Was there about two years ago and there were SOME people that were nice, but visiting the Louvre, we were treated like cattle as we lined up to go in. Then went to the Louvre gift shop and I asked the lady behind the counter VERY NICELY for a particular poster. She spoke ZERO english and walked away. The kid and his Mom standing next to me (they were from Texas) leaned over and told me that the lady just spoke fluent english to a previous customer. This was just the tip of the iceberg amd no I wasn't an obnoxious American tourist. All this after we took a cab from the train station and then were in a gridlock due to the Union parade that was going through the streets. We paid the cabby and made out way, rather FOUGHT our way THROUGH the Union parade with suit cases and finally made it to the Hotel. I guess we got started on the wrong foot by visiting while all this garbage was going on.
