211 Tips for Enjoying France and the French

Travel Editor Harry Shattuck headlines Savoir-Flair! in the Houston Chronicle:

"This season's best offerings include a fun-filled treatise on survival in Paris ("Waiters won't humiliate you without a reason," the author assures) ..."

Shattuck's review:

Meshing with the local culture is important. Are you intimidated by Parisian waiters? Befuddled by traffic signs -- or the lack thereof -- on roadways? Polly Platt eases much of the frustration in Savoir-Flair! 211 Tips for Enjoying France and the French. Just as she did in her best seller French or Foe?, Platt meshes humor and substance in her quest to help Americans better understand a sometimes bewildering but always fascinating culture.
