The Green Michelin guide includes a fat chunk of pages devoted to an introductory overview of French history. The book is a good investment anyway, so you might want to pick up a copy of that book and see how much more you need.

History, "...it makes travel more enjoyable."
I couldn't agree with you more. Take a peek at Alistair Horne's "Friend or Foe: An Anglo-Saxon History of France." It's a bit Paris-centric, but an entertaining narrative all the same.

"Seven Ages of Paris" by Alistair Horne was, to me, absolutely fascinating. You can find a review from the National Review at:
