    I LOVE the FHP. Gary’s passionate and methodical research and love of French culture and language make this a must for anyone who truly desires to understand what makes France tick. I have learnt so much not only about France but European and world history, it’s hard to pinpoint one strand or episode. Hint: order it from oldest to new and start from the first episode to get the most of it.
