Why? French is one of the best sounding languages

Is it? I think Italy is not France
Haters gonna hate!
I’d get an attitude with all those tourists too
I think you need to get out more. Not been my experience
I think people hate on them in an ironic way. It’s like a meme at this point.
French people have a stereotype of being kinda pretentious/ostentatious which makes them an easier target to jokingly pick on. It’s nothing deep, just meme culture. The same way people joke about Ohio, or British people
You can’t hate people you haven’t met
Parisians can be mean, even to each other. But if you get out of Paris, the people are nicer. So remember that there is a lot more to France than Paris. And the food is excellent too.
Where are you from? You’ll find most people in your online universe are in the same bubble. Ie: English speaking. Tourists visit from all over the world and there’s a lot more of them that don’t speak English as a first language.
Great PR.
There is actually a documented psychosocial reacton syndrome to tourists arriving in france thinking its going to be a cultural paradise and its such a dump
People on the internet hate everything mate
A big part of the reason the France gets so many tourists is because it is central to several other countries that have very high rates of tourism as well including Spain, Germany, Italy, and The United Kingdom.
The people screaming loudest about hating it are a small minority. And it goes without saying they’ve never been to France.
I hate France because you are so full of yourself. But it’s also a big country with nice places, so when you want to go on holiday there’s cognitive dissonance. You temporarily forget: Oh wait, this is the place with the French people.
It is popular to make fun of the French, its because of how our media portrays them (pepe le pew) and they talk funny and they did surrunder alot and act fruity. Every woman thinks Paris is the most romantic destination and guys like to get laid.
That being said I am okay with the French, they did help us fight against the British AND out of all the colonist they treated the indigenous people the most fairly.
Their food is overrated tho. Not even the best in Europe…I gotta go with Italy on that.
The French have a reputation for having a attitude of being extremely dismissive and disrespectful anything not French especially thier language. Mispronounce something? They will get furious and call you dumb, correct their pronunciation outside of French, they will also get furious and call you xenophobic
I loved Paris. I didn’t expect much, for my personal reasons, but in the end I loved it a lot. Beautiful city, nice people
Same reason New York is such an amazing place but god forbid you step foot there
Internet ≠ real world
Wine + baguettes
Love Paris. Parisians are dicks. LOVE France. The French often agree Parisians are dicks.
Got to visit the circus to see the clowns
The British have a lot more to dislike about them than the French! Although I’ll admit that I’ve only lived in the UK and not in France, as a foreigner 😂
Do you know French people?
I not a fan of France but it’s like a roundabout for Europe as I’ve driven round Europe a few times but wherever your going your going through France
All people want is a selfie under the eiffel tower , or in front of the Mona Lisa, then go find some restaurants selling american food.
The internet does not represent real life.
I don’t know maybe all the wars in the past because last time I went to Paris everybody was super nice,polite and helpful.
