤much love

I travel a lot, but never been to France, don’t particularly want to, their rudeness is legendary. I always give back what I get, if it’s good, I tip generously, but if it’s bad, they just get a piece of my mind! I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting me.
France is one of those countries where you'd better speak the language. They have no right to make such a demand, since they are a 2nd tier country dependent on American military aid, but their geo-location makes this a de-facto privilege of theirs.
i am just wondering why you guys think France stops in Paris. Even some of us from other parts of France we would rather go to prison than deal with Parisian. it is something about the energy in the capital that turns my blood into vinegar. You guys need to visit other regions . we get it most of the money from the nation is in Paris but its nicer elswhere.
@@PHlophe France has too many tourists and it's not geared to just serve people like vending machines. There is an expectation that the visitor will put some effort into being French in some sense, like Hemingway (It's not 1923 anymore, BTW). Modern tourists have only a week and expect more of a Vegas experience, where, for example, the Chinese food is better than it is in China and the putonghua is on point.
The French have had the reputation of rudeness, extremely so, for a long long time. I'm sorry you had to experience it. I agree, there is no place for rudeness, and especially in the kind of situation that you are/were in. They're being paid to do that jub which includes customer service..... not stand there and talk/text with your friends.
I loved visiting London. People are very friendly and polite. I felt like a lady. For example, in "Choccywoccydoodah", the employees, realizing that it was my birthday, invited everyone present to sing happy birthday to me! Super lovely people. I definitely have to go back.
I’m over Paris and really it’s France for me. I saw how they treated Kelly Rowland and other people of color. There’s a few countries I want to go to in Europe, and France ain’t one. Hope the rest of your trip goes better.
There’s good and bad in France, it helps if you speak in French to them. A certain snooty type are a real wind up, I hear Parisians are cold even to other French. last year I went northwest to Anjou region and was pleasantly surprised with courteous people, lovely food and wine, a big castle in Angers, and chocolate shops. I suddenly got France, for the first time in 60 years
That's why I don't go there anymore. The rudeness is off the chain. But well done for standing up to it. I wish I could have seen his face when you did so.
I thought it was just me, they were so rude at the enquiry window at the station, refused to tell me which station to go to for my train & then laughed as I walked off
Murad: I lived in Geneva for 5years and interacted with the French, and yes they are rude and full of themselves sometimes. They believe they are superior to others. I get it
On my mom's last overseas trip, she said the French people were really rude and the Italian people were the best. She said the French people just about ruined their trip. Sad.
I've dealt with a lot of French, Dutch and German people in my life.The most down to earth people out of all of them to me are Germans. When they are in Rome they do as the Romans but the other 2 are stuck up.I've never had a rude experience with Germans but the French and Dutch can be very full of themselves and rude
They have lost their way if anything the opening ceremony is anything to go by but there is no excuse for being rude just come to Australia we welcome everyone but sorry for your experience hopefully not all French are like that
Furthermore 20 years ago I was held up in a supermarket for being a brown person with a debit card. It was embarrassing they wanted to call my bank in the UK, in front of my 5 year old son, holding up the whole supermarket queue. They sent security guard out to car park to get the registration plate of my local French friend’s car. The guard was Spanish & spoke to my mate in French & apologised & said they weren’t used to ppl of colour having debit cards……..what an Effin cheek. I had convo with a beautiful Asian girl who informed me they’re worse towards Africans than Asians but that was 20 years ago & I know things have gotten worse since then.
They are very rude i had a big off with a very rude Liberace looking man at a restaurant in Morocco, he thought it was okay to loudly mock my laugh and my voice. I went up to his table after being seated and tore him one, he was so shocked. Then my husband did the same when he got to the restaaurant.. Ruins your day when you get that kind of ignorance.
Yep agreed, I experienced that, the last time I visited Paris; it's almost like, if you can't speak their language properly, they show you the hand, really, super rude attitude. I think it's on purpose because they perhaps do not want you visiting again, don't like your colour of skin and the fact that they are serving you, or, something along those lines. Keep it real M, you are not the only one and sadly, you will not be the last, I mean look at the dam Olympics coverage, mocking the Christian faith. Disgraceful and disgusting!
Nope 👎. I am close to retirement and will be traveling, but “Forget Paris,” end not France. In the 1980s, my European history professor said she won’t speak English or speak French when she’s in Paris, but only speaks Spanish! Her area a specialty is pre-revolutionary France 🇫🇷! She speaks French! She knows the language! But French ppl are so awful, she speaks Spanish when she travels to that country! She said this in class in the 1980s. Then in the 1990s, my sister and some friends from college traveled to Paris. By the time of the trip, all three were working in their professions and had more degree attainment past uni degrees. She said French ppl were rude, nasty and Paris itself was dirty and disappointing. I won’t be spending any of MY finds as a traveler in Paris or the rest of the country either. They treat tourists and travelers despicably for many decades.
