Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Mixed!On the one hand, it is very comprehensive and covers huge areas of French life. But on the other hand, it is full of small errors. Not just out-of-date, which you accept in printed guides, but errors of fact, many irritating spelling errors and mistranslations from French to English. Rating:  - Sort of UsefulRecently purchased this book and some of the information is useful, but the majority of it I would class a common sense really. With the information available on the internet and through specialist forums you can find out most of the information you would need without having to buy this book. Rating:  - An invaluable source of informationThis is not a book to be picked up and read as a novel but it is a wonderful source of information for anyone considering a move to France or for those individuals who have recently moved here. I have lived in France for almost three years now and know (or think I know) what to do but much of the information in this book would have been very welcome when I first moved here. Knowing what I know now the important factor is that the author has really checked his facts so that this book is 99% accurate - there are still a few areas which could be wrong or debateable but since EU bureaucracy changes by the month nothing will ever be totally accurate. There are too many books written by people who have never lived in the country about which they are writing and who are simply attempting to cash in on the relocation bandwagon - this is definitely not a book which falls into this category. If you are moving to France or you are a recent arrival in France buy this book and keep it close to you - you will find it invaluable. It certainly has pride of place on my everyday bookshelf.
