Interestingly, I didn't find Parisian's as rude as most people attribute to them (including my family who I traveled there with). I didn't find them warm and fuzzy, but in my experience they were much like New Yorkers...to the point, brusque and not necessarily inclined to go out of their way for anyone but nothing that took me aback.