@@kittykatz4001 Jealous of the beauty of France - Sir Laurence Olivier wrote in his memoirs that he couldn't make up his mind as to which was his favourite city, Paris or St-Petersburg (Russia) A great man who spoke French and was broad minded
Murad, it is known some French people can be rude and abrupt however, its not only the French it happens with most nationalities. I holidayed in Provence last summer and all the French I encountered were polite. I’m going to Paris soon so I’m worried now. Hope your okay it’s horrible when you experience rudeness and or racial prejudice 😢
Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport train. "First" Class. I was smartly dressed in velvet jacket and white trousers and was wheeling my quite heavy Zero H suitcase onto the train. I'm old not doddery, but was rushing onto the train and tripped and fell over. The "porter" just stood watching me struggle to get up and get my suitcase onto the train before it started off; not even _faux_ attempting to help or asking me if l was okay. My pride was hurt more than my bones but l was really shocked at his cold stoical behaviour on what was supposed to be "First" class but for many reasons was worse than economy. No coffee service as promised etc etc I purchased the ticket as it gave me free lounge access at the Airport, but the lounge was closed. Just one of those days? No, l think we are just as bad as the French. Possibly worse. Esp since BR train staff are well known to give wrong platform advice _for a "laugh"_ so you end up in Stoke when you should be in Scarborough. For entertainment / educational purposes only!
Murad, don't take this too personally. Am half French and lived here for many years and still have difficulty with an often rude brusque lack of manners which shocks many anglophones. Places like Paris and Nice worse. Of course know some lovely French people, but they are often perceived as arrogant, and yes, racist. If it happens again, step your tone and ask to see the supervisor! Enjoy the beauty, food and culture
I work for a French company in the US - NYC. They are the rudest people ever!!! I always help tourists from all walks of life directions. It’s not that difficult. Sorry for you! 🤗🥰
@@muradmerali434That's rude ! I travel in some foreign countries and always learn some of the basic sentences plus read about their custom beforehand. And lot of french understand English even if they don't speak it well, then better be careful if you speak loud of them. And an employee isn't our employee, then clients have to respect them first. And there are laws to protect them from their employer too. But if an employee during his duty don't have a correct attitude, especially if they are in uniform, are state officer or sncf employees, their attitude should be reported to their employer.
@@muradmerali434 What do you think ? You are a guest in France. You should try at least to greet in France. If you don't greet before talking with someone, You are Rude. That the culture here. You should stick to it.
Sometimes even if you do they’re still rude unless you challenge them. I lived there and I remember one grocery store worker who would literally go out of her way to be an ass because I wasn’t completely fluent. I’m conversational and speak enough to be understood, and in most places it was fine but there’s always one who doesn’t feel like they have any power so they’ll take it out by being as rude as possible to foreigners.
Do you think it’s to do with your culture? I’ve been to France several times as a black person and never experienced any bad vibes or disrespect. Mind you, this was over a decade plus ago and a lot has changed since then. You’re right Murad, never allow anyone to disrespect you. Try and enjoy your time there.
I am glad you clarified it was Nice, because it happened to me in Nice too, the lady at the airport went mental at me for no reason - other parts of France including Paris have all been lovely though, had good encounters everywhere else.
Had same thing happen to me in bus station in Glasgow, Scotland. exact situation, tried to find out information and was treated as if i was invisible. So i completely feel same as you felt. It annoyed me all day and i was very upset. I'm very wary of traveling now.
Agree, Glasgow sucks. Our first experience there was the same. The people there were cold, depressing and quite xenophobic. We definitely would never go back there and we tell all our friends to skip Glasglow. Edinburgh was way better. More friendly and international and much more beautiful.
sorry to hear, im a half argentinian, half algerian person born in france and its sad to hear that was your experience, i promise we are not all like that,
That’s “les frouzes” for you! In fairness not all of them are like that. I’m bilingual, so well able to handle them! I lived there but couldn’t wait to leave! Maybe holidays at a push but so many other places where people, food, scenery are nicer.
My nephew had a bad experience He & his friends had pre-booked a table at a restaurant & they wouldn’t let them in . They had to argue their refund. So racist & out of order
Mirad, why is it that OK magazine can't give Mimii and Josh a break... I can not believe that after they did the shooting with the winners of Love Island, they followed it by doing a shooting with Joey Essex. they haven't even done 2nd place winners... Ok, Magazine, have NEVER done that before for any other Love Island... They just can't give a black couple TRUE RECOGNITION.... really sad...
I also have had unpleasant experiences on Les Trains de Grand Vitesse and French trains. Years ago, an Italian train employee kindly reserved tables and compartments on the trains we took from Rome to Biarritz and back. We were politely shown to our reserved seats in Italy, but in France, they refused to let us sit in our reserved seats around a table, but let French citizens take them, even though the seat numbers were clearly written on our tickets. We didn’t argue, but on the return trip I had our family sit in our assigned seats and when the rude conductors tried to eject us, I asked to speak to their manager and pointed to the seat numbers on out tickets. Nice is not nice. Our motel was filthy. They didn’t change the towels or sheets in a 3* hotel and refused to clean the room. Also, while I was waiting for my husband with my children on a sidewalk in Nice, I was propositioned by several men. I told these creeps that I was shocked they would hit on me with my kids next to me, and they said they wanted the kids, too. Now, I avoid Nice. I go to sweet little French towns, where the people are welcoming, moral, and friendly. Not all French people are rude. It is a beautiful country, and I will continue to go there, but I will seek out family run restaurants, boulangeries,…and I will ask to speak to the proprietors when an employee is not acting professionally. In future, try not to look American. Many French people don’t like Americans. Leave your baseball cap at home and don’t wear T shirts and sweatshirts with American cities or places on them. Looking American will trigger them.
