Unique and Interesting

This French book is unique and lacks the repetitive theme of other books where the main characters travel around Francophone countries and learn idiomatic phrases, grammar, vocabulary and culture along the way. Instead, this book examines French history and teaches all of the above topics, but in a different way. I was really happy with the amount of reading in this book; there are many interesting articles and excerpts from ancient documents. This has definitely been the best French book I've come across so far.

Très bon!

I use this book in my French 4 class, and I think it is wonderful. As a student, I can tell you that it is easy to use and understand, with the vocabulary in boldface in the side margins, and extensive footnotes, it is very useful indeed.The only two things I have to say, and they're not necessarily bad things, just a bit...peculiar...is that sometimes pointless information is given in the footnotes, such as the fact that a new time system might be developed in the future.... Also, sometimes in the activities, they will ask you for vocabulary words from previous chapters, sometimes so far back that you barely remember them! O_oOverall, though, great book, very informative both of the French language and history!

This is an excellent French book!

I used this book in my advanced French class. It is excellent. Each chapter is arranged into three sections: the first is French history, the second is French literature and culture, and the third is French grammar. It is very well-written with few mistakes. It's completely in French, but has side notes for commonly misunderstood expressions and words. It also has a glossary in the back. This book is great!
