I read the OP and I see a topic and a discussion of how tourists from differing nationalities are perceived by their host nationalities.

Part of what you see are the comments of people who are employed in the service of the French tourists who they are complaining about. French tourists who enjoy much more vacation time and benefits than the people working to serve them, who are the judges of their behavior, as far as the "findings" in the article are concerned.....
Not exactly impartial opinions of the conduct and attitude of the French tourists, at least from the way the information gathering included in the OP was obtained.
How is it that people of a country who are described and predicted to act so offensively when they travel, are the same people who vacation at home 85 percent of the time they are vacationing, are afforded ten percent of the entire calendar year as vacation days, and mostly vacation right alongside the huge influx of foreign tourists to their country? If the French are so objectionable, why is the rest of the world coming to their country in record numbers, to vacation alongside the natives of France?
