As a Parisian spending 3 months in California, I once rented a car and did this trick in dowtown Palo Alto. Only to come back 30 minutes later with the owner of the car in front of mine and a police officer, both mystified and horrified as to how a car had been able to fit in such kind of spot. I was close to get a ticket, until they realized I was French, and I showed them how to get in and out of a tight parking spot without touching the cars in front and behind me. This was before in the 90's, before we had rear cameras.

In my country, a small scratch caused by undesired incident will end up with serious quarrel and/or sue. In France, it seems that drivers do not complain if their car get hit as a result of this parking action, because they have understood each other or became accustomed to doing this parking.

Bumpers are there for bumping. If someone need a decoration instead of a bumper he should stay away from cities or crowded places Its just a tool for transportation and a small and little scratch at bumpers doesnt make any real difference for its use. I know a lot will disagree, but i think its better not to be attached too much to an item. At least not when we talk about little scratches.

Был я в Париже и видел такие парковки. Там это в порядке вещей. Подавляющее большинство обычных машин(я имею в виду небольшие Рено, Пежо, Ситры, Опеля и прочие (скажем так - не очень дорогие) ) все имеют ссадины и царапины на бамперах, боковинах и т.д.

Having said that, not all Parisian drivers possess the necessary skill. As to bumping, French people also do not like it. You do it when the other car’s driver is not present and you do your best to bump as gently as possible with the intent to leave no scratch on both bumpers (yours and his).

With clutch you lower the torque transmitted to the wheels so when u touch another car it's like a human hand pressing on the body of the car, you can't do that with an automatic cause even if u gently press the gas pedal lots of torque are put onto the wheels which will damage the car paint. Plus clutch pedals are very long and you can be very precise by using both pedals at the same time.