My sister and brother and their spouses went to vacation there and they said the same about the trains, and the rudeness. I have no longer desired to visit there.
The French are like that in Montreal and Quebec as well. As if they own Canada even though the country is bilingual. Sorry for your experience but it will likely happen again. 😁
That was terrible 😔!! They should expect people to ask where to go!! It is their job to assist people with their travel.. they don't want to do the job ...don't take it!!!
We were in Germany, taking the train to France we had tickets for the tvg train the( high speed train) the two French guys in uniforms just stood there and ignored us when we tried to get them to help us get to the correct train (which we ended up missing). We had to take the next train which made a stop where we had to get off and transfer trains. Once on the train we met a nice woman and her little children who made the effort to talk to us she was from Algeria and spoke fluent French very nice lady. The rest of our trip in Paris we spent our whole nine days speaking only to each other most people weren’t very friendly or helpful accept in the Louvre and that’s because they have employees who speak different languages. We are US Americans a nice young British man helped us. When in France we spoke to other foreigners from around the world, 🩵✌🏼who at least made the effort to communicate with us, the French not so much.
For us DUTCH people, it is well known that French (speaking) people are RUDE if they are being confronted with people who dont speak French. Then they panic! We DUTCH always will try to communicate with other people in their own language, but you will never experience the opposite. And especially with French people. Italians are very kind, when they notice that you are trying to communicate with them in their language 🙏 Only thing that i ask myself, if people who only speak one language are narrow minded 😉
Look if you are NOT a blue eyed and blonde white woman or man, no matter where you go you are going to experience racism . Sadly its all over the world not just paris.😏 Its all over here in USA /america ,its in Asia,italy etc No matter where you go it will happen,just ignore it and move on.😒 Dont let it ruined your day.👍🙂
Yuuup they are rude. I had a similar experience in Nice Vile station going to Cannes. Also rude Uber driver giving my sister a dirty look for getting in the front seat. We were 3 passengers, he wanted us to be squashed at the back.
Nah. You don't need to be rude and disrespectful back. The best is to get em back where it hurts....be absolutely overly nice to them. Lol. I do this all the time. It pisses them off so much.....or it'll make them feel horrible for treating you like shit. Works every time. Theres no way you lose. You win each and every time. You get good karma and they get the bad 😂🤣
Sorry you had this bad experience ! French are not all the same. You will enjoy your trip don’t worry. I’m French and we are not all rude like this man. We are rather suspicious in general after our bad experiences linked to unchosen immigration which creates a feeling of insecurity. That said, this does not excuse this person's aggressive behavior
If the Frenchman,by the carriage, didn't speak any English,how did he ever say "Do you not see ---Why do you ask me ---" YOU are just a liar ! And in case you're not aware ,slavery has been abolished in France .And why are you saying that Parisians are rude ,when you know for sure you are in Nice ?
If you are walking on Quebec streets speaking with your colleagues in English, suddenly you will feel pushed or nudged roughly, then realize you've been "shouldered". Imagine grown adults behaving this way!
We took the train from Barcelona to Perpignan and back. All the people were lovely to us even as English speaking Americans. We traveled throughout Provence for 4 days this June.
I went to Paris when I was 12 and happened to watch the last Tour de France that Lance Armstrong was competition in. Anyhow it was the grosses city, homeless pooping in the street next to public restrooms, porn hanging on signs advertising women on a whole random street in the middle of the city, everything gilded in gold but covered in trash and at the Tour de France, I actually dropped a piece of trash on the ground and went to pick it up and got HECKLED by a grown man who said to me "This isn't america you dont need to pick that up (dumbass)". also someone nicked 40$ from my pocket that had a zipper so somone unzipped my pants stole my cash and zipped my pants pocket back up without me noticing. i was 12 and didnt know any better. Anyone else do rhat Swiss Invitational Basketball Tournament in Zurich in like...2006??
Yes they are very, very, very rude, I was in Paris in 1984 for a visit and they were rude then, I will never go back again, I'm sure it must be even worse now. Never again.
Yes, they are. Just came back from Nice a few days ago and let me tell you they are renk their customer service is terrible but I did meet a few nice ones. I also had my translator on, on my phone, I was ready for them 😂
I thought it was just against us Americans, but I guess not. They really are the worst. I haven't been to Paris, but just to two ports in France- Nice and Honfleur. A million years ago, I had taken 7 years of French, and did well enough in it in high school, I passed out of four levels of college French. All I ever wanted to do was order a croissant in a French bakery in French, and I tried to in Honfleur. They acted like they could not understand me at all. I know what I said was grammatically correct, and my accent was not terrible. They were just a-holes. Fast forward 15 years, and we stopped in Nice for a day on another cruise, and my family of 6 (including 2 elderly parents) got screamed at by a restauranteur for not knowing he was saving his entire outdoor section for a tour group coming. We just wanted lunch. He yelled at us in French, and my brain froze up, but I did understand what he was saying, just slowly. It had at that point been 25 yrs since high school French, but I was able to translate to my family and get them moved. What was the point of that? You are in a tourist town, while ships are in port, at lunch time, with plenty of tables empty and a willing group of customers, and you tell us to F off... They have a reputation for a reason.
