At the age of eighteen Lucy Wadham ran away from English boys and into the arms of a Frenchman. Twenty-five years later, having married in a French Catholic Church, put her children through the French educational system and divorced in a French court of law, Wadham is perfectly placed to explore the differences between Britain and France.

Using both her personal experiences and the lessons of French history and culture, she examines every aspect of French life - from sex and adultery to money, happiness, race and politics - in this funny and engrossing account of our most intriguing neighbour.

"The other distinctive feature of the Parisian motoring experience is of course the Place de l'Etoile, a huge roundabout with Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe in the middle, involving thirteen avenues, each one holding right of way. The Etoile has been written of endlessly as a symbol of French chaos. There are in fact rules - rules that are redolent of the game 'chicken' - they're just not the kinds of rules that come easily to Anglo-Saxon drivers."
