    Chapeau!
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014*

Chapeau to the authors who wrote such a well-done book! It was not an easy job, yet they did a superb analysis, it’s accurate and thorough. They don’t judge one side or the other; they present both perspectives (e.g. how the French and Americans think and why, how they see relationships, etc.). I laughed hard to some of the anecdotes.I'd say it's a must read for expats, for any American married or dating a French person or who are friends, and for anyone taking French (knowing the culture is at least as important as knowing the language).The first half is about personal stuff (self, family, school, friends, romance, work, religion, and the regions), it made me very nostalgic of my French culture. The chapter about the French society made me sad - still the same issues, maybe worsened.The second half is about the workplace and doing business. It reminded me why I prefer working with Americans but I was raised and did all my schooling in France and I definitely think like a French! It was interesting to realize that.The 2004 version of the book exists in French, see: “Français-Américains : Ces différences qui nous rapprochent” on Amazon.fr.

    Good book, I like it.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2017*

This is a good book.  It is very readable, it flows nicely, its enjoyable, its interesting.  BUT, it is irritatingly obvious throughout the whole book how much the authors prefer french culture over american culture.... it is irritating.

    Not just for business travel
  

*by K***X on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014*

I like the historical and in depth analyses of the French perspective. I am an armchair travellor now. i have been to France twice as a tourist but am not planning a return trip. The cultural sophistocation Au Contraire is adding to my thinking not just about France but about being an East Coast American is valuable to me adding  to the value of having travelled  a few short weeks to paris, Normandy and the Dordogne . the book greatly increases myt desire to return to France.
