Not the original commenter, but I've heard that may just be a Paris thing which I think you're hinting at. I've personally been to Paris and had the expected negative experience, but in my singular visit to Montreal (not actually France), the people I talked to were very open to people trying to speak French. Heard that the Montreal experience is closer to the norm and Paris just kind of sucks.
