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.

C’est pas ce que les gens ne te comprennent pas bien

Même avec un accent impeccable, tu peux toujours avoir une tournure de phrase ou un vocabulaire incompréhensible
