How should an American act in France?
Sensibly. Above all, TRY TO SPEAK FRENCH. When I ran a B&B Inn in France, I always told people that if the French are rude to you, it serves you right. Imagine someone going into a shop in New York and shouting at the assistants in French! Could they expect politeness? French people like foreigners to try to speak French. After all, it's our country, they say, so speak our language. IF you make the effort, and get into difficulties, they'll help. The French can be the most helpful people in the world. People in our area of Normandy would turn up with lost Americans they had convoyed to us for miles, just because the tourists tried to speak French and ask the way, but had trouble understanding the answer.
