Finding Love In Paris! Part One

No, I am not talking about me. Not yet anyway!

But I am a sucker for a love story, especially for one where someone did find true love in Paris.

Here is a book I highly recommend.  New York Times bestseller Paris Letters by Janice MacLeod.

Honestly, this is one of my favourite books ever! In fact, I was so taken with Janice’s story that I contacted her before I made a trip to Paris to tell her so.  She had by then moved back to North America.

I took a full day in Paris and traced the events of Janice’s life there. I meandered down the street, rue Mouffetard, where she lived, visiting the butcher shop where she met the love of her life, and had lunch at the restaurant where they got married.

This enthralling true story has all the elements of a fascinating read — providing a stunning snapshot of daily life in Paris, a most unusual love story, along with an unexpected but very creative personal reinvention —  all of which takes place on one wonderful Paris street.

Here is how Amazon describes Janice’s story:

“How much money does it take to quit your job?”

“Exhausted and on the verge of burnout, Janice poses this question to herself as she doodles on a notepad at her desk as a copy editor in California. Surprisingly, the answer isn’t as daunting as she expected. With a little math and a lot of determination, Janice cuts back, saves up, and buys herself two years of freedom in Europe.”

“A few days into her stop in Paris, Janice meets Christophe, the cute butcher down the street-who doesn’t speak English. And Janice does not speak French!”

 

 

“Through a combination of sign language and “franglais”, they embark on a whirlwind Paris romance. She soon realizes that she can never return to the world of twelve-hour workdays and greasy corporate lingo. But her dwindling savings force her to find a way to fund her dreams again. (This part is super cool!) So Janice turns to her three loves-words, art, and Christophe-to figure out a way to make her happily-ever-after in Paris last forever.”

 

 

Take it from me — you will love this enchanting tale!

And I must send Janice a personal thank you.
