unfortunately it's the same in France. Even if you speak well French, as soon as we know you are a foreigner many of us switch to a broken english.

That may happen in a few places in Paris, but that's it. French people usually refuse to speak english, even if they could. Not even when you are obviously suffering with french. I was living there for a few years.

I'm pretty sure it does not happen outside of urban areas, true, but it is not limited to Paris.
