This "anti-Mayle" will have readers chortling over their croissants and cafe au lait while Paul West struggles to solve the mysteries inherent in life in France. What is the best way to scare a <i>gendarme</i>? Is it really polite to sleep with your boss's mistress? And why are there no public health warnings on French nude beaches? Paul discovers how to judge a French vacationer by the rustiness of his bicycle; opens his English tearoom; and finally understands why Parisian waiters are so cranky. Just in time for spring in Paris, find out if Paul finds the perfect French mademoiselle or if it all ends in merde! </p><p>Stephen Clarke is a British journalist who has written comedy sketches for BBC Radio.
