Berets, baguettes & strings of onions are all very well, but to really fit in across the Channel takes a certain...je ne sais quoi. The French might make it look easy, but being French requires a fine balance of aloof confidence, an innate sense of superiority, joie de vivre & doing everything with style. Then, of course, there are the basics to get to grips with, such as the fact that the customer is always wrong, why it`s OK to let your dog do its business in the street, why queuing is not necessary & why French cuisine is undeniably the best in the entire world. This witty book takes a humorous look at the charms & foibles of the Gallic nation, teaching you everything you need to know about being correctly French, including such essentials as: how to perfect the Gallic shrug; the real French rules of the road; &, how & when to stage a strike/demonstration.
