{"product_id":"french-or-foe-getting-the-most-out-of-living-and-working-in-france","title":"French or Foe?: Getting the Most Out of Living and Working in France","description":"A must read before you go to France. Let's face it: the French have gotten a bad rap. Mention that you're considering a trip to France and everyone will warn you about rude waiters, supercilious shopkeepers, and snooty concierges who won't give you the time of day--and worse, pretend not to understand your high-school French. Not so, says Polly Platt, author of French or Foe?; \"The French are generous, exhilarating friends,\" but they are different--wonderfully so. The trick to getting along in France is understanding the culture and learning to accept it on French terms instead of your own. Though the book is designed primarily for people who will be living or working in France for extended periods, the lessons Platt teaches about manners, attitudes, and culture are invaluable for even those visitors just passing through. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0952328607\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0952328607.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Platt, Polly\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
