What she meant by "you're always very happy" is that Americans (usually) are over-the-top friendly at the first encounter. The French (and most Europeans) are way more reserved at first. So, the too happy/friendly/big smile from the get go makes us uncomfortable because we feel it's not genuine. 😬 And no, we don't hate Americans, we hate everyone equally. Including ourselves 😌

I've been to France twice and never felt like I was hated. At worst people seemed to be trying to get on with their day and ignored me. The friend I was traveling with knew enough French to get by. He taught me how to say "I'm sorry, I don't speak French" and everybody was cool about it. At one point we ran out of gas on the highway and some kind of road assistance van stopped to help after my friend went to look for a station. He had Google Translate or something on his phone and we were able to communicate just fine. The vast majority were very nice.

I have been to France twice and the people there were always nice to me. It could be because I am a Cajun from Louisiana. I noticed that if I spoke to them in Cajun French they were instantly charmed, so I could think of no reason to speak English while in France. Most of the people I met in France had never heard a Louisiana French accent and would ask where I was from. Most would guess Canada. Sometimes I would turn it into a drinking-fueled guessing game. Overall, I must say my visits to France have been positive.

I used to be a tour guide in the 1980s! Americans arrive with the sketchiest knowledge about France. As a guide I spent more time correcting misconceptions and 'putting out fires' than actually explaining things. It's exhausting. Ultimately the best policy is just to give them what they want.

Non on ne déteste pas les américains, mais notre culture est différente. En France la discrétion et la réserve sont assez prisées, donc exit les discussions à (très) haute voix, c'est assez mal vu, voire un manque de respect pour les autres. En Amérique, il semble que la tendance soit plus à l'expressivité, et à la réussite. Donc, quand un américain très expressif rencontre un français très réservé, et bien chacun trouve l'autre mal poli alors qu'ils ne font que respecter leurs valeurs.

The French don't hate Americans. Its a cultural thing and its often misunderstood. There is a great video by "Not Even French" that talks about this but there are a few reasons why people think this. First its not just Americas. Its French vs. The world. Many people visiting France report their experiences with the french people are negative, so much so, that France had a few movements to try to combat this. One was called 'Smile' and the other was 'Do you speak tourist'. I think one of the big problems is that many people vacation to Paris which is already a condensed area as it is, with a city population of 2.2 million people, with an additions 10 million is surround suburbs making it the most populated city in the EU. Its also one of the busiest cities in the EU, with commuters having at least a one hour commute each way, working 10 hours, etc. So when you are in Paris and try to make small talk (which i something they do no really do) they may be uninterested due to being exhausted... or if you try to speak English to them, it could be a language barrier. Then add to the fact it also takes on 20mil tourist a year. And this is just Paris. Not France as a whole. France as a whole takes on 60 million tourist a year. Many locals report tourist as being disruptive, disrespectful of french culture and customs. Not to mention the culture differences between France and England, or France and America. Tourist go to France without an interest in really experiencing the land, the food, the culture, they don't try to participate in the language. French people are very proud of their French roots so when a tourist goes over to France with no interest in really experiencing France, or expecting the same day to day as in the native country its irritating. Its not that french hate people or are rude. I think its a cultural misunderstanding.

[@KannaAlperonathemaleficient]

[@dano9008]

I think you are spot on in citing tourism. They have a love/hate relationship with it. Their economy/way of life needs it, but it must be a strain.

I find that people tend to treat you the way you treat them - act like an arrogant know-it-all and don't be surprised if you get a less than friendly response. And waiters are not rude, they just are different from American and Canadian service staff. They're professionals on salary and not sucking up for tips. Their job is to take your order, bring your food and drink, take your payment, and that's about it. They don't hover, try to be your newest bestest friend, or ask every five minutes if everything is OK (why would it not be?). If you need something, ask; when you're ready to pay, signal them.

