The problem with people who visit france is that they go to Paris and think this is a representation of the french population.

It's not that we french people hate americans. I mean, I think americans love themselves so much they don't really need any other country to give them any love.

She looks like a hot necromancer queen or gothic angel

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'm American and I've spent a lot of time in France. The French have been nothing but nice to me.

[valardohaeris]

She seems so real, genuine and humble. Plus, she is a fantastic actress too.

*A rare combination*

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 found once I left Paris and went to other parts of France, the interactions with French people were a lot friendlier. I guess Paris is like New York as far as how it reacts to tourists.

[neerdowell]

When I traveled to Paris and Versailles, all of the French people I spoke with were as nice as could be and very gracious. They were very patient about misunderstandings and quite courteous in general.

[josephmartin]

I've had the pleasure of visiting France and thought the people were very friendly. It's all about your ability to recognize cultural differences and not think people are rude just because their ways of interacting with people are different from your own. As an American, I've only had good impressions of the French.

Eva Green was absolutely fabulous in the original Penny Dreadful Series.

[klaudiokwan]

She should be Yennefer for the upcoming witcher tv show

[glowjacat]

I have been to France and honestly if I had the money, I would go again and again and again. They are the nicest people I have ever met. I speak very little French so there was a bit of a language barrier but I am telling you. I always found a way to communicate or get my point across. It was the best month I could have ever spent there in Paris.

Eva is one of the most beautiful people in my opinion. Her features are so unique and striking, I loved her in Penny Dreadful. I'm a big fan

J’étais à Paris la semaine dernière TOUT LE MONDE étais gentil avec moi. I like the fact that people were not walking around with a fake smile on their faces. Instead, they were genuine. You can’t go to another country and just expect them to know your language. Just make an effort. We Americans always want the world to cater to us when most only speak English.

[marchebert]

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.

[loridelia]

I just returned from Paris. Absolutely adored everything about Paris, the people were amazing ! I spoke French. I did notice British and even German people speaking English without attempting French. I think the French people are actually very tolerant and classy towards tourists. New Yorkers wouldn’t tolerate the same treatment. Merci beaucoup! ❤️🇺🇸🇫🇷

[casssmith]

I was stationed over in Germany a couple of times and got to visit other countries while there. Lets just call it US American arrogance. We will say "When you come to my country you speak English. When I come to your country you will speak English." The French are like us. You come to their country they expect you to speak their language. Plain and simple. When I was stationed in Germany I took Deutsch 101 and when stationed in Korea I took Hangul 101. I felt that it was necessary to at least learn enough that I could leave the post and be able to read signs, ask for directions, take public transports, and order food.

[lividea]

Lmao when he's like "We're fat, we're walking around in cargo pants asking for a Coke Zero at the Louvre" 😂

[joep]

I've never heard her real voice. Her accent, in Casino Royale, was perfect Julie Andrews, stiff-upper-lip British. I thought that's how she spoke, in real life! Eva's amazing.
