“An essential guide to the finer points of French grammar and the top selling book in France at the start of every new school year, the “Bescherelle” has consolidated its position in 2006. To protect its essential status in French schoolbags and bookcases, this collection of grammar books with a slogan sure to stop that red pen in its tracks, “Without Bescherelle, you’ll get it all wrong!”, has reprinted its three flagship books.

A true bible for schoolchildren and university students alike, the “Bescherelle” has been revamped to correct us even more effectively.
