The biggest problem with France, is that it's full of French people. At least that's what a French study has determined.

The French are arrogant, rude and surly to foreign visitors, said a leading French politician behind a scathing report on how the Gallic welcome leaves much to be desired.

Bernard Plasait, a member of France's upper house of parliament, has concluded what millions of visitors have known for years. [...]

The French government particularly was alarmed by the 21 percent, or $6 billion, drop in spending by visitors from the United States.

The report did conclude with 81 proposals on how the French can become "motivated and enthusiastic" about foreign tourists. But forgive me for having doubts that the French attitude will change little.
