Hasn’t been my experience. I always heard they were rude and didn’t try to do anything for non french speakers. It seemed the opposite to me.
That wasn't my experience either. I was there six months ago, and the Parisians I met and spoke to in my very imperfect French couldn't have been more friendly, patient, and polite. This was in both the tourist and very non-tourist areas, and included strangers who offered me help when I had trouble with my Metro pass.