I went to Paris once years ago. It was the worst experience. It was a really awful place and the racism very open. I only stayed 2 days and left never to return.
Yep! He isn’t rude to any of the White women asking questions I’ve noticed on this train journey. I’m so sad.

It depends how old they are. Older people and people who are 40 years old or more don't speak English or just few words.
Younger people know more English (not all, it depends if they studied it consciously).
But the best thing to do is asking younger people something in English. You have more chance to have a reply in English.
Oh and Paris does not represent the whole French. In other cities, French are much nicer. Parisians are special 😂.
What do think ? That all French people speak English ? Its in France. We speak French. Period.
Murad, it’s insanely racist. Went there 6 years ago and they were so rude to Asian customers. These customers waited for their meal while ppl got served meals that came in after them. Their order was stuffed up then their change was given them back all in coins and not notes. Quite frankly we were appalled and embarrassed for the restaurant owner and staff. The world has moved on and these poor customers sensed they were being mistreated so got up and left without eating the meal they waited ages for. France was the least favourite place and not what ppl crank it up to be. The thieving is ridiculous.
Good. Don’t go back.
You're proving his POINT! RUDE, disrespectful, ungrateful, egotistical. The NERVE @angelwings7930
yes, re robbery and stealing, it's a national sport, no shame. I live here. My Christmas wreath was stolen off my door and my window boxes were stolen too, and that was in a nice neighborhood. That shattered me.
They are rude to everyone all races , is what I was told.
There is good and bad in every1 !
Murad we all asian people are friendly n courteous esp if u come to Singapore,Malaysia, Indonesia,Thailand, Philippines, Brunei, Sabah,Sarawak n other asian countries.
Very chill people in Asia. Amazing how such a large land mass and collection of cultures seems to share similar characteristics of non-confrontation and harmony. I hope the rest of the world can learn from their example.
After the way they treated our 🇯🇲 Queen 👸🏾 of track and field Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 🐐 yesterday, not letting her through the gate to warm up for the 100m, causing her to withdraw from the race 😤 I’m not surprised 😒
😮😡
The Duke of Windsor was happy to live in France
really?!
I'm appalled.
Apparently sha carri Richarson and Shelly Ann had to walk about an hour to get to the warm up. They missed the warm-up , that's why Shelly-Ann pulled out. Good for her, if that is what took place. Dem people ya out order 💁
Don't let them take your energy, considering the Olympics are on , you would think public servants would be proudly showing off their country.❤❤much love
I attended some the opening and some of the olympics games , I do not experienced bad behaviours and I am not white. You always have stupid people in the world and this person was definitely one of them. Not to generalise, the atmosphere was really good and civil servant I met were awesome.

Perhaps that is why he was grouchy !!! Over worked and not payed enough .

As brit in France I just expect the French 2 b rude 2 me. 🤷🏻♀️ but u r right don't accept it!
Never heard a single positive experience about French people…
Oh my god YESSS. I went to France in 2018 and NEVER went back. The amount of unnecessary rudeness was just unbelievable
I'm *not* surprised by this at all. I've heard a lot of ppl on TikTok who have traveled to France and they have stated the same thing. They *always* say that they are rude and are very musty 😂😂😂
France has more tourists than other countries
@@monichatYou sure are kissing some serious French butt in the comments😂😘🤢🤡
@monichat So what? That doesn't give them the right to be mean to people. America gets a lot of tourism too and you do not hear tourists complaining all the time about Americans like they do with the French
@@abby-a Go to New York City to see up close terrible rudeness- The food in USA is terrible, In France you eat divinely well - I'll never go back to US, never ever - Pollution, rudeness and bad food
Lived in Paris 10 years. Give that same energy back. My passed on husband was French from Sete. He told me most of France especially Paris are nothing but racists narcissists. That’s how he grew up he said. May he be at peace now 🙏🏽 😢
May he rest in peace ❤️
Sorry for your loss ❤❤
If France looks like this today and see much more arabs, blacks and almoat no french, then I can fully understand the people. Go back where you come from.
Report him...don't let it go .... because he's not supposed to behave like that....believe me he will be sacked or something !!!! You find brainless EVERYWHERE !!! Welcome to Paris....and Sorry for that unpleasant experience.
agreed he needs to be reported
Sacked???...heck they give these louts medals for their behaviour and laugh behind the tourists backs.
He won’t be sacked😅😅
@@shawnscarratt8468 Are you french !? I suppose not ! Report him and gather somme support/evidences and some actions will be taken against him...because he's not in a private space !!!! Even if there's not enough evidence it will be stored in his files....Believe me there's a chance he has a history of such a behavior !!!
Youd have to report 90% of the whole country…
I travel a lot, but never been to France, don’t particularly want to, their rudeness is legendary.
I always give back what I get, if it’s good, I tip generously, but if it’s bad, they just get a piece of my mind!
I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting me.
France is one of those countries where you'd better speak the language. They have no right to make such a demand, since they are a 2nd tier country dependent on American military aid, but their geo-location makes this a de-facto privilege of theirs.
