Hellooo /trv/
Im moving to France in a couple years, and im an American.
Ive got two questions
A) Do French people REALLY hate Americans as much as we think?

and B) If the answer to A is yes. Do I look European enough to play it off like im natural born French, or at least European? My French is perfect. The only thing that could give it away would be my ID or my appearance.

They only hate you if your French is shitty. If you're as lingual as you claim, you'll do fine.

Anyway, I suppose I already got an answer to my question. Well, I plan on backpacking for a year before settling down in France.
Any tips?

Well, im not about to sit here and go on some bullshit "France is the greatest country in the world" rant or something.
It just happens to be more my speed. Im not into the whole big business consumerism thing. Not that France doest have that. It just seems that life itself comes at a higher priority in France. Plus, im a photographer and engineer, and I can make a decent living doing one/both of those jobs in France.
But,umm,yeah. Moving to Marseille in a couple years. Then Lyon once I get a little older and a decent income.

Definitely. I was actually thinking about just REALLY getting to know France instead of backpacking through the whole continent.
Has anyone here ever been to France? Any experiences/ tips/ advice?

It sounds like you haven't even been there before but you say you are going to live there smells like fail

If that's the case then why the fuck would the Rats go to Europe?

No we don't hate Americans at all. Only the Bush administration.
Also you can easily pass-off as a French given your looks. Anyway being white will automatically net you a positive reaction and because of the Schengen treaty people are used to see foreigners all the time.

That's what you get for staying in Paris. Ultra-high population density+high-incomes makes for misanthropic people.
>>49046
Looks like you know what you're doing. Avoid Paris like the plague it's an oppressive place where people only go because it's easy to get a job there. Marseilles is nice because of the weather, the proximity of the sea and the beautiful countryside. Life is sweet (i'm from Toulon about 50 km from Marseilles). Problem is there is a relatively high crime rate (still extremly low by American standards i guess) and jobs are not as easy to get as in Paris. Also the mindset is very mediterranean which you might dislike (ie : enjoy the good life, hard work is for faggots).
Lyon is a better place to secure a job and has less crime but the weather is not as good. People are more serious. You can easily go skiing in the Alps from here.

The better question is: Why do you care what the french think?

Even the French will think you are a giant homo.

No, the french don't really hate americans, per se, but they don't like american tourists standing out. The French feel free to be nasty to anybody they feel like, and generally you would have to have pissed one off somehow.

Like, just don't be the typical loud American yelling on the train or whatever, people don't want to come home from work and have a bunch of loud forigeners babbling away about how drunk they are.

OP, you look German. Like, 100% German.

Well if find it annoying myself but whatever.
People in the South-east of France (and also Italia) have a reputation for being extrovert, loud mouthed and somewhat lazy. The pace of life is slower than in the North and people tend to allocate more time to leisure over work.
