" Dear members of expatexchange, As I''ve just started my PhD on migration studies, I am still looking for books on the subject I''ve chosen... and as this forum is for those who already have or will have some personal experience as an immigrant, I suppose that you''ve read a bit about France and French culture before planning to live there. So perhaps there''s somebody out there who could recommend some interesting books to me on the following subjects: - communication with ""the french"" - the dominant cultural pattern of that country - values/behavior etc. of ""the french"" If you''ve ever come across an interesting publication (written either in English, French or German) on one of the above topics, it would be really great if you would let me know. Thank you very much in advance for your help! Best regards, Jutta "

" The best way to find such books is to go to any online book seller (Amazon, Barnes&Nobel, Borders, etc.) and use their search engine with words like ""French"" or ""France"". There are several books including ""French or Foe"" and ""Savoir-Flair"" both by Polly Platt. There are other authors and titles I don''t remember at the moment. Also, don''t forget the books like ""Living and Working in France"" by David Hampshire and ""The Grownups Guide to Living in France"" by Rosanne Knorr. They contain a lot of information on French culture and habits. Jim "
