its no different. Its the french attitude, way of being. A french will not be aware of it since it is part of his identity. Indeed, paris is harsher like any major city. However the french are bad and blasé wherever you go and not just paris (based on my experience, a none french person from a warm culture, lived in 5 different cities in france for long periods). Tldr: you can’t take a french’s perspective about some subtle parts of their culture only foreigns can dissect
