Time.com just put out a list of the most obnoxious tourists in Europe and then in the world. Who takes top billing? The French do! I have to say, I’m kind of surprised by this. Not because I feel like I must defend all things French, all the time, but because I have seen French tourists during my travels in the U.S., Canada and Europe, and I have never thought “obnoxious”. The survey went to hotel workers, so I assume they have a perspective I do not. But I would say the French tourists I have encountered tend to be on the more discreet side. I better not get a job in a hotel, my impressions may be blown!
