Yes they helped us during the revolution, but only because it hurt England. Even so they have been well repaid by us kicking the Germans out of France twice. Since then the French have not really been allies. When we decided to slap Gadaffi down a little they refused to let us use French airspace so out pilots had to fly a 1500 mile rout.
The few times I have had to deal with a French made piece of equipment waiting 4 hours for a return phone call was not unusual. The French being rude to American tourists is legendary. Johnny Depp lives in France and has a French wife and his comments about the US after 9/11 are the reason I refuse to watch any movie that he is involved with. Even the Canadians hate the French Canadians.
