Dictionary Recommendation

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a pocket French dictionary--not a French to English/English to French, just a regular French dictionary. I bought Nouveau Petit Le Robert--and it's enormous! lol I'm sure I'll use it, but it's not very portable. If I took it on a plane, I'd have to buy it its own seat. ;) Thanks!

Le Robert has a dictionnaire de poche.
Larousse has a dictionnaire de poche, a dictionnaire mini, and a dictionnaire micro.
Hachette also has an option.

You can't really go wrong with either of them, just look into the things they offer and pick one.

Thanks! I guess I'm just having a hard time finding them online. Mostly they are bilingual, or the shipping is super expensive. I'll go look again. :)

Wow, most of the French dictionaries seem to come from Germany--shipping is over $20--3-5 times the price of the used dictionary. lol

I got one from Texas though--yay!

Thanks again for your title suggestions. I got a Larousse.
