As for me, I liked France very much, not only Paris, but also (and even more) Normandy, its peaceful beautiful towns and villages. As far as the French are concerned, they didn't produce bad impression on me, moreover I met one very charming young man there. Unfortunately, I had to leave the next morning... :-(
maybe it's just a subjective opinion, I just enjoyed the possibility of speaking French (I am enchanted by this language and if not for the forum policy, I would have written it, and much more, in French... :-)
By the way, if there are native French users here, could you advise me an interesting forum where I could communicate in French?
