Paris, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down

Rosecrans Baldwin had always dreamed of living in Paris, ever since vacationing there when he was nine. So he couldn't refuse an offer to work at a Parisian ad agency - even though he had no experience in advertising and hardly spoke French. But the Paris that Rosecrans and his wife, Rachel, arrived in wasn't the romantic city he remembered, and over the next eighteen months, his dogged American optimism was put to the test: at work (where he wrote booklets on breastfeeding), at home (in the hub of a massive construction project), and at every confusing dinner party in between. A hilarious and refreshingly honest take on life in one of the world's most beloved cities, Paris, I Love You is a book about a young man whose preconceptions are usurped by the oddities of a vigorous, nervy metropolis - which is just what he needs to fall in love with Paris a second time.
