As a French person who's bilingual in English, it's really interesting to discover this point of view. Paris is a little bit idealized (empty streets, no defeaning noises), but a lot of other things are accurate (climbing stairs to your apartment, mean people at work, people not trying to speak English). Well of course not all French people are like this, I'm part of them as I've always loved meeting foreigners, talking to them and helping them when they couldn't understand and all. The first thing when coming in the city is to try to meet people through groups or social media, that's the best way to find support if you're alone and need someone who speaks English. However, as a tourist I've also met people who weren't nice in other countries (San Francisco, London) and I love those cities. I don't know why we especially see that for Paris, that's totally something we should see for other countries or cities.
