Why Shop at DiscoverFrance.net?

While it is always possible for you to shop directly through Amazon.com's home page or through any of their 600,000 other affiliates, shopping through the links provided in the Discover France Bookstore helps us to defray the expenses of developing and hosting this site. We are constantly adding new content to serve our audience of francophiles throughout the world (5 million+ visitors in 2007!), and our site has received numerous awards for educational excellence since its inception in 1999.

This effort can only be sustained with your support! If you feel that your experience on our site has been a positive one, and that the information we have presented here has proved helpful to you in planning a trip or learning more about France, please consider making your purchases through our Boutique.

When you follow links to Amazon.com products through our Bookstore, a temporary cookie is stored in your browser which tells Amazon.com that your visit originated here. If your visit results in a purchase, approximately 5% of the total sale (before shipping) is credited to Discover France in the form of a commission. The cookie is erased when you finish your browsing session, and a subsequent visit directly to Amazon.com's home page will NOT be credited to Discover France. Consequently, we respectfully ask that you bookmark the page you are now viewing, to ensure that future purchases will support our ongoing efforts.

Please visit our Guest Book, let us know what you think, and suggest any particular authors or titles which you'd like to see offered by DiscoverFrance.net in the future. Thank you kindly for your patronage and support! I hope that your visits here have provided you with a useful and informative collection of resources on France.
