Synopsis

PARIS - one of the most visited cities in the world.

BUT do you know ...

Which is the most romantic spot to say 'je't'aime'? And the sexiest?
Where to see fantastic art, away from all the crowds?
Why Parisian men feel compelled to pee in the street?
How to choose a hotel room where you might actually get a good night's sleep?


Stephen Clarke goes behind the scenes to reveal everything Parisians know about their city - but don't want to tell you.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Stephen Clarke lives in Paris, where he divides his time between writing and not writing.

His Merde novels have been bestsellers all over the world, including France. His non-fiction books include Talk to the Snail, an insider's guide to understanding the French; How the French Won Waterloo (or Think They Did), an amused look at France's continuing obsession with Napoleon; Dirty Bertie: An English King Made in France, a biography of Edward VII; and 1000 Years of Annoying the French, which was a number one bestseller in Britain.

Research for The French Revolution and What Went Wrong took him deep into French archives in search of the actual words, thoughts and deeds of the revolutionaries and royalists of 1789. He has now re-emerged to ask modern Parisians why they have forgotten some of the true democratic heroes of the period, and opted to idolize certain maniacs.
