This article showed me that the French do not only hate us because of how we act as tourists but how we act as a whole community. Before I researched this topic I thought that the hatred Frenchmen had against Americans was because we were ignorant of their language, but this showed me that there are other reasons as well. This was a good article to read before the Meunier article because it gave a small background of what I was about to go in depth of. It did not give a lot of detail but it did give a general idea of what was going on between the French and the Americans.
