Ask a frenchman

[Chillee]

[ QUOTE ]
Generally speaking, do the French disdain or admire the US?

[/ QUOTE ]

Both, depending on the mattern.

[ QUOTE ]
Same question, but for Germany?

[/ QUOTE ]

None

[ QUOTE ]

Has the French perception of the US changed significantly from the pre-Bush years to the present?


[/ QUOTE ]

It got worse, because French don't like Bush, and because of the whole French bashing stuff.

[ QUOTE ]

I have found French restaurants to be hit or miss. But when good, a restaurant can have amazing food. How can a foreigner determine which restaurants are good in Paris? (American travel books are pretty bad at this.)


[/ QUOTE ]

The best way would be to look on Internet forums speaking about travel and food or even here (i remember i suggested a restaurant to a member here and he seemed to liked it).

If you are looking for really expensive restaurant the reference is the guide Michelin http://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Red-G.../dp/2067122371

Why is service so poor in France

[/ QUOTE ]

I regret it but the 'Customer is king' is not part of our culture. But still there are lot of place where service is great, you have to be lucky/search/heard about the place by friends...
