I like that - 'all the french are miserable rude
pr!cks, but not like us here. Here's a link...'
If someone comes into your shop here and asks for une bouteille d'eau et une assiette de frites are you going to be hospitable to them?? I dare say probably not.
Dam, you can't get your hands on a working holiday visa can you? They're pretty straightforward to get and it'll open a hell of a lot more doors for you. If you're leaving in a couple of weeks it'll probably be a little tough though. Often you're going to need an airside security pass for any of these jobs in which the waiting time for the clearance itself will outlast your time here.
