Hi Victoria,

I heard a lot of stereotypes about French people before I came here but I don't think they were very accurate. The common stereotype about the French being arrogant, in my opinion, is very untrue. On countless occasions I have needed to stop French people on the street and ask them for directions or assistance of some case, and each occasion they were very friendly and glad to help. Of course there are arrogant people in France but those people are everywhere in the world, except Ireland of course ;)  For sure, I will bring back the knowledge to Ireland that this stereotype about the French is very untrue especially in the South of France.

Jack.
