Although people are usually friendlier in small cities than in capitals like Paris. People are basically the same everywhere.&nbsp;<strong>If you smile, they will smile back.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong> French people are lazy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>French are notoriously known for being the laziest people on earth. Probably because of their love for strikes. However, according to&nbsp;The Economist, Canadians go on strike much more often than French people and anyone else in the world actually.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, are you telling me that French people are not lazy? No, absolutely not. With an average of &nbsp;1,453 hours of work per year, France is one of the country where people work the least amount of hours. Yet, they still work more than Germans&nbsp;(1337) for example.<\/p>\n<p>One more proof than clich\u00e9s can be totally wrong.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong> French people never speak English<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-8431\" src=\"http:\/\/www.frenchcourses-paris.com\/images\/2016\/02\/Cliche\u0301s-about-the-French-2-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"French stereotypes \" width=\"272\" height=\"152\"><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The impossibility to <strong>speak English in France <\/strong>often worries visitors.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s true that some French people are reluctant to <strong>speak another language<\/strong> than French, you most likely won\u2019t have any problem finding&nbsp;English-speaking people in touristic areas.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t, you can always try to pronounce English words with a <strong>French accent<\/strong>. This works surprisingly well.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned before, it\u2019s always better to start the conversation by <strong>speaking some&nbsp;beginner French<\/strong> as people are much more likely to try to speak English if they see you try to speak their language.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to the popular belief,&nbsp;French people don\u2019t refuse to speak English because they dislike Americans, but because&nbsp;speaking a language they don\u2019t necessarily speak well terrifies them.<\/p>\n<p>When you are looking for English-speaking people to help you, young people and businessmen are usually a good option as they tend to <strong>speak English<\/strong> better than older people.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong> French people&nbsp;dislike&nbsp;Americans&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>French people generally don\u2019t have anything against Americans.
