Wow this is a simple to understand, interesting guide about the french, their culture and social interaction. I loved it!
I think one of the best ways to avoid rudeness in france is to take no notice of it or not be constantly expecting to be treated rudely.
I think in our society (australia), we smile to much unneccessarily, especially in retail roles. Just because a customer walks into a shop we have been trained to put on a large fake smile in attempts to make them feel welcome and come off as polite.
either way this guide should aid many in their venture to Paris :)
Thanks