@@sensorycircuits1338Military aid ? 😂
There rude until they need an army 🫐
It’s the first time I’ve ever said “I have no desire to visit a country because of their people.” And that’s how I feel about France
Same 💯
Ben ne viens pas alors. On s'en fout.
Unfortunately that's why a lot of people do not come there.
i am just wondering why you guys think France stops in Paris. Even some of us from other parts of France we would rather go to prison than deal with Parisian. it is something about the energy in the capital that turns my blood into vinegar. You guys need to visit other regions . we get it most of the money from the nation is in Paris but its nicer elswhere.
@@PHlophe Thanks for saying that. I’m going to Reims🍾and Dijon🍯 in 4 weeks and I’m hoping I won’t run into the rudeness. 😊
@@PHlophe France has too many tourists and it's not geared to just serve people like vending machines. There is an expectation that the visitor will put some effort into being French in some sense, like Hemingway (It's not 1923 anymore, BTW). Modern tourists have only a week and expect more of a Vegas experience, where, for example, the Chinese food is better than it is in China and the putonghua is on point.
That's being my experience with the French
When you travel to France - SPEAK FRENCH !!!!!!
@@monichat Je parle parfaitement français et ça ne change rien !!! Quelle excuse débile pour être de con***
@@monichatyou’re just proving everything ppl are saying
When I went to Africa I did try my best to speak local language. I got a lot mixed up and we had a good joke; respect us earned Not DEMANDED RIGHT !
The French have had the reputation of rudeness, extremely so, for a long long time. I'm sorry you had to experience it. I agree, there is no place for rudeness, and especially in the kind of situation that you are/were in. They're being paid to do that jub which includes customer service..... not stand there and talk/text with your friends.
They are beyond rude is unbelievable 🙄🙄
This makes me so appreciative of our London Underground and Network Rail staff, they are always so helpful and courteous.
The British is very mannerly❤❤
I loved visiting London. People are very friendly and polite. I felt like a lady. For example, in "Choccywoccydoodah", the employees, realizing that it was my birthday, invited everyone present to sing happy birthday to me! Super lovely people. I definitely have to go back.
Absolutely, in every city or town I've been to in the UK, people wer every polite, and helpful!
Completely understand. It's insane. Literally. These people are not right in the head!
Been to parts of France many times and found the French people so friendly and helpful. They warm to you more if you can speak French.
Murad, I’m glad that you checked them back. I don’t care if that’s the norm for the people in Paris. Maybe they need to learn some damn manners.
Disrespect them back 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sorry this happened to you 😔
Give them the same energy!
Black American here…. I was shocked at the racist behavior I experienced in Paris. They are pretty rude.
Yankee go home
They're rude to everyone even Scarlett Johansson who lived there
A reason people pay for first-class is for more courteous service.
I really don’t like people who are rude and disrespectful for no reason, defo have to give back the same energy 💯💫✨
I’m over Paris and really it’s France for me. I saw how they treated Kelly Rowland and other people of color. There’s a few countries I want to go to in Europe, and France ain’t one.
Hope the rest of your trip goes better.
Then u will miss out from seeing the ifil tower ..
@@Sthmohtwenty Las Vegas has an ifil tower, so does China.
@@sensorycircuits1338 its not d same ...
There’s good and bad in France, it helps if you speak in French to them. A certain snooty type are a real wind up, I hear Parisians are cold even to other French. last year I went northwest to Anjou region and was pleasantly surprised with courteous people, lovely food and wine, a big castle in Angers, and chocolate shops. I suddenly got France, for the first time in 60 years
That's why I don't go there anymore. The rudeness is off the chain. But well done for standing up to it. I wish I could have seen his face when you did so.
I thought it was just me, they were so rude at the enquiry window at the station, refused to tell me which station to go to for my train & then laughed as I walked off
Murad: I lived in Geneva for 5years and interacted with the French, and yes they are rude and full of themselves sometimes. They believe they are superior to others.
I get it
They are superior
All cuscasian r ..it cal white privilege their skin colour fooling them ...a polish I. London think she own London.

Weird colonialist complex
Lol same in Mexico is hard with the french people ,they feel very entitled is weird .
A lot of them are Sooo rude. Ruined my visit to Paris. Never again.
On my mom's last overseas trip, she said the French people were really rude and the Italian people were the best. She said the French people just about ruined their trip. Sad.
I've dealt with a lot of French, Dutch and German people in my life.The most down to earth people out of all of them to me are Germans. When they are in Rome they do as the Romans but the other 2 are stuck up.I've never had a rude experience with Germans but the French and Dutch can be very full of themselves and rude
@@ashlouw5350 yes! My mom said the German people were amazing! I have not been. I've only been to Greece to visit our family!
They have lost their way if anything the opening ceremony is anything to go by but there is no excuse for being rude just come to Australia we welcome everyone but sorry for your experience hopefully not all French are like that
They love saying they’re just “honest” Like, the gaslighting is unreal. 😂😂
Furthermore 20 years ago I was held up in a supermarket for being a brown person with a debit card. It was embarrassing they wanted to call my bank in the UK, in front of my 5 year old son, holding up the whole supermarket queue. They sent security guard out to car park to get the registration plate of my local French friend’s car. The guard was Spanish & spoke to my mate in French & apologised & said they weren’t used to ppl of colour having debit cards……..what an Effin cheek. I had convo with a beautiful Asian girl who informed me they’re worse towards Africans than Asians but that was 20 years ago & I know things have gotten worse since then.
