Seriously, go to Belgium...the Ostend/Bruges area looks as nice as France and they are nice and go out of their way to speak English to you.
It's not all the French, it's just the Parisians who do that. Extremely rude. I found the trick though...I address them in a language they've never heard, Zulu for instance. It's amazing how quickly they try english then
