Since we just had the friendliest, let’s look at the opposite. Not exactly the one with the rudest locals but the unfriendliest, be it scams, pickpockets, aggressive touts, unfriendly environment, or bad service.

      As someone who’s lived there for six years (albeit mostly homeless); yes.

      Even if you’re trying to speak French, you’ll get treated like you’re speaking Swahili or something.

        And asking them to speak English is like an indecent proposal, I guess they’d react more favourably if you asked for a public blowjob

          Just say ‘excusez moi?’ it’s like a magic word to make them suddenly and eagerly speak English.

          They won’t do it otherwise, but if you threaten to pollute their language with your barbaric pronunciation they’ll gladly jump on that grenade.
