5.0 out of 5 stars Fun with French Whether you Travel to France or Not, June 25, 2003
Even if you are fairly fluent in the French language yet have never gone to France, you will find this little book/travel diary indispensible and so incredibly easy to use you will wonder why someone else did not think of it sooner. Each of the pages is liberally sprinkled with colorful drawings, a explanation or label in French and the phonetic pronunciation of whatever the picture depicts. Tres facile! The book is setup in 5 units: En Voyage (your arrival, transportation, hotel arrangements, sightseeing and departure), Eating out in Cafes and Restaurants (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner), Shopping (Clothes, Food and Household goods), the Basics ( Counting, Money, Communication, Services, Time, Restrooms and Emergencies) and the Index with a wonderful alphabet pronunciation that most books simply and foolishly do not include. Insightfully, Butler provides pages in the book for you to list such memorable things as your favorite restaurants and cafes, notable villages, favorite meals, etc. She thoughtfully provides a page which depicts the types of French bread, the characteristics of the Fish you may choose on a menu--for example: les anchois are grey,oily,strong in flavor and fillets, country and region codes associated with the French telephone system, and many other interesting and necessary bits of information that you just will not find in the more popular guides. Above all the format is fun and easy to use, Butler was wise enough to include a built in ribbon bookmark. Recommended to anyone who will travel to France--mentally or physically and for anyone who studies the French language--this colorful book makes a great reference guide and vocabulary builder

5.0 out of 5 stars Rendez-vous with France a la Jill Butler, September 10, 2002
By Happy New Mom (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews
I took this charming book along on a recent trip to Paris and the Loire Valley. My husband (who speaks fluent French), our good friend and fellow traveler (who spoke no French), and I (still learning) all enjoyed this little book tremendously! It is a wonderful guide to everyday useful vocabulary, organized by common situations that require conversation. The best part are Jill's entertaining illustrations and the phoenetic pronunciation guide with each word. We all added some new words to our vocabulary during the trip, and had lots of fun using this book together as we went.

5.0 out of 5 stars Merci Jill!, May 23, 2002
By L. Udell (San Rafael, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jill Butler has given us a guidebook extraordinaire. It's as beautiful as it is practical, with her charming illustrations and phonetic spellings of the words and expressions that will help the non French-speaking visitor shop, dine and make their way in France with ease. It's a must for every francophile!
