"France is, in many respects, a lovely and cultured land but it is also notoriously full of thieving msicreants. Make sure you hide The Book well. Never leave it in a parked car. Put it in the hotel safe. Carry it in a concealed money pouch. If it is stolen, DO NOT GO TO THE POLICE, as they will very likely be in on the theft. Instead, approach you embassy or consulate, who will exert pressure on the French government on your behalf through the proper diplomatic channels."
While I can't afford the time or money to spend a week in France, I'll be following The Book's "Vacationing at Home" guide for equivalent tasks for those in my same situation. Hopefully it'll be pretty fun behaving all French (and not like the shitty Quebecois that flood Vermont all the time). Vive La France!
