Un guide de voyage et un livre d’histoire sur Paris qui explique comment les expositions universelles de 1855 à 1937 ont façonné la ville, de son architecture à ses coutumes (culinaires). Paris est la mémoire physique des sept expositions universelles qui se sont déroulées dans la ville de 1855 à 1937. Ces expositions ont laissé derrière elles des monuments comme la tour Eiffel, le musée d’Orsay, le Grand et le Petit Palais... Mais de nombreuses traces sont plus subtiles : votre valise d’aujourd’hui est une évolution de la malle avec laquelle Louis Vuitton a remporté une médaille d’or à l’Exposition universelle de Paris en 1867, et les chaises de bistrot typiquement parisiennes ont été conçues pendant ces années où une multitude de cafés et de restaurants ont euri grce aux Expos, y compris des icônes comme Le Procope. Cocktail de guide de voyage et de livre d’histoire, Nobody Sits Like the French raconte ces histoires et bien d’autres encore, en soulignant les traces laissées par les Expos. Désormais, vous saurez que chaque fois que vous siroterez un verre de bourgogne, que vous boirez dans du cristal de Baccarat, que vous admirerez un Manet ou un Gauguin, et que vous profiterez même des avantages d’un système d’égouts en état de marche à Paris, vous le devrez à une exposition universelle qui s’y est déroulée.