[@alainproviste3523]

This dumb "rude and arrogant French" thing is an Anglo US invention, and is based on nothing. It's a total crap. It's a COMMUNICATION problem which mostly comes from cultural differences, and nothing else. Most of the French are more reserved than loud Anglosaxons who shout and yell every 5 minutes for anything, but many French are probably more open minded than other nationalities. As for Parisians, they are not rude, but a lot are stressed, like in any major world city, where people often deal with harsh daily life problems. Go in NYC or London, and enjoy. Individual people and crowds are 2 different things, if you take the time to communicate,. Too, countries are not theme parks. I really think that there is a deep mental issue with the French among Anglosphere. A mixture of frustration and hidden jealousy. If France is still the first tourist destination in the world, it's probably for some good reasons.

Now let me tell you as a Frenchman so everyone can understand. Saying the French hate americans is complete BS , comes from someone who has never spoken with french people. That's what the media tells you for political reasons since De Gaulle, Chirac, the war in iraq etc and unfortunately you believe it. it's actually the exact opposite. While most of my fellows do have a kind of "admiration" for americans, for the wrong reasons (because they think everyone is rich in the US and most high tech comes from US and 1th ecnonomic power and blablabla); I for my part (represent a minority) started hating on americans for a real reason, after actually knowing them, after seeing so much crap they throw at us for free, just like bullies when most of us are fond of them. Should it be the constant humiliation about WW2/surrender/White flag because they ignore history, the FFL and French Résistance, and the French military as a whole, americans believe their politics would never surrender (White house burnt 1812, Fort necessity 1754, Surrender of the Phillipines, Vietnam and so on) And that's where the "arrogant" part comes in. I never understood how an American can call a Frenchman arrogant when they bully for free then expect us to say thanks? To blindly agree with bullshit wars like Iraq? Now that is arrogant. We are not inferiors we are equal human beings. They don't learn French language yet they find arrogant the fact we don't speak well english?? That's arrogant. Not knowing our History yet insulting us about it, when a Frenchman would never insult US history that way, expecting Frenchmen to be ok with it. that's arrogant. Saying our country would be speaking german, that arrogant too (and wrong) considering the fact the French are not constantly boasting about the fact USA would not exist without French military in the independance war. So in conclusion, the majority of the French still like the Americans in spite of all the sh1t they receive from them, but for the minority like me that have good reasons to hate, it's simply because of your disrespectful behaviour towards us. if you want to be respected simply start actually respecting others, stop insulting, bullying, humiliating, if you want to bully over past history start learning it before, stop considering ourselves as inferiors that only have the right to agree and receive crap. P.S: There are many Americans that totally respect the French, some are Francophiles and know our history, if you are among them please forgive my message that sounds quite offensive but is not directed to you. Only directed to those numerous people who hate us and mock us without any reason. I hope you understand.

That was my case also, until I discovered the extent of how much they ruined our reputation in the world with that BS. Because english became the first language in the west, the cultural bullying has spread everywhere. Even in Europe you have people insulting France for no reason, other than they are braindead zombies repeating the english cultural French bashing. Even when it makes no historical sense with their own country . Just because it's "fun" to bully the French the American way. You have books about it "50 reasons to hate the French".

The comment section may not be the best place for us to have a good discussion about this. I pray that you grow and gather a better understanding of this subject. Empathy is an integral part of the learning process, as well.

Konstantinos Margaronis Trust me, there are millions of Americans who are trying to change this. Unfortunately, the ignorant opposition label this as ‘socialism’ or even ‘communism’. It’s an uphill battle, certainly. Most point to the high taxation required to pay for the services and ignore the elevation of the standard of living it would bring about.

Social Security and Medicare are both a thing.

[@denise9926]

@@gaijinfishing Yes! U are right, we have Medicare and social security for the elderly and Medicaid for the poor. I don’t know what that other person is talking about. Don’t get me wrong, our current system is not the best and I would change it for sure, but we have so many programs for those in need.

[@cvn6555]

Maybe our refusal to embrace full-on socialism is why we are considered the richest country on Earth. I say "considered" because our debt, unfunded liabilities and pending pension bombs will reduce our national standard of living greatly in the near future. Social programs recently nearly killed Greece and the same thing happening everywhere.

Eva is fantastic in the 'Penny Dreadful' series. She gives a standout performance in Season 3, Episode 4: 'A Blade Grass'. A great actor.

