About this listen
In France, you say "bonjour" the moment you walk into a bakery, a pharmacy or a village shop, before you say anything else. Most visitors never learn the unwritten rules. Hugo Reinhardt will make sure you do.
Explore France Like a Local is a travel guide written for the ear. The famous sights get tips on beating the crowds, and the rest of the book goes where the tour buses don't.
The journey runs from the Channel coast and Brittany to the Alps, the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, with stops in Champagne, Alsace, Burgundy and the volcanic hills of the Auvergne, where the roads are empty and the cheese is made on the farm.
You'll learn how to:
• Greet, shop and order the French way, from the boulangerie to the café terrace
• Walk Paris's covered passages and the old railway line of the Petite Ceinture
• Visit Normandy's cider farms and the quiet coast beyond the D-Day beaches
• Paddle between castles on the Dordogne and see real prehistoric cave paintings
• Walk Lyon's secret traboules and eat in a genuine bouchon
• Find Provence beyond the lavender and swim in the calanques near Marseille
• Spend a night in an Alpine mountain hut and visit the high summer pastures
• Take a canal boat through Burgundy and taste Comté in the Jura
• Explore Corsica's mountain villages, the Cathar castles and the Basque Country
You'll also find practical advice on reading a menu, joining the apéro, when to go, and getting around by train, car and bicycle, plus the dates worth planning around, from the Fête de la Musique to the Heritage Days, when buildings normally closed open their doors.
Every chapter ends with Hidden Gems & Local Secrets: the market, the viewpoint or the side road that turns a good day into one you remember.
Hugo carries a knife and a corkscrew for picnics, takes the regional train and eats where the van drivers eat. This book is built from those habits.
Press play, find a café terrace and meet France the way the locals know it.
