A couple of years ago my wife's sister and husband went on a vacation to Paris. At the time, I said I would never set foot in a country that has such disdain for Americans. I'm sure not all Frenchman feel this way, but obviously a large majority of them do and to them I say, "You're nothing but a bunch of cheese eating, surrender monkeys." I did decide a little bit later that it would be a privilege to visit the sacred shores of Normandy but I'm not sure they have an airport with a customs office so I could fly there directly. :)
During some recession back in teh 70s or early 80s, few Americans traveled abroad. One newspaper ran a notable cartoon showing a boulevard in Paris lined with empty sidewalk cafes, with waiters leaning across the street pugnaciously giving one another the finger. The tagline was, "Without American tourists, the French are forced to insult each other." It's DEFINITELY going to happen again!
