They are eager to know you, often inviting you into their home where you will sit with the family, drink tea while you smile and utter your meager French over and over. (Merci, trés bon and trés jolie are stock phrases good for almost any social situation).
If you are traveling alone, it is hard to avoid at least one of these encounters, but you are none the worse for it and in the long run are better prepared for the next encounter.
