That is the impression we are given of French people in France also.  That
said, I used to work with someone (RIP) who had visited France and who
claimed that this impression is built from interactions with Parisians.
They claimed that at least the French who live in the north of France are
not nearly as smug when interacting with non-French/barely-French speakers.

She found them to be quite friendly.
