"They pretend to not speak English until you turn your back" - I can confirm this! Even more: They pretend to not speak ANY language but French. This is what I found in several places in France. There were also exceptions from this attitude. They seemed so untypical to me after what I had experienced that I almost did not believe it... But even people who speak French fluently told me that a non-French accent is enough to create a cold atmosphere.
Is it normal to dislike France and make fun of the french?
