More about the book
All French people grow up with the belief that France is the only country on earth worth living in. It is impossible to argue with them, and they cannot be convinced otherwise; they can only be attempted to be understood. Champagne and Provence, Sartre and Marquis de Sade, Chopin and Piaf, camembert and ratatouille, Toulouse-Lautrec and Truffaut, Chanel No. 5 and "New Look," Montmartre and the Côte d'Azur, "Tour de France" and pétanque… Who are they and what is it? From cinema to cuisine, from sports to music, from history to fashion, from philosophy to mass media - all the most important things about France and the French from firsthand sources.
