French Toast: An American in Paris Celebrates the Maddening Mysteries of the French, by Harriet Welty Rochefort - writes from the wise perspective of one who has spent more than twenty years living among the French. She makes sense of their ever-so-French thoughts on food, money, sex, love, marriage, manners, schools, style, and much more. Her first-person account offers both a helpful reality check and a lot of very funny moments.

Available at tobacco shops, post offices, and France Télécom stores,
the télécarte is now necessary for nearly all public telephones.
Each card has either 50 or 120 ``units''.
It is also possible to find cards of 25 units (20F) but these are very rare.
You'll notice that on the front/left side, they have a microchip;
a ``puce''. This chip keeps track of the number of units left after
each telephone call.
Cellphones:
There are fewer and fewer public phones in Paris, because everyone (including tourists) is using mobile/cell phones.
You can read about some of the issues of using your cell phone in Paris
here, as well as their
solutions.
Besides being used for the telephone, the télécarte
is also used to advertise. The card shown here depicts a hero of
the resistence - Robert Keller - and is part of the commemoration of
the 50th anniversary
of the
Liberation of Paris.
