France – Description and Travel | ISBN 1 74110 408 4 | $24.95

When Sally and her husband Gordon decided to spend a month in France, they were determined to make contact with rural France and its people, despite the language barrier

Just Enough French is the engaging and entertaining story of their journey: from visits to patisseries and cafes to encounters with cheese-makers and petanque players, Dally describes their experiences in vivid detail.

With tales of mouth-watering meals around kitchen tables and in sunny courtyards, scenic drives over mountains and alongside vineyards, this is the perfect book for Francophiles, travellers and gastronomes alike.
