France - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture Paperback – March 4, 2021

I bought the book of Amazon and then found it in the library so I returned it (EXACTLY THE SAME) but this is a very informational book. It is great for doing research or a project on France, gives you some very good pointers about the culture, etc!

How to put this diplomatically… well, the French are not necessarily the most welcoming of visitors nor the easiest to get along with. Happily, this guide went a long way to help me see beyond the façade to understand who the French really are, how they view life and what are the things that are most important to them. In addition there were many interesting insights on festivals, traditions, cuisine and language. Perhaps most importantly, it gives very valuable advice on socializing that helped me get by unscathed and with poise intact! France is a beautiful country and their culture is unique, but it can be tricky for the uninitiated. Do yourself a favour – pack this handy little guide in your luggage!

I enjoyed reading this fun book and feel a little better prepared for my trip in May.

A great help in understanding norms of French culture and nuisance! I’ve traveled there often and found it very helpful. Great and engaging writing.

A nice book for first time travelers to France. It gives you an insight in to the French, their history, their customs. This book will make your trip to France more enjoyable and may save you from some of the awkward situations of a "tourist".

There's a ton of methods to researching nowadays, but nothing beats the tourist book on the way to your destination whilst on the plane. A solid read to get some insight on France.

A useful short book that combines witty observations about France and french people with helpful tips and advices about getting along there, particularly when doing business.

There are different ones on nations but it’s chapter index is easier to search. Small print sizes ,but into pre travel plans: (to notes on trip !)
