Living and Working in France : A Survival Handbook

General information isn't difficult to find in France (provided you speak French) and a multitude of books are published on every conceivable subject. However, reliable and up-to-date information in English specifically intended for foreigners living and working in France isn't so easy to find, least of all in one volume. This book was written to fill this void and provide the comprehensive practical information necessary to help you feel at home. You may have visited France as a tourist, but living and working there is a different matter altogether. Adjusting to a different environment and culture and making a home in any foreign country can be a traumatic and stressful experience – and France is no exception. Living and Working in France is the most up-to-date source of general information available for foreigners in France. However, it isn't simply a monologue of dry facts and figures, but a practical and entertaining look at life. First published in 1993 and now in its 11th (eleventh) edition, it's the only up-to-date book currently published for those planning to live or work in France. It contains up to twice as much information as similar books and is essential reading for newcomers.