Eva Green was my Bi awakening when I was younger

[@cinemike8207]

Lol when I was in Paris a taxi driver told me that it's just the heavy tourism that gets exhausting to some of the French. It's kind of a two side thing though because tourism also brings in a lot of money and business over there. I think it's the flood of tourists who don't speak french or just totally butcher the language and the entitlement that some have. All of that said, I had an incredible experience there and the majority of french people I spoke to were friendly. You could just tell that here and there a person would be thinking, ugh just get out of my way American lol. That's true in most major cities though towards tourists.

[@tnlockchalek]

"when we go in France it looks like they hate us" well two things : 1.Parisians are not like French people in general. 2.If you behave poorly with no respect for the country and its customs, of course people will look down on you. Period.

Design and Web because Americans are so humble right ? Every country is proud of its culture, and that may seem arrogant to you but please don't generalise and think of the ways in which you might appear arrogant too for a foreigner

[@donnorman6526]

@@maellea8437 It's not true, french are not even proud of france! it's totally the opposite, it's the individuals "french" "parisians" that are arrogant and think they are better than others when I talk with them they hate France and all of them want to go out of the country just watch the documentaries on tf1 or m6, about french who did it outside of france. You know that, you can be proud of your country and still be humble and don't be a prick about it, and I have been in other countries to point out.

You know, it just varies from person to person, until it becomes a general description. Personally in America, I experienced that when you ask a stranger about something you just go straight to that person and ask while in France, you greet the person then ask.

Eva is such an amazing actress,but I would like to se more interviews with her to see what she’s really like. I’ve seen several films she was in and her characters are all so different. I loved her evilness in Dark Shadows.

[@ChefNourhan]

I love love love Eva Green she is a brilliant actress .

[@adinal1958]

I'm blown away by the fact that she's French. I've always thought she was British, and I guess I just never realized it's because I've always seen her play British roles (Penny Dreadful, Casino Royale) and her accent is that good. I had absolutely no idea she wasn't British.

[@dntskdnttll]

Some accents from different European countries tend to sound British when the speaker uses English.

[@moontrucker8939]

She took lessons from a coach & lived in London for any yrs.

[@griplimit]

“Americans are always very happy” clearly she’s never been to the New York or Boston areas.

I am Hispanic American working for a French Company in the United States. I used to take French in High School and was good with it. French and Spanish have some similarities in words. It is a cultural shock between French and Americans. That is it. C'est La Vie.

[@1inchpunisher715]

Facts, Spanish and French are very similar

[@iforgot87872]

When she said "Americans- you're always very happy"- I checked the year- oh yeah- 2015- right when Americans (I am one) started to go nuts and hate each other.

[@thunderstruck8087]

You are 100% correct. The liberals are always unhappy, even when their guy wins. It's called mental illness.

I never understood Guillermo’s part, is he there to be made fun of and humiliated? Seems like it, I don’t get it

[@Optidorf]

He has the important role of antagonizing Matt Damon. A role which is arguably even more important than hosting the show.

[@RioMuc]

I never understood his function in the show, but because I don't want him to lose his job, I will not say that I think he's superfluous, although I think so. 😁

[@justinblakeney3466]

[@hughjass8430]

I'm Irish. Went to Paris for a rugby match years ago. You just assume in the capital city, EVERYWHERE will have an english menu with staff who speak english. Wrong! Went into this tiny cafe. French menu with very french food, the owner came to the table to take our order, didnt speak a word of english. My school french deciphered the menu enough to order something for myself and my buddy. The owner snapped the menus out of our hands and stamped off. When she came back with the drinks, i decided to try out what I could remember from my school day. I basically said we were Irish, here for a game and her cafe was really very nice..... It was like a switch flipped in her head. Suddenly we were like a couple of her regular customers. "Ahhhhh, you speak French, why didnt you before!" I said (in french) I studied it at school but had forgotten alot of it. She seemed to visibly delight in hearing me stumble through that. We were amazed at the change in her demeanor Moral of the story. Be nice. Attempt the language if you can. Dont be American or god forbid, British.😂 (Joke)
