I have read so many books on Paris lately, mostly history books so I could write my series on the liberation of Paris – I learned so much that was never told me in school. Of course books on the history of France or Paris are not the types people like to read if traveling there. I am just finishing “Paris Noir – African Americans in the City of Light” by Tyler Stovall. It’s about the great number of African Americans moving to Paris after WWI because of racism in the US. But here again, it is about history – not the type of books that your readers would enjoy I guess.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-57987052854680555422014-09-24T01:16:50.659+10:002014-09-24T01:16:50.659+10:00These look great!

At the moment my 'France' book is Kathe Lison's The Whole Fromage, which I suspect is going to be both fascinating (cheese, cheese, cheese) and annoying (constant stilted Dan Brown-type physical descriptions of people, like "a super-slim brunette" or "petite and a tad plump in a pleasant way". What, no super-slim in an unpleasant way? ;-) I am probably being harsh... skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-59427392963177324542014-09-23T14:13:42.044+10:002014-09-23T14:13:42.044+10:00So far, I've read My Life in Paris by Julia Ch...So far, I've read My Life in Paris by Julia Child.

I've read so many books about Paris that I like more. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to follow your trip to Paris.
