In France, You must to be “grande gueule”, which means “big mouth”, or “the one who shout”
If you are such a person, you will be respected. So they respect persons that when you hear them talking you think they shout
If you talk with a monotonous voice, they will see you as a weak person, and remember when a predator find a weak prey, it's very bad news for it.
Hey English people in France you must to change your customs, Sorry for that news.
There is another tone to use like “Parisians bourgeois” do.
This tone uses 'e' sounds like 'oe' in the end of words, and those parisians are called “titis Parisiens”,
I perceive such a person as someone without any conviction, very spoiled, boring, someone you can't trust.
But surprisingly most of Parisians like thoses persons, oh my god.

Hm. I am myself French but have lived in Ireland for the past 12 years and believe the change of culture and language was quite a shock to the system as well. Have you ever heard of Stephen Clarke. He wrote a few books on the subject and are quite hilarious. Titles such as "One year in the merde" and "Merde actually".
Yes i have read his book, i find that some of his assumptions are true.
But all French are not the same, especially those not from Paris, they are so much better.
But the fact that people live in a big city makes them more aggressive perhaps.
