A highly informative coursebook and reference work rolled into one which gives an insight into various aspects of France, her history and her people and which deserves a place on every reading list at A-level and beyond.

Using short, easily accessible articles together with graphs, charts and photographs, La France aux cent visages provides a remarkably detailed overview of commercial, scientific and technological trends; of daily life in France ; the key institutions and the regions. A section entitled Humeurs et valeurs aptly sums up the ethics of France and her people today.

The two accompanying videos entitled Visages de la France are highly recommended- see separate entry.
