french don't hate americans, and most people working in hotel / restaurants love americans cause they give the biggest tips
sure if you don't have enough money to pay a little tip they won't like you much, money make the world run
also, i heard a lot of you talking about paris, right, it s our biggest town, but not the best imo, too much crowed, nice to see our monuments and museums but south of france, like nice or cannes are the best places, with hot girls (you won't find them in bikini in paris, while in south of france, there are many topless girls)
you should also visit our "naturist" beaches, there are a lot, cause france is the #1 country for that, imo that could interest some of you :P
