I'm French and I think it's a little bit weird how Spanish people think French people look down on them because we actually really love them as well as their culture. And I think I can confindently say that most of French people do not see themselves better that Spanish people or think that our country is better. Both countries are just so different in my opinion and they just have their own charms, they're not really comparable I think. Anyway love from France ❤

I am French and nobody in France would ever say "oh I don't like the Spaniards" it would almost sound ridiculous. French people have a very high view of Spain and Spanish people, maybe beside its economy and its government but those things are irrelevant when it comes to assessing one's relationship to a foreign country.

I'm from Irun, a Spanish bordering city with France and I know well the French. Maybe because when you cross a river things don't change drastically, but South-Western French people are some of the warmest you will find in the world and share the Spanish "la familia lo es todo" way of life. If I had to tell a difference I'd mention the hours of meals from one side. From the other side, the humour and jokes change drastically. On the Spanish side sarcasm is the most popular resource to make someone laugh and Spanish humour can arrive to be very-very dark. On the French side humour tends to be Ironic and a little dark.

La importancia de estos antagonismos históricos en el desarrollo de la Leyenda Negra es indudable, y por ello, sólo necesita un ligero comentario. Las intensas rivalidades y enfrentamientos militares hispano-franceses durante la primera mitad del siglo XVI y posteriores, convirtió a Francia en un centro natural de actividades antiespañolas. La primera amenaza extranjera digna de mención contra España en el Nuevo Mundo, del tipo de piratería, se lanzó desde los puertos de Bretaña. Más tarde, la literatura de viajes y el liderato francés en la Ilustración del siglo XVIII, tuvieron una enorme importancia en el endurecimiento del desdén general europeo y aun del odio hacia España y los españoles. Desde el siglo XVII hasta nuestros días, la hegemonía cultural francesa en el Continente y en las Américas puso, inter alia, su indiscutible sello de aprobación a los prejuicios antiespañoles."

Strabon y Plinio los llaman gabales, Caesar gabalos. A éstos Belteforestio les denominaba gavachus y nosotros gavachos. Esta tierra debe de ser mísera, porque muchos de estos gavachos se vienen a España y se ocupan de servicios bajos y viles, y se enfrentan cuando los llaman gavachos.

It seems that the South is rather cool with Spain to the point most French people say a city like Toulouse is the most Spanish city of France .

[@TeddyAura]

Viví en España 6 años y en Francia llevo unos ocho. He visto el video y tengo que comentar que los españoles tienen una percepción muy equivocada de los franceses. Es un problema cultural que noto cada vez que estoy en Paris y veo a los turistas españoles. El francés es super educado, si uno traduce palabra por palabra como se comunican sería insoportable para un español. No me imagino a nadie en España diciendo "Buenos días señor, que puedo ofrecerle el día de hoy" (Bonjour monsieur, que puis-je vous offrir aujourd'hui ?) a menos que te vayas a tomar un café en el Ritz. A veces paso verguenza ajena, viendo como los españoles se dirigen a los camareros en un tono que en Francia suena despectivo o humillante y en cambio en España sería completamente normal. Obviamente, si te tratan de humillar, tu te comportas de forma consecuente, lo cual puede ser interpretado como arrogancia. He visto discusiones horribles en cafes y restaurantes, porque los españoles se sienten maltratados cuando en realidad, los franceses reaccionan a una supuesta humillación inicial. Mi recomendación es que si van a Francia, imagínense que están en latinoamérica, sobre todo México. Piensen como los mexicanos se comportan en España y así es que se deben comportar en Francia.

[@tamiglia]

Totalmente de acuerdo.

[@overvault]

No estoy nada de acuerdo con usted, porque esta diciendo que los franceses se lo toman como una humillacion cuando usted mismo admite y sabe que no es la intencion de los españoles "en cambio en España sería completamente normal". Es decir, es solo un mal entendido entre ambas partes, por lo que los españoles no estan tratando mal a nadie y no tiene sentido que sienta verguenza ajena por algo que no esta hecho con mala intencion por parte de los mismos.

[@TeddyAura]

@@overvault No veo porque dice que no está de acuerdo conmigo. Lo primero que digo es que es un problema cultural. Los franceses no son conscientes que los españoles actúan de esa manera. Si lee lo que escribí es obvio que estoy de acuerdo con usted de que es un mal entendido. Pero aún así siento mucha vergüenza ajena.

Como ves Francia sigue aprovechando que su territorio es la única conexión terrestre con el resto de Europa para España para enriquecerse ella misma y reprimir a su vecina España, además de esto hay una minoría de franceses que miran por encima a los españoles, yo que vivo cerca de la frontera, puedo decirte que realmente se nota un desprecio y una actitud de superioridad que da bastante asco, sin embargo es una minoría, pero ya sabes como somos los humanos, nos fijamos siempre en lo malo y al final acaba siendo un prejuicio, aunque también puedo decir que no somos el único país de Europa que piensa a modo general que los franceses tienen una actitud arrogante.
