Captures the flavours of French regional cuisine, paints the colour of festival life and delves into the Gallic psyche. Through exploring the people, movements and lifestyles that have shaped the French experience, this book provides an understanding of France and the French. It gives insight into French life and culture and who the French are.
A guidebook can show you where to go, a language guide what to say when you get there. But only "Speak the Culture: France" will lead you to a nation's soul. This easy to use cultural companion considers how it feels to have grown up with Flaubert, Cezanne and Bardot; it captures the flavours of French regional cuisine, paints the colour of festival life and delves deep into the Gallic psyche. Through exploring the people, movements and the lifestyles that have shaped the French experience, you will come to an intimate understanding of France and the French. This is not a travel guide or a manual on living in France. It's a superbly designed, informed and engaging insight into French life and culture and who the French really are.
