I have traveled to France several times, a least 3 in the past three years and fine the French, wonderful, helpful, friendly and polite. There have been one or two rude people, but I fine a lot more than that on a daily basis in my job. They do not stink. I’m so happy to be going back again this year.

We went to Greece for the antiquities and said we’d return for the people. We didn’t think anybody could surpass the Greeks for their hospitality and generosity, but the French beat them! They were wonderful to us, went out of their way to help us, loved practicing their English on us while we practiced our French on them, and made it a most memorable trip!! We can’t wait to go back!!!
