OMG, I had the noisiest, WORST time in a French restaurant last spring with a bunch of unruly kids and their 30-something parents who refused to corral them, much less keep them quieted down. They were screaming so loudly I couldn't hear the person we had taken out to lunch, and running around the tables and knocking chairs over. Of course, the parents were completely unapologetic or respectful of the other diners. And this was an expensive resto.
Kids are the same everywhere. It's their parents who are the problem.
