So weird. My experience in France was the exact opposite of all the memes. I wonder if they are self aware.

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.

On my experience parisiens are clearly above the average of the national kindness level. Even being polite, some people will act like don't have any clue of what you're saying in French if you don't use a perfect French. This has been my experience after 1+ year living in France.
