If you do a kelkoo search you might find it cheaper. I tend to do that with most books now. Embarassed

Sounds like it would be nice to retire there. I likes the programme French Leave. I would love to do food/animals full time.

I bought this book after reading the above recommendations - it's excellent Very Happy

I really can't recommend it enough - I thought it was on the pricey side for such a small book, but it's definitely worth the money Smile

It covers all the basics in language even a complete beginner like me can understand, but managed not to be patronising in the slightest.

This book would be thoroughly good investment for anyone planning to hatch a few eggs Very Happy
