 Charming, fun and informative, September 28, 2008
Jill Butler's books are always a pleasure. The graphics are charming and the information is excellent. I read them to my 5-year-old granddaughter who's been to France seven times. She loves the books and recognizes some of her favorite landmarks. Reading them is so much more fun (and less boring for me) than so many other options. Do I have a plot? You bet. I plan to kidnap my granddaughters to Paris and want them to feel at home.
 Not Much Better than a Vocabulary List February 11, 2008
While the graphics are cute and the pronunciation guides are somewhat helpful, I was disappointed in this book. It seemed to me to be only one step better than any vocabulary list you can find. I found it only minimally useful.
 Practical and precise October 1, 2007
An interesting tome that is practical and precise. Valuable for the first time traveler to Paris. Bon voyage!

I had borrowed this book from the library during a tourist-French class. The teacher told me she used to teach from this book. It's a great size to fit in a purse/bag and I'm going to bring it when I go to France this summer. With the pictures, I think it's better than a regular translation mini-book.
The Key to Paris Communications June 27, 2006

I spent a week in Paris for business earlier this month and had only 6 days' notice about the trip. I don't speak French and I had never been outside of the U.S. I found this book, Rendez-vous with France, at the local library and it was my saving grace throughout the week. By using the book and its charming illustrations, I was able to communicate with shuttle drivers, hotel staff, street vendors and wait staff. I literally could not have gotten through the week without it! Since I was in Paris for business I didn't really get to EXPERIENCE much of Paris, but I have already bought this book and Jill Butler's next book on wandering in Paris for my next trip.
