Comme Ci, Comme Ca

Does our fascination with the French never end? How can a nation that is only 20.6 miles from the English coastline be so different in so many ways? If you've holidayed, travelled or are thinking of living in France, this book will help you tunnel under the cultural differences that are deeper than the English Channel. Originally published as featured articles in the award-winning magazine 'Northern Life', Vivienne Barker presents twenty four chapters comparing the national oddities that separate England and France. Each chapter will help you appreciate an aspect of French society that is subtly contrary to its English equivalent. If you are studying French or curious about what makes the French tick, this book will provide you with food for thought, topics for amusing fellow ex-pats, or something to argue about with your French connections.
