French Tales is a collection of twenty-two stories, each related to a region of France and translated by Helen Constantine. This selection of extracts gives the reader a panorama of French society and culture from Brittany to Corsica, evocating different matters such as marriage, the First World War, homelessness, house buying, childhood, honour-killing...

Stories are from well known writers such as Maupassant, Zola, Colette, Alphonse Daudet, Marcel Aymé and many more. Enlivened by striking photographs and a map of the French regions showing where the stories’ action takes place, the book will delight people who love travelling and learning more about different cultures and traditions, whether they are Francophiles or not.
