From the Inside Flap
Pate' de foie gras, an evening game of boules, the Moulin Rouge, the Cannes Film Festival, April in Paris, August anywhere else...in this brilliantly witty book, John Burningham celebrates the nature and culture that is France. But Burningham also turns a sharp eye on other aspects of the country: the horrors of the autoroute, nosy old ladies behind every pair of shutters, the concierge who sees all and tells nothing...
John Burningham makes and selects images of the lifestyle of modern France with generous wit and satiric affection. "How can you expect any kind of agreement from Frenchmen in a country where there are 270 different kinds of cheese? asked Charles de Gaulle. But everyone will agree about this book: C'est magnifique!
From the Back Cover
"FRANCE is a big, generous, colorful book full of good pictures and good humor. John Burnigham has a unique perspective: He treats France with an unsentimental affection, like a good friend you've known all your life and never really understood...a lovely book." Michael Palin