They are so rude ur so right
Rude people,everywhere, especially the ones that constantly speculate and certain people everyday
Rude people are unhappy people
They are very rude i had a big off with a very rude Liberace looking man at a restaurant in Morocco, he thought it was okay to loudly mock my laugh and my voice. I went up to his table after being seated and tore him one, he was so shocked. Then my husband did the same when he got to the restaaurant.. Ruins your day when you get that kind of ignorance.
Yep agreed, I experienced that, the last time I visited Paris; it's almost like, if you can't speak their language properly, they show you the hand, really, super rude attitude. I think it's on purpose because they perhaps do not want you visiting again, don't like your colour of skin and the fact that they are serving you, or, something along those lines. Keep it real M, you are not the only one and sadly, you will not be the last, I mean look at the dam Olympics coverage, mocking the Christian faith. Disgraceful and disgusting!
I lived for 18 years in France, I had two bad experiences. Less than in my homeland. Maybe I was lucky.
For me it’s the people that makes the country
100%
Americans don’t like to go to France because of the rudeness.
Americans are rude too.
Americans invade France constantly
Nope 👎. I am close to retirement and will be traveling, but “Forget Paris,” end not France.
In the 1980s, my European history professor said she won’t speak English or speak French when she’s in Paris, but only speaks Spanish! Her area a specialty is pre-revolutionary France 🇫🇷! She speaks French! She knows the language! But French ppl are so awful, she speaks Spanish when she travels to that country! She said this in class in the 1980s.
Then in the 1990s, my sister and some friends from college traveled to Paris. By the time of the trip, all three were working in their professions and had more degree attainment past uni degrees. She said French ppl were rude, nasty and Paris itself was dirty and disappointing.
I won’t be spending any of MY finds as a traveler in Paris or the rest of the country either. They treat tourists and travelers despicably for many decades.
@@kittykatz4001 Jealous of the beauty of France - Sir Laurence Olivier wrote in his memoirs that he couldn't make up his mind as to which was his favourite city, Paris or St-Petersburg (Russia) A great man who spoke French and was broad minded
I’m an American francophile and francophone: have you seen American travel abroad? They’re embarrassing and ignorant and obnoxious.
Murad, it is known some French people can be rude and abrupt however, its not only the French it happens with most nationalities. I holidayed in Provence last summer and all the French I encountered were polite. I’m going to Paris soon so I’m worried now. Hope your okay it’s horrible when you experience rudeness and or racial prejudice 😢
Peter Mayle loved France and especially Provence - Wrote he never ate better in his whole life - He was a british with brains
You are right. Swedes are rude and xenophobic also. I had a bad experience at the tourism office in Stockholm. The shock of my life.
I didn't experience much, but I saw the lifestyle and said bye bye. Dont let the tower fool you lol
Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport train. "First" Class. I was smartly dressed in velvet jacket and white trousers and was wheeling my quite heavy Zero H suitcase onto the train.
I'm old not doddery, but was rushing onto the train and tripped and fell over.
The "porter" just stood watching me struggle to get up and get my suitcase onto the train before it started off; not even _faux_ attempting to help or asking me if l was okay.
My pride was hurt more than my bones but l was really shocked at his cold stoical behaviour on what was supposed to be "First" class but for many reasons was worse than economy. No coffee service as promised etc etc I purchased the ticket as it gave me free lounge access at the Airport, but the lounge was closed.
Just one of those days? No, l think we are just as bad as the French. Possibly worse.
Esp since BR train staff are well known to give wrong platform advice _for a "laugh"_ so you end up in Stoke when you should be in Scarborough.
For entertainment / educational purposes only!
That is absolutely horrible and sick...how sad..These European and the U.S. are increasingly becoming more racist to all People of Color and Asians
Murad, don't take this too personally. Am half French and lived here for many years and still have difficulty with an often rude brusque lack of manners which shocks many anglophones. Places like Paris and Nice worse. Of course know some lovely French people, but they are often perceived as arrogant, and yes, racist. If it happens again, step your tone and ask to see the supervisor! Enjoy the beauty, food and culture
Please stay happy don't let him make u unhappy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌞🌞🌞🌞♥️♥️
I work for a French company in the US - NYC. They are the rudest people ever!!! I always help tourists from all walks of life directions. It’s not that difficult. Sorry for you! 🤗🥰
Sorry about that, I have been to France to there’s a lot of rudeness and racism in France
And misogyny, especially to white women. Females in general are no longer safe in Paris.
Ooh yes! They are naturally rude!! My country speak French and English and the French speaker are very rude.
I've been told they prefer you to speak FRENCH. By being rude it is to force the travellers to speak there language😉
And I honestly don’t give a damn I don’t speak French learn to adapt to tourist especially during the olympics
@@muradmerali434That's rude ! I travel in some foreign countries and always learn some of the basic sentences plus read about their custom beforehand.
And lot of french understand English even if they don't speak it well, then better be careful if you speak loud of them.
And an employee isn't our employee, then clients have to respect them first. And there are laws to protect them from their employer too.
