Book gives tips for dealing with French people By SUZY PATTERSON Associated Press Writer .1 aHn is giCut wUnGUi the French, goes the oid cliche.

Not ssi, according to Polly Platt, American author of a new book, French or Foe, on how to get along here. "The French are admirable, but complicated to foreigners," says Platt. "Don't smile! Flirt! Shake hands!" are some of the hints she dishes out in her code of conduct. Smiling at strangers is not French, therefore not appreciated, according to Platt. She's a 25- year resident of Paris known in the business world for her course, Culture Crossings, which helps new residents over their culture shock.

In her book, Platt takes a humorous but serious look at differences between the French and Others. What if the baker takes umbrage at your request for a paper bag for your bread and tells you never to darken her doorway again? Why didn't the customs fellow return your smile? Just culture clashes, according to Platt. A bicycle-riding ebullient blonde (60-something) living on the Left Bank, she grew to love the French. "They are programmed differently from us," says Platt, whose book covers everything from conduct in the streets to historical reasons why the French are the way they are. From Charlemagne to Louis XIV and Napoleon, France has always been influenced by its history, according to Plait, who cites Louis XIV in describing dinner-party decorum.

The Pennsylvania-born Platt originally aimed the book at her big corporate clients, but it could appeal to just about anybody visiting France. It even delights the French. "Absolutely remarkable, very well observed, brilliant and very, very funny," said Baron Etie de Rothschild, who bought 12 copies of the book Platt paid to publish herself. So why don't the French smile all the time at strangers, the way Americans do? "Smiling is not taught in French families," she says, "let alone grinning. French parental education, along with the school system, is about the most rigorous and demanding on the planet, but smiles are nol included.".
