I've traveled a lot, and lived in both France and Switzerland.

You haven't. Francophones are different and way more elitist about their language.

+1 - parent commenter clearly takes too easily of an offense here. Even the French people in my inntercircle agree that there is some level of elitism.

I get the angle you're coming from, but in multi lingual countries where it's table stakes to be at least bilingual, an expressed rejection of not using language A over B is used often as a social cudgel.
