I think this is why I’m hesitant to travel there, i can’t handle snobs.
The Fr*nch hate Parisians too.
They aren't real snobs because they don't look down on you, it is in most cases not about you personally. They just think their culture is superior which sounds very arrogant but below that is just plain old narcasism. Also historically they're are from 'the cultured part of europe' and had to deal with the basic lowlife from England (have you eaten their food?), the Dutch (have you seen their clothes?) and the Germans (have you seen what their homes). It's like how the Romans looked at the Germanic tribes they just like superficial stuff like pretty food on pretty tables wearing pretty dresses. There are plenty of places people will treat you much worse and above all this is just a stereotype which is true on the one hand but there are a lot of different people living in France just like in any other country. Also they have crêpes.
Ah crêpes, the cheap version of Blinis. /j
Sure they don't look down on you, they just think they are superior...
Get the fuck outa here
If you're gonna reply at least the whole comment dude
It's hard to describe but it's not snobbery. The French are just themselves and I honestly love them for it. I'd heartily recommend a visit.
I was there one time for work and decided I'd have a steak. Well I know they cook steak rarer than elsewhere so hoping for medium I ordered well done.
Terrible mistake. I got what was basically a lump of raw meat that should have had "get fucked" stamped on it and I felt like I brought it on myself.
