   That is the impression we are given of French people in France also.  That   
   said, I used to work with someone (RIP) who had visited France and who   
   claimed that this impression is built from interactions with Parisians.   
   They claimed that at least the French who live in the north of France are   
   not nearly as smug when interacting with non-French/barely-French speakers.   
      
   She found them to be quite friendly.
