I've just found this forum, and i've seen that there were not a lot of members wishing to talk about France and the USA, so I will add a comment hoping other answers will follow.
I am french (sorry if I make big mistakes when writting !) I am a 24 year old guy, I live in the centre of France, and I never went in the USA, but I think that there are a lot of cultural differences between the USA and France.
But I feel really interested in knowing what american people think about french (if some of you could give me answers it would be great !)
As french people are concern, they like american citizens, and I think that the american dream is still a reality, since a lot of students dream to go in the USA to improve their English of course, but also because the american culture attracts them for various reasons : it seems easier to find a job in the USA, people appear more open minded, more exentric... but exentricity (and even craziness french people often say "ils sont fous ces américains !" meaning "How crazy are these american people !" but in a friendly way) is sometimes percieved like a defect( I'm not sure about the word ) because we often hear that some americain do crazy things with their dogs for example ( they treat them like babies, or human beings), but we also often hear that americans are ready to sue somebody for anything and many other things that may let us think that americans are somewhat crazy. This may concern everyday life americans (that french people generally like), but it is quite different concernig politicians (as for example, french people did not really understand how americans could have re-elected their actual president !)
Furthermore, french people think that american politicians feel superior to the rest of the world, and then that they could do whatever they want, and it is something that french really think, and thus it make them dislike the american system which would like to control the world. And it even appears that american politicians and even citizens really don't like french people, culture and products (such as "foi gras", cheeses...)...
Here are some examples of what people think about the USA in France, if you want more informations please do not hesitate in asking me.
I would like now to know what american citizens think about french people.
And I am also wondering about what famous french actors or singers, or films.... do americans know, since in France there are a lot of american films, series, and singers that are known and liked.
If you could give me some answers it would be great, and I would give you more informations about what french people think about americans, and you could do the same with what americans think about french people, I really think that it could be interesting.
I am waiting impatiently for your answers !
Have a nice day (or night, I don't know what time it is in the USA know )
