It's easy to spot an American (like me) in Paris. It's not just what we wear, but it's how we carry ourselves, even our facial expressions. We look people in the eyes, we smile, we don't give a damn (just like the French, lol) but there is a difference. And I'm not so sure that it was NECESSARILY NICE that they were saying that to you, know what I mean? It all depends. A lot of them think we're rolling in dough when most of us have scrimped and saved to visit that fabulous city.

Did you wear a T-shirt that said "Say hello, I'm an American"?

I experienced the same thing. I think they are trying to live down the old "label" they had of being stuffy and snoody.

It's the younger generations that have changed that image.

I love it. it makes going to France fun and exciting!

I want to go back.

was it a dream? how can someone know that you're american just by seeing you walk down the streets? french people are not so nice, ok they're not as rude as everybody says but they're not the nicest people I've met, you need to win them by speaking some french
