I live in France and they are no where near as rude as the stereotypes

Think it's mostly a Parisian thing. Even the French from other regions hate the Parisians.

I think Paris has changed a lot. Never experienced rudeness there and I don't speak any French. French folks I know have also commented on this, something like the younger generation speaks much more English and is more worldly and friendly than previous generations.
