These things are probably all relative. I know some non-Parisian French people who think that Parisians are so far up their own culs they can see the Eiffel Tower from above. However, as a Londoner who sometimes has to struggle to get through the tourist crowds, I can certainly sympathise if a Parisian is occasionally, er, more assertive shall we say than the tourist is used to. Especially when faced with crowds of Italian schoolkids blocking a doorway or standing fifteen deep right at the foot of a crowded escalator... Nevertheless, even if Londoners are occasionally a little terse with their guests, please be assured that you are all honoured and very welcome. I'm sure the Parisians (and indeed New Yorkers) feel the same way, and my own experiences of Parisians have been generally positive.
