It is more about Parisians than the French and sometimes she acknowledges this, but it was irritating at times. Think about it, someone goes to New York (or perhaps LA) and says ‘now I know what Americans are like', sigh no.
I did find her discourse on the school system very interesting.
Also, when I went to a supermarket in Paris I experienced zero issues, is it a difference of twenty plus years, or did I just not go during peak hours?
Oh and her ‘interviews' are just short conversations with her husband, not in-depth and often come off as childish.
It is more memoir, or from her point of view, rather than an overview of what France, or even just Paris, is like.
