If you are intrigued by French culture and curious about the history behind French traditions, this book is for you. In it, you'll find a selection of short stories, written in a lively style, which often reveal little-known, but always fascinating facts about French customs. Would you like to know: ¿ Why people have fish on their backs on April 1st? ¿ How the Bastille was taken down? ¿ Who collects teeth from under children's pillows? ¿ Which sport honours the memory of a girl called Fanny? You will discover the fascinating stories behind these and other French traditions. French Holidays & Traditions is made up of twelve chapters - one for each month of the year, and each chapter contains one or two stories. These stories might relate to a holiday observed during that month, or they could relate to a tradition, which may not be associated with any particular date. Then, at the end of each chapter, you will find a list of holidays and observances for that month. A handy reference for a monthly dose of French culture.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.

Autorenporträt
I'm American by birth, but feel at home in Europe after years of living in the UK and France and traveling in other European countries. Life is never dull here with so much history to discover. There's a story hiding under every stone and I'm always trying to find it. I'm a curious person by nature and I'm forever wanting to know who, what, why, when, where, and how... When I find answers to these questions, I share them on my blog, the Curious Rambler, or in my Curious Histories books. (Are you beginning to notice a curious theme?) I share my adventures (and my questions) with Jeff, my husband of many years. I enjoy travel, history, observing cultures and traditions - and then writing about them, of course.
