French
or Foe? : Getting the Most Out of Visiting, Living and Working
in France by Polly Platt,
Walter "Let's face it: the French have gotten a bad rap.
Mention that you're considering a trip to France and everyone
will warn you about rude waiters, supercilious shopkeepers, and
snooty concierges who won't give you the time of day--and worse,
pretend not to understand your high-school French. Not so, says
Polly Platt, author of French or Foe?; "The French are generous,
exhilarating friends," but they are different--wonderfully
so...Order here (worldwide shipping)

The
French (Kodansha Globe) by Theodore Zeldin, Philip Turner (Editor)
There are a zillion
guides to France jostling for position on travel shelves, but
none gives more than a cursory Gallic nod to the people some
people love to hate--the French themselves. It's a sympathetic,
funny, serious, richly readable, charming book that hits the
spot and fills a need. Order here (worldwide shipping)

Culture Shock!: France
by Sally Adamson Taylor
"This book will
tell you that the French don't smile (at least not like Californians
do) and if you smile too much you will look stupid to them. It
gives tips for getting a job, receiving your mail, using the
phone, getting an apartment, what wines to drink, and how to
act as a guest in the home of the French. I learned why I shouldn't
ask a policeman for directions, what magic phrases to use to
elicit help from any French person, and that the French would
understand if I cut in front of them in line .."order here (worldwide shipping)
