In France, younger people are as happy to speak English as the Dutch and Scandinavians are, but over a certain age (somewhere over 60, possibly varying by region), they would express umbrage at you coming to their country without being able to bloody well parle français. Some of them drive taxis for a living.
I had very bad experiences with younger french people too. Like they are appalled by foreigners trying to speak french. I will just speak English to them in the future. I am German I learned it, they can learn it too.
