Are the French really the best lovers in the world? Who invented 'haute couture'? Who said 'Je pense donc je suis'? Do they still spend hours at the dinner table? This book answers these questions, and others, in an overview of France: the country, its languages, its people, their way of life and culture and what makes them tick.
