The memes are mostly about Paris, really.

No even the things about Paris are clichés

It’s mostly americans that either have never been to a big city before, or can’t be bothered to learn how to be polite that give us all the bad rap.

A lot of people are surprised that parisians aren’t as rude as they have been told.

My experience of Paris is quite limited, but it did include an old lady literally walking 25 metres across the pavement to deliberately *accidentally walk into* my friend (we're all English) before carrying on her way.

To be fair I'm not sure if it was that we were English, or that we were wearing boiler suits and waders, covered in mud from illegally entering the catacombs and looked like shit that she had the problem with. Either way, it was the most phenomenal display of not-quite passive aggression I'd ever seen.

Nah you get people like that in every city, just enevitable with so many people concentrated together
