Not my experience.
There’s a definite Parisian superiority attitude I find extremely annoying, but by and large the issue I found isn’t that they don’t speak English, but that they refuse to speak French.
It may be that my French is so bad that it’s painful, but I’d try. And usually I’d get a pause, a look, and then they’d switch to English.
The countryside is different. English isn’t as common as it is in Germany. But, if you speak passable German, they’ll at least speak German with you.
