The latest study by Preply shows that Marseille residents are among the most unpleasant people in France. We're included, so no escaping that one! 

With 15% of respondents, Marseille ranks 2nd among cities with the most unpleasant residents in France! But why? It's clear that if you hit the road in Marseille, you better cover your ears because some colorful language is bound to fly around... The city and its people are known for their unbeatable frankness, with a little tendency to poke fun at tourists from up north... oops! It must be said, a Marseillais is a bit of a grumbler, in a rush when driving, attached to their neighborhood habits, and watch out if a Parisian shows up, things can heat up quickly. 

By the way, far ahead...With 50% of the respondents, Paris is considered the city where people are the most unfriendly. The reputation of Parisians, often seen as rushed, arrogant, and less welcoming, seems to persist (oops). On the other hand, Lille stands out for the friendliness of its inhabitants, earning 15% of the votes. Known for its warmth and welcoming spirit, Lille is a city where life is wonderful thanks to the kindness of its residents.
