A comprehensive and easily accessible guide to the French way of life and language. The book features valuable practical information about French ways and customs and each chapter contains a taking it further section and language tips on how to write or talk about each topic.

Are the French really the best lovers in the world? Who invented 'haute couture'? Who said 'Je pense donc je suis'? Do they still spend hours at the dinner table? This book answers these questions, and others, in an overview of France: the country, its languages, its people, their way of life and culture and what makes them tick.
