I think that's a very common prejudice. The french are said to be snobs to basically everyone. However, I don't really think that's true. I guess that they only appear to be snobby, because they insist in speaking french and everyone who doesn't speak french fluently and/or makes mistakes while trying to speak french is many times rewarded with a very cross look... ;)
They're just proud of their language and they're quite strange in my opinion when it comes to keeping the french language as it is... ;)

the French are snobs to everyone not just Americans it is because they are French they are known for it, the best way to deal with them is to ignore them completely

YES, I CAN SPEAK FRENCH FAIRLY WELL. AND MOST OF THE FRENCH PEOPLE I HAVE MET ARE VERY NICE. I ENJOY TALKING TO THEM, AND LEARNING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES OF HERE AND FRANCE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OF THEM DONT LIKE OUR FOOD.

I learned it in High School and remember a little. When I went to Paris, I didn't need to use it as I was on a tour. It would have been nice to know it then. Now they are teaching it in elementary school which is good. When I was in school.. I didn't take it till high school.

I speak french, but not fluently. I have studied this language at the high school and at university, but always at a low level. I don't know if french are snobs to americans, I haven't ever heard it before.
