  1. French people are rude
  2. Frenchmen are the most romantic people in the world

French people are stereotyped to be rude because there language sounds aggressive.

Ah, l’amour! The French have a reputation for being romantic and seductive. In surveys of the most romantic languages, French is often among the top results.

The first stereotype is that French people are posh. When a foreigner talks to them, they treat him like they're superior.

They are especially rude with Italians (I know that because I directly experienced it) in the southern France's regions, maybe for historical reasons; not too long ago those regions were under Italian domain.

Another typical stereotype is that they always eat baguettes. I think that's a little bit silly, but where I live is common saying to a French "Sorry, I don't speak baguette".

Lastly, they are very proud of their language, so they hate speaking foreign languages and in general - that's more a fact than a stereotype, they tend to refuse words of foreign derivation (like computer, that is pretty much "computer" or a similar word in the majority of languages, but in French is "ordinateur") and to change them drastically.
