In Paris: 20 Women on Life in the City of Light

For everyone who has ever dreamed of living in Paris, here is a window on the world’s most stylish city by two quintessential Parisian women: Jeanne Damas, the model and fashion designer whom GQ called “the coolest, most beautiful French girl in France,” and Lauren Bastide, producer and host of feminist podcast La Poudre and former editor in chief of French Elle.

Profiles of twenty diverse and inspiring women – artists, activists, booksellers, and filmmakers, aged fourteen to seventy, living in tiny attic studios, grand apartments, or houseboats-are accompanied by more than 100 full-colour photographs as well as tips on secret Parisian hideaways and the French art de vivre: from the five types of red wine to order depending on the occasion, and the bars to drink them in, to the best red lipsticks and places to be kissed. Witty, elegant, and modern, In Paris dispels the myth that there is only one type of Parisian woman while embodying the effortless chic and insouciant spirit that give Paris its everlasting allure.
