What do you think about French people? Are they really arrogant?

ah, I forget... I am french! ;-)

answer to yiddish: No of course!

Listen dude!!!

French citizens have always been close friends with the USA!!!

Just ask Ben Franklin and more.

Yes, France and America sometimes disagree. But that is because we agree to disagree without animosity toward each other.

France and America have many things in common as well as a rich historical tradition.

My favorite philosopher is Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

The French make,

The best bread
The best pastries
The best wine
The best cheese

and so much more.

Layafette once said, "Humanity has won its battle.
Liberty now has a country."

Citizens of France and citizens of America have shared
a common cause or purpose for a very long time!

Have fun but be safe.

What do you think about American people? Are they really fat?

not at all my friend just got back from france and said they were very polite the ones that werent were the japanese or chinese i for got but the french hate them they think there rude

French people are wonderful people, I believe there is arrogance in all nationalities. Thanks for asking.

No, I don't think "arrogant" describes the French. That is hill-billy mentality. People who bad-mouth other nationalities are the same people who think that English is the only real language in the world, and anyone who is not just like them is to be made fun of. Personally, I think it is much like racism, although it may be better called foreign-phobia or just plain ignorance in regard to other cultures and languages.

No more arrogant than any culture with a rich history. From my visits, I believe the French take living very seriously. Things that Americans, Canadians and Brits take not so seriously, French take very seriously... like eating, drinking, anything revolving around food and beverages.

By the same token, Americans take their sports very seriously. Some French may find this amusing by the same token.

It all boils down to perspective and the experiences we have that shape our behavior and outlook, don't you think?

I do believe that there are residual attitudes from the Colonial days that have not left the French psyche and it's reflected in their politics on the world scene. No one wants to lose relevance so they compensate with their behaviour and expressions in order to be heard and recognized. That to me is not arrogant.

Salut! Where are you from?
I'm English and have lived in France for two and a half years. You're no more arrogant than we are. The problem is that France has a very particular culture that is often hard for outsiders to understand. The priorites are different and the social etiquettes are different. Unfortunately, I do think that France needs to stop relying on old reputations, because in many areas where they were once world leaders (wine, cooking...) they are being left behind.

all i know is that they eat snails

The French are tho most Arrogant people on Planet Earth, not to mention the most cowardly
