Publisher's Synopsis
Providing a myriad of viewpoints that look at the world through a filter of irony, incongruity, satire, parody, nonsense, and truth, this guide focuses on people-the tourist, the maitre d', the throngs that pass by your cafe. Full, but not stuffed, with stories, memoirs, character sketches, descriptions, light verse,
drawings, and cartoons. Preparations and arrival, the sights and the haute cuisine, gambling, mountain climbing, and speaking French, even coming home and telling the neighbors, it's all here.