But if an employee during his duty don't have a correct attitude, especially if they are in uniform, are state officer or sncf employees, their attitude should be reported to their employer.
@@muradmerali434 What do you think ? You are a guest in France. You should try at least to greet in France. If you don't greet before talking with someone, You are Rude. That the culture here. You should stick to it.
Thank you for using your platform to call this sort of rudeness/ racism out. It’s important not to brush it off and show it’s not acceptable
They always have been !! If you don't speak French they hate it
Sometimes even if you do they’re still rude unless you challenge them. I lived there and I remember one grocery store worker who would literally go out of her way to be an ass because I wasn’t completely fluent. I’m conversational and speak enough to be understood, and in most places it was fine but there’s always one who doesn’t feel like they have any power so they’ll take it out by being as rude as possible to foreigners.
When I tried to speak French they asked me what language I was speaking!
Well I speak perfect french and doesn't change anything, they are just bad "people"
Murad bring out the South London, you know we don't play.
😂❤🎉
Just take a look at their joke of an olympics! Nuff said!!!
😂
So true. What a Godless bunch many of them
The whole world is an angry place right now. Resist the temptation to join in the madness 💕
Do you think it’s to do with your culture? I’ve been to France several times as a black person and never experienced any bad vibes or disrespect. Mind you, this was over a decade plus ago and a lot has changed since then. You’re right Murad, never allow anyone to disrespect you. Try and enjoy your time there.
I have never had the desire to go to France . There is no need for that .
I am glad you clarified it was Nice, because it happened to me in Nice too, the lady at the airport went mental at me for no reason - other parts of France including Paris have all been lovely though, had good encounters everywhere else.
Had same thing happen to me in bus station in Glasgow, Scotland. exact situation, tried to find out information and was treated as if i was invisible. So i completely feel same as you felt. It annoyed me all day and i was very upset. I'm very wary of traveling now.
Agree, Glasgow sucks. Our first experience there was the same. The people there were cold, depressing and quite xenophobic. We definitely would never go back there and we tell all our friends to skip Glasglow. Edinburgh was way better. More friendly and international and much more beautiful.
sorry to hear, im a half argentinian, half algerian person born in france and its sad to hear that was your experience, i promise we are not all like that,
I've been to France a few times on holiday and never ever found the French people to be rude.
That’s “les frouzes” for you! In fairness not all of them are like that. I’m bilingual, so well able to handle them! I lived there but couldn’t wait to leave! Maybe holidays at a push but so many other places where people, food, scenery are nicer.
My nephew had a bad experience He & his friends had pre-booked a table at a restaurant & they wouldn’t let them in . They had to argue their refund. So racist & out of order
Mirad, why is it that OK magazine can't give Mimii and Josh a break... I can not believe that after they did the shooting with the winners of Love Island, they followed it by doing a shooting with Joey Essex. they haven't even done 2nd place winners...
Ok, Magazine, have NEVER done that before for any other Love Island...
They just can't give a black couple TRUE RECOGNITION.... really sad...
I also have had unpleasant experiences on Les Trains de Grand Vitesse and French trains. Years ago, an Italian train employee kindly reserved tables and compartments on the trains we took from Rome to Biarritz and back. We were politely shown to our reserved seats in Italy, but in France, they refused to let us sit in our reserved seats around a table, but let French citizens take them, even though the seat numbers were clearly written on our tickets. We didn’t argue, but on the return trip I had our family sit in our assigned seats and when the rude conductors tried to eject us, I asked to speak to their manager and pointed to the seat numbers on out tickets.
Nice is not nice. Our motel was filthy. They didn’t change the towels or sheets in a 3* hotel and refused to clean the room. Also, while I was waiting for my husband with my children on a sidewalk in Nice, I was propositioned by several men. I told these creeps that I was shocked they would hit on me with my kids next to me, and they said they wanted the kids, too. Now, I avoid Nice. I go to sweet little French towns, where the people are welcoming, moral, and friendly. Not all French people are rude. It is a beautiful country, and I will continue to go there, but I will seek out family run restaurants, boulangeries,…and I will ask to speak to the proprietors when an employee is not acting professionally.
In future, try not to look American. Many French people don’t like Americans. Leave your baseball cap at home and don’t wear T shirts and sweatshirts with American cities or places on them. Looking American will trigger them.
Omg I'm just nice to anyone who interacts with me. Some people are just plain nasty
My sister and brother and their spouses went to vacation there and they said the same about the trains, and the rudeness. I have no longer desired to visit there.
The French are like that in Montreal and Quebec as well. As if they own Canada even though the country is bilingual.
Sorry for your experience but it will likely happen again. 😁
Oof! Quebecois French sounds like a horrible dialect. 😄 It's not even an elegant accent like the European French.
That was terrible 😔!! They should expect people to ask where to go!! It is their job to assist people with their travel.. they don't want to do the job ...don't take it!!!
We were in Germany, taking the train to France we had tickets for the tvg train the( high speed train) the two French guys in uniforms just stood there and ignored us when we tried to get them to help us get to the correct train (which we ended up missing). We had to take the next train which made a stop where we had to get off and transfer trains. Once on the train we met a nice woman and her little children who made the effort to talk to us she was from Algeria and spoke fluent French very nice lady. The rest of our trip in Paris we spent our whole nine days speaking only to each other most people weren’t very friendly or helpful accept in the Louvre and that’s because they have employees who speak different languages. We are US Americans a nice young British man helped us. When in France we spoke to other foreigners from around the world, 🩵✌🏼who at least made the effort to communicate with us, the French not so much.
