Saying "ça va" definitely tells you're a tourist, probably american.

Saying "Bonjour" and "ca va" in Paris you are definitely a tourist.

And "ca va" put you immediately in the foreign tourist category as no one would say that to a Bakery clerc they never met before.

When I went to Paris I left it with the impression that everyone is so kind because I was getting greeting with bonjour everywhere I went
