Eating and Shopping in France, A Kolibri Practical Guide to Lifestyle, Manners and Language

Product Review (submitted on 11 October 2012):

This is a beautifully presented book that would make an ideal gift for any Francophile. The photographs are luscious, so from the moment you open this book you are immediately in France; in a coffee bar, a brasserie, a market or a posh restaurant. Even if you love good food and French culture, but don't speak a word of the language you will still enjoy the book because every chapter captures that essential flavour of France and is brimming with useful information and interesting cultural tips.

If you are interested in improving your French, there are key words and phrases for every section as well as a CD to help you with the correct pronunciation.

I would also love to see similar publications for other European countries and collect a whole series.
