I've also heard if you do not know how to speak wee-wee you get a lot of nasty looks. Same for those who do not speak it well. I've had some people I've known who had went over there, and told me of their experience.
While I would like to travel parts of Europe, I've never thought of France. Sounds like you are loving it though.

90% of my life is business. The other 10% is being involved in things like human rights activities. France is really bad for the former and great for the latter. So when it comes to financial matters, I can sound damn jadeded and intolerant.
But still every culture is made up of both good and bad things. Currently in our world if we point out the bad parts of a society/culture/nation/etc We get called racist or prejudice.
Which is just plain wrong to do. Acknowledging what is wrong is a good thing. The world wouldn't be so fucked up if we did that more often.
I am a Métise. (Mi'kmaq Indienne and Québecoise) I come from the Gaspésie region of Quebec and my first language is french.
Soooo I will call a spade.... A spade.
1) France is a very intolerant society toward ALL foriegners
2) Frenchmen see what they want and acknowledge only what they want to see.
3)No matter how fluent you are in French. You will never speak it well enough for a Frenchmen.
The last one is the hardest for both my husband and I. He is both a Newfoundlander and Acadien, and I grew up near Paspébiac in the Gaspesie.
I get made fun of for my accent constantly. To the point I want to hit someone. The point, sneer and snicker thing gets old real fast!
On the other hand, husband is always being treated like dirt. Half of the time a person does NOT even try and listen to him. And again, like me, his first language is French.
I don't know why he likes it here because if he isn't in a tourist area... Let's just say people at McDonalds try to ignore him when it comes time to take his order.
But...
I guess the Louvre is pretty cool.
Summer here is really nice.
And it is pretty fucking awsome that we can sail on our boat right into Paris.
France is a really great place if you are an artist. And he is a writter that is busy making his "artistic visionairy" films.
Whereas,
I like beer and vodka and couldn't give a shit about wine.
I prefer to hunt bear and think goose liver pâte sucks.
And do NOT give a rat's ass about having more than 240 different kinds of cheese or what you can make with a truffle.
Baby, my heart beats to the capitalist drum.
Oh well as for the model...
I told her to fuck off! Now she tried pulling that will only fuck her boyfriend crap. And get this... the boyfriend is in his mid 50s.
Putting her in a video with an 18 year old boy and having him pretend he is fucking his grandmother. O.K! I'll do it.
But I'm not filming "The Nursing Home Frolic."
