Summary

"France is a country that eats, drinks and breathes philosophy. There is not a farmer, fisherman, waiter, car-worker, shop assistant or housewife who isn't a closet Diderot or Descartes, a Saint-Simon or a Sartre." "French politicians look smart because power itself is chic, attractive, seductive, and one should dress to look the part. The French electorate would never allow any government to intervene in their lives if it were shabbily dressed."

Author Biography

Excerpts

Anything goes
The French love ideas, concepts, innovations – playing around with things, like democracy, railway systems, architecture. It's not the practical end of the road they're interested in, but the journey, the possibilities, hence the way they drive, as though safe arrival at their destination was the last thing on their minds.
