Full of French culture and history. Easily readable. I feel that I am now better prepared for my next trip to France. I wish I had read this before we had received our French exchange student, I think that I would have been much more able to understand some of her quirks! ( ) Ms. Yandell takes us through France as we learn to find joy in life. She tells us about history, literature, eating, walking, culture, music, food, and living. I enjoyed this read. I learned a lot. I liked how she compared French living to American living. I could get used to living the way the French do. Live in the moment. Enjoy the moment. Enjoy life. No multitasking. Focus on what you are doing and enjoy it. Sit and talk. Oh, yeah, I could get used to that. I also learned a lot about French cities and naming of streets. Their history. Their literature. Love their commercials. Worth the little glimpse in French lives! Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Cathy Yandell's The French Art of Living Well is a delightful look at French culture, from literature to cuisine to humor and more, showing how the French have captured that magic elixir known as joie de vivre. What is joie de vivre, and why is it a fundamentally French concept? In search of those ineffable qualities that make up the joy of living, this lively book takes listeners on a voyage to France through forays into literature, history, and culture. How does art contribute to daily life? Why is cuisine such a central part of French existence? Why are the French more physical than many other cultures? How do French attitudes toward time speak volumes about their sense of pleasure and celebration? And finally, to what extent is this zest for life exportable? These and other questions give way to a dynamic sketch of French life today. Peppered with anecdotes and humor, this book uncovers some of the secrets of the celebrated French art of living well. Drawing from her years of living in France as a student, professor, and mother, Yandell crafts an honest and profound appraisal of French culture and how la joie de vivre can be developed in anyone's life.
