I would say a little bit colder. Frenchs are the coldest one, Italians the less.

YES!! The basic laws of politeness and respect apply everywhere, so if you follow them, you will be treated accordingly. I lived in France and I found nothing but warm open people. The French would prefer you to begin TRYING to speak french to them if you ask them a question, this shows them that you are making an effort. How would you feel if some idiot tourist walked up to you speaking a foreign language?? How would you know if they were even asking a question or just telling you to blow off? It is considered polite to say Bonjour, Hola, Buon Giorno when you enter a shop/restaurant/etc to the owner or host. And Europeans prefer soft voices in all public places, so try not to be the loud American. Spain and Italy is much louder and boisterous - so you get away with more there. Of course, you will run into people who are having a bad day and have little patience for you (or waiters who want to go home or are stressed out) - but don't take it personally and remain polite and you'll have a very enjoyable experience! Relax, and remember - if you show them that you are not embarrassed to try their language (even if it's terrible), they'll feel more comfortable trying to speak yours.

You will find the people of Spain and Italy to be charming and gracious. If you are lucky, you may even find one Frenchman or Frenchwoman who is not arrogant and anti American.
