We are all raised in a culture and although we are different human beings we are influenced by this surrounding atmosphere.
And cultures are different among  countries. Politeness codes, privacy attitude, discussion topics are different. Judging others from your  personal culture can bring some misunderstanding, some disappointment, some culture shock.
French people, especially Parisians suffer sometimes  from a reputation of not being welcoming.
Well , if I help you cutting the “red tape” you will see that they can be really kind and helpful and you’ll feel very comfortable and leave your prejudice behind.
