English people are in my humble opinion more rude and arrogant than most other nations, we expect other countries to automatically speak english when we are the ones visiting their country, we shove and push when queing( only the germans exceed us in this annoying trait). The most annoying thing about paris was the illegal immigrants selling dodgy eiffel towers, i found the most eefective way to get them off your back was to speak in german to them ,as most africans dont speak german they tend to give up.As for the eiffel tower, its awesome, surreal just standing there infront of it, and the construction was something to aspire to, nearly all construction projects today are late and over budget, this on the other hand was an exception to the rule!
