Personal Review: Travelers Tales France: True Stories
Both TT: France and TT: Paris are perfect companions on a trip to France.
They put you in the mood to experiment when you travel and provide an
eager anticipation of French culture. I've read both and will probably take
them on an upcoming trip to France as pleasant refreshers. They're good
enough that I've written to James O'Reilly and asked for sequels to both
books, hoping to deepen exposure to things French.This book is truly
eclectic -- stories about French waiters; demolition teams working on

removing explosives from the two world wars; the Celtic stones in Brittany;
the Wild West atmospher of l'Ardeche; and stories of invasion and
Normandy. Just about all of the stories have been published in
newspaper or magazine articles, but are very carefully selected to show a
new dimension to France. You'll recognize a few of the authors (Jon
Krakauer, 'Into Thin Air,' and Peter Mayle, 'A Year in Provence'). The
margin notes are also a great addition to the flavor of the book.
