Worst, stupidest or just right down wrong French stereotypes you've heard of?

If you want to know the one I've heard from my friend, just ask. Though it'll not be the best thing you'll hear and it's not nice!

I don't like them either. I don't like eating snails either. But being French is madami than just liking this or that kind of food.

Well, America has experienced some steriotypes too such as we are greedy and selfish, alot of which comes from western Europe. When I went to St. Bartz two years nakaraan we experienced some predjudiced because we are American from the french people. Don't get me wrong I have met very very very nice french people its just that some can be a little bit stand-offish to Americans.

I live in France since 2006, but I'm not french. And before, when I lived in Holland. This were the stereotypes : Big Nose, Fat and short. And it's a little bit true. Not all french people is soo but a lot are very short.

Well, I've heard many people say the French don't wash themselves and smell bad... which is not true.

I live in Quebec, Canada and I've noticed many people say French are annoying ("chiant") and complicated compared to us. Many people say that but don't seriously think so, they just like to joke about it. But I've also noticed many people being serious about it unfortunately.

I've been to France once and all I can say is that none of these two stereotypes were true: the French are very nice and warm people! And they're clean xD!

All French people are rude. Au contraire. When you make the effort to speak the language and know something about their culture, they are very polite. If you behave like a jackass, certainly they have reason to be rude in return. I had wonderful experiences in France.
