A Paris Year: My Day-to-Day Adventures in the Most Romantic City in the World

An illustrated journal by the New York Times-bestselling author of Dear Paris. “Every page offers a tempting taste of Paris and its allure. Très charmant.” ―USA Today

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 bestselling 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.

“I thought there’d be no way she could outdo herself, but I was so wrong! . . . it’s the type of book you beg and plead and hope will never end.” ―Susan Blumberg-Kason, author of Bernardine’s Shanghai Salon

“[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 Paris guidebook/part memoir/part visual candy store. As much a treat for the eyes as for the soul. A Paris Year is a must for anyone who loves Paris.” ―Lisa Anselmo, author of My (Part-Time) Paris Life
