Les Finlandais parlent peu, les Grecs ont la nostalgie du passé, les Anglais aiment la nature. Vous le saviez. Mais saviez-vous pourquoi ? L'Europe est une histoire de famille. Son destin est tissé de haines, d'amours, d'alliances trahies et renouvelées, de querelles de frontières qu'il est parfois difficile de saisir. Bénédicte Lapeyre, qui enseigne le français dans le cadre de la Commission de Bruxelles, revisite ces pays cousins ou frères ennemis avec tendresse et humour, jonglant d'un thème à l'autre - amour, argent, culture -, donnant aux particularités de chacun une dimension inattendue.
