'Creme anglaise' is not cream, but custard. If you photograph a French person, you don't ask them to say 'cheese' and certainly not 'fromage'; instead they sy 'ouistiti', which, weirdly, means a marmoset. The word 'verge' is French for the male organ, which delights the few French travellers here when they see a road sign: 'soft verges'.'</p><p class="byline"><small>For more information on this book, either double click on the image or the following link.. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1846140528/keitheckcom-21" Title="Please click here for more information about this book.">More information</a></small></p>  <a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3546338-10565683" target="_top"> <img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-3546338-10565683" width="234" height="60" alt="234x60_MA_BRAND01" border="0"/></a> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1854184938/keitheckcom-21"><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1854184938.jpg" alt="The BretonDiary Bookshop" title="The BretonDiary Bookshop" width="240" border="0" /></a></td><td width=600 valign=top><h3> Speak the Culture: France: Be Fluent in French Life and Culture by Andrew Whittaker</h3><p>Even as Eurostar relocates to a gloriously refurbished St Pancras station and the journey time between London and Paris is shaved even closer, more and more people on both sides of the Channel are taking advantage of the extra opportunities this highly cherishable link offers us.</p><p class="byline"><small>For more information on this book, either double click on the image or the following link.. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1854184938/keitheckcom-21" Title="Please click here for more information about this book.">More information</a></small></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1873429894/keitheckcom-21"><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1873429894.jpg" alt="The BretonDiary Bookshop" title="The BretonDiary Bookshop" width="240" border="0" /></a></td><td width=600 valign=top><h3>The Nature of France: Brittany [Illustrated]</h3><p>Occupying the north-west corner of France, the region of Brittany covers a land area similar to that of Wales.
