Paris, fourth rudest city in France according to a ranking
Paris, the fourth city in France where people are the rudest? In any case, these are the results displayed by the language course platform Preply, which conducted the survey. According to a questionnaire sent to 1,500 residents in the 15 largest cities in France, the capital is among the rudest cities, behind Lyon, Marseille and Nice.

Could there be some truth to the cliché of the grumpy Parisian? The capital would not be the champion of incivility, this place going to Lyon.
Toulouse, Strasbourg and Rennes, on the other hand, are the most polite cities.
While the French have a reputation for being rude in foreign countries, the survey nevertheless seems to support the commonplace, since 68% of those questioned agree with this statement.
At the top of typically French rudeness: swearing. Other behaviors frequently cited as rude include being absorbed in one’s phone in public, not picking up dog poop, being noisy in public, or getting on a train before letting passengers off.
