The French have negative
impressions of the suburbs. Could
this have anything to do with the attitude that to live
outside Paris is not as desireable, fashionable and trendy?
Could it have anything to do with the preconception that
Parisiens are more outgoing, proactive, aggressive?
For Americans, the suburbs represent the 'ideal' American
home -- a nice house with a big lawn, safe streets, good
neighbors and lots of policemen!
