Well I live in France so it's very complicated. Parisians are not generally liked by the rest of the French because they are known to be offhand. Around the South of France (Cannes, St Trop)they have a lot of money and tend to be very snobbish.I live in the Dordogne which is wine producing and rural and people are generally laid back and a bit 'farmy' and not terribly bright.
France in split into departments all of which have their own colloquial language only know to them. French can be almost a second language some places. Then on the east some places are very German as they are on the border and on the West you have the Basque region and they are fighting for independence. The South has lots of Spanish influence.
So In short it depends where you are in France!

I have to disagree with David about the people in the South of France .I work for 6months of the year very close to St Trop and I find the people mainly friendly ,most of the French that I have met have a good sense of humour .I study the french quite a lot and find that they really are like the English in that they all have their own personalities ,take the supermarket for an example ,there are 2 ladies in there that I will not go to as they are so unpleasant ,there are others that are ok and there are some that gush with friendliness and helpfulness ,exactly the same in Tesco supermarket England.
