Books to Transport You to Paris

Rebecca, I love your blog!
I’d like to invite you and your readers to take a look at my newest book – "Carousels of Paris." The American Library in Paris has decided to place it in its permanent collection—a real honor, and we couldn’t be more pleased. (And Dorie Greenspan let me know how much she liked it!). It’s a photo essay book which captures the colorful motion of everyday life in the City of Light while chronicling the history and characteristics of these unique attractions.

‘The Red Notebook’ is a fun little novel that reads like a Hallmark Channel movie. I read a translated copy in English (the translators are British, making certain vocabulary choices fun), and then I bought the French edition at a bookstore in Paris.
‘The Paris Key’ (contemporary fiction by Juliet Blackwell) made me look forward to visiting the Village Saint-Paul and searching for the locksmith’s shop!
‘I Always Loved You’ (historical fiction by Robin Oliveria) was a perfect read before my first trip to Paris. It’s about all the Impressionists, but most specifically focuses on the relationship between Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas. The writing and vernacular are spot-on!
‘The Beautiful American’ (historical fiction by Jeanne Mackin) felt really transportive. Largely set in Paris but also in Provence, this novel seemed more "French" to me than ‘The Paris Wife’ (in terms of painting images of bygone Paris and feeling immersive).
I read ‘The Paris Hours,’ ‘The Paris Wife,’ and ‘A Moveable Feast,’ just this year and have reviews of each on my Instagram (such search for the book covers) at @lyninchi.

Thank you for the list!
I recently read The Margot Affair by Sanaë Lemoine. I also recommend Paris by Edward Rutherfurd.
