   Yes, there seems to be a lot of arrogance built into Paris where other   
   areas may be more interested in tourist dollars than that. Plus it's   
   likely worse for Americans than Canadians or others since the French   
   took a lot of grief over things that went on in WW2 which I think the   
   Americans harped on about more than most, and longer.
