Correct, having been there myself, I never found any odor/hygiene problems with the French, contrary to popular belief. From my experience, it's the Spainiards who need to learn to bathe now and then. Nor were the French anti-American, as I had heard, but don't like being dictated to by the U.S. They treated us as we treated them, but many American (and German) tourists are loud and obnoxious, and think they are in Disneyland, not someone else's country. Then they wonder why the Europeans dont "like Americans".

Yes the German tourists of WWII were especially rude.
