Some reasons

• Hello,
  I'm a french guy from Bretagne, France.
  I think that we haven't the same meaning of the rudeness. As sayed before, French people aren't ruder than any other people around the world. By the way, saying that french are rude is a stereotype as those we use for american (idiots, obeses) or italian (liers, thiefs).
  Nevertheless, some facts which explain this stereotypes :
  - French People, especially the olders, don't speak well english. They might don't speak with english speakers.
  - A number of workers, such as bus drivers, waiters, policemen, are quite rudes, especially in big city (Paris), even with french.
  - It's true that we give importance to such words : Bonjour (Hello), S'il vous plait (Please), Merci (Thank), Au revoir(Good Bye).
  _ Lot's of French people are racists. It's very sad. Very Shameful. But it's true.
  
  Hope that'll help.
