The UA still exists - and when we travel, we try hard to distance ourselves from that stereotype. We have found over the years that a bit of courtesy, a dash of politeness, and a few words of the language go a long way toward getting along. We also have found, in more than 25 trips to Europe, that dressing in a respectful manner helps - things like dressing modestly when visiting places of worship, for instance, and looking like you belong in the nice restaurant where you wish to eat. But we've also found that no matter what we do, the French are still the French.
