 A Paris Year: My Day-to-Day Adventures in the Most Romantic City in the World by Janice MacLeod
A lovely portrayal of the romantic city—Janice MacLeod has a great eye for the city's beauty, capturing those precious moments that locals probably take for granted (and that an outsider never does)—Cheryl Yanek, Library Journal
Part memoir and part visual journey through the streets of modern-day Paris, France, A Paris Year chronicles, day by day, one woman’s French sojourn in the world’s most beautiful city.
Beginning on her first day in Paris, Janice MacLeod, the author of the best-selling book, Paris Letters, began a journal recording in illustrations and words, nearly every sight, smell, taste, and thought she experienced in the City of Light.
The end result is more than a diary: it’s a detailed and colorful love letter to one of the most romantic and historically rich cities on earth. Combining personal observations and anecdotes with stories and facts about famous figures in Parisian history, this visual tale of discovery, through the eyes of an artist, is sure to delight, inspire, and charm.
