Rick Steves' French Phrase Book and Dictionary

by: Rick Steves
I was recently in France with 2 other friends. We all had different phrase books. I had this book, one friend had the "French Phrases for Dummies" (which was complete garbage), and another had (I think) the Fodors French phrase book. With the Rick Steve's book, I was able to find the phrases we needed in about 1/10th the time it took my friend with the Fodor's book to find them, and my friend with the "Dummies" book was lucky to find anything at all.

Once again, Rich Steves shows he is the master in all things about traveling to Europe.

An Hour from Paris

by: Annabel Simms
It may not strike first-time visitors to Paris, but one of the world's most civilized cities is also a theme park. Parisland, I call it. And not with derision. For those who love art, literature, music, food, high style and history --- that's you, and you, and most certainly me ---Paris just might be the ideal destination.

But what if you tire of the glories of Paris?

What if you want a change of scene?

The answer is not to pack your bags and move on to the next urban wonderland.

Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong: Why We Love France but Not the French

by: Jean-Benoit Nadeau, Julie Barlow
This book is a good start to understand how we the French are so different..of course to us the "Americains" are the different ones...
I wish there were more books like this one about all cultures.
Even for a native it is always good to revisit some of the history and to understand how behaviors and cultures are shaped by past experiences. It is true for individuals as well as for nations.
I am a French living in the states married to an american and finally understood some of the cultural differences my husband and I have been arguing about for the last few years thanks to 60 million Frenchmen can't be wrong! .
