- Synopsis
- THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT FRANCE : How to say Oh la la Smuggling live chickens into rugby matches is patriotic How many times to kiss on the cheek A six-pack is a bar of chocolate The dangers of being called Peter or Penny Ordering a steak without getting sneered at The importance of Wednesdays How to tip When to celebrate Christmas From sugar-cube etiquette to why the Marseillaise is all about slaughtering Austrians and Prussians as bloodily as possible, Charles Timoney lays bare the Gallic mindset alongside their bizarre language. Covering all areas of everyday life from eating and drinking to travel, work and, crucially, swearing and sounding like a teenager, this is not just the most entertaining, but also the most useful book on France and the French you'll ever read.
