A Town Like Paris: Falling in Love in the City of Light Book

At the age of twenty-eight, stuck in a dead-end job in London, and on the run from a broken heart, Bryce Corbett takes a job in Paris, home of lâ??amour and la vie boheme; he is determined to make the city his ownâ??no matter how many bottles of Bordeaux it takes. He rents an apartment in Le Marais, the heart of the cityâ??s gay district, hardly the ideal place for a guy hoping to woo French women. He quickly settles into the French work/life balance with its mandatory lunch hour and six weeks of paid vacation. Fully embracing his newfound culture, Corbett frequents smoky cafes, appears on a television game show, hobnobs with celebrities at Cannes, and attempts to parse the nuances behind French politics and why French women really donâ??t get fat. When he falls in love with a Parisian showgirl, he realizes that his adopted city has become home. As lively and winning as Peter Mayleâ??s A Year in Provence and Sarah Turnbullâ??s Almost French, A Town Like Paris evokes the beauty, delights, and charms of Paris for an ever-eager audience of armchair travelers.
