What does your average Frenchmen think of Russian migrants in France? How are they perceived by the French? What sterotypes do the Russians have? I have noticed there are now many Russian migrants in Paris. Also, I would say that the greatest amount of tourists in Paris are both the Russians and Spanish.
Where ever I go in Paris, I always hear and see Russians. When in Paris, every French citizen just assumes I am Russian. Even before I open my mouth. They try to say something in Russian to get my attention.
Yes, I do look Russian. I am Russian by blood. Although I was born and raised in Estonia many Estonians are of Russian decent. I am going to Paris soon, so I guess would be able to answer your questions after spending a week there.
Since I do not speak French, I am glad that I might hear any Russian there, just do not want to get lost there. Yes, Russian tourists are everywhere in Paris.
This is before I even open my mouth. You will spot the Russians a mile a way! The Russians really do stand out. From a distance you will spot a Russian by the clothing. It is really very funny, how much Russians stand out!!