For us DUTCH people, it is well known that French (speaking) people are RUDE if they are being confronted with people who dont speak French. Then they panic!
We DUTCH always will try to communicate with other people in their own language, but you will never experience the opposite. And especially with French people.
Italians are very kind, when they notice that you are trying to communicate with them in their language 🙏
Only thing that i ask myself, if people who only speak one language are narrow minded 😉
The Dutch are even ruder than the French. So abrupt direct and arrogant.
Dutch people are rude!
Dutch are so rude and arrogant
The DUTCH are rude and arrogant
The Dutch are known to be rude
Look if you are NOT a blue eyed and blonde white woman or man, no matter where you go you are going to experience racism . Sadly its all over the world not just paris.😏
Its all over here in USA /america ,its in Asia,italy etc
No matter where you go it will happen,just ignore it and move on.😒
Dont let it ruined your day.👍🙂
That’s not true. The think they are better than certain whites too. They are snooty
I feel 99% of the French people are very nice but that 1% makes up for the rest of them in rudeness. That has been my experience of France.
Yuuup they are rude. I had a similar experience in Nice Vile station going to Cannes. Also rude Uber driver giving my sister a dirty look for getting in the front seat. We were 3 passengers, he wanted us to be squashed at the back.
Nah. You don't need to be rude and disrespectful back. The best is to get em back where it hurts....be absolutely overly nice to them. Lol. I do this all the time. It pisses them off so much.....or it'll make them feel horrible for treating you like shit. Works every time. Theres no way you lose. You win each and every time. You get good karma and they get the bad 😂🤣
I have to admit i live in France and i can never get used to how rude they are. The really educated ones are really lovely.
Sorry you had this bad experience ! French are not all the same. You will enjoy your trip don’t worry. I’m French and we are not all rude like this man. We are rather suspicious in general after our bad experiences linked to unchosen immigration which creates a feeling of insecurity. That said, this does not excuse this person's aggressive behavior
If the Frenchman,by the carriage, didn't speak any English,how did he ever say "Do you not see ---Why do you ask me ---" YOU are just a liar ! And in case you're not aware ,slavery has been abolished in France .And why are you saying that Parisians are rude ,when you know for sure you are in Nice ?
Went to Canada the French Canadian aren't very nice to
Quebec also has that same rep. Entitled and rude for no reason.
If you are walking on Quebec streets speaking with your colleagues in English, suddenly you will feel pushed or nudged roughly, then realize you've been "shouldered". Imagine grown adults behaving this way!
We took the train from Barcelona to Perpignan and back. All the people were lovely to us even as English speaking Americans. We traveled throughout Provence for 4 days this June.
I went to Paris when I was 12 and happened to watch the last Tour de France that Lance Armstrong was competition in. Anyhow it was the grosses city, homeless pooping in the street next to public restrooms, porn hanging on signs advertising women on a whole random street in the middle of the city, everything gilded in gold but covered in trash and at the Tour de France, I actually dropped a piece of trash on the ground and went to pick it up and got HECKLED by a grown man who said to me "This isn't america you dont need to pick that up (dumbass)". also someone nicked 40$ from my pocket that had a zipper so somone unzipped my pants stole my cash and zipped my pants pocket back up without me noticing. i was 12 and didnt know any better. Anyone else do rhat Swiss Invitational Basketball Tournament in Zurich in like...2006??
Listen murad, don’t even stress, 4k people have seen this vid, so you’ve made some cash from those fools.
Yes they are very, very, very rude, I was in Paris in 1984 for a visit and they were rude then, I will never go back again, I'm sure it must be even worse now. Never again.
In such cases I always write a complaint! It works!
They are so bloody rude Murad😡Complain because if you don't they will just keep getting away with it!!
Yes, they are. Just came back from Nice a few days ago and let me tell you they are renk their customer service is terrible but I did meet a few nice ones. I also had my translator on, on my phone, I was ready for them 😂
I thought it was just against us Americans, but I guess not. They really are the worst. I haven't been to Paris, but just to two ports in France- Nice and Honfleur. A million years ago, I had taken 7 years of French, and did well enough in it in high school, I passed out of four levels of college French. All I ever wanted to do was order a croissant in a French bakery in French, and I tried to in Honfleur. They acted like they could not understand me at all. I know what I said was grammatically correct, and my accent was not terrible. They were just a-holes. Fast forward 15 years, and we stopped in Nice for a day on another cruise, and my family of 6 (including 2 elderly parents) got screamed at by a restauranteur for not knowing he was saving his entire outdoor section for a tour group coming. We just wanted lunch. He yelled at us in French, and my brain froze up, but I did understand what he was saying, just slowly. It had at that point been 25 yrs since high school French, but I was able to translate to my family and get them moved. What was the point of that? You are in a tourist town, while ships are in port, at lunch time, with plenty of tables empty and a willing group of customers, and you tell us to F off... They have a reputation for a reason.
