Traveling to France or Doing Business With the French?

Since 2014, I have been writing about cultural differences between the United States and France or Germany. Believe me, I love sharing insights into French traditions! I’ve often quoted different books on the subject that are especially entertaining or informative. Today, I’ve put all of my recommendations together in one place.

Just in time for Christmas, here is a summary of my reading list plus some items that are “very French”. You can order them directly by clicking on the item, title or picture or by using the Amazon link. (My favorite is Lunch in Paris: A love story with recipes.)

Happy holidays!
