While I'm sorry that you did not have an enjoyable experience, I wanted to second the response from Vancity25 - when I first visited Paris, I was completely unaware of the dining customs there. It's true that meals are generally a social occasion to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, and being in a hurry is considered rude. At most restaurants, you will not be presented with your bill until you ask for it, so that you feel welcome to sit and talk for hours if you like. Now I'm much more aware of how fast we eat in the states...so much nicer to slow things down and enjoy!
