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

by **Jeanne Damas** (Author), **Lauren Bastide** (Author)

**"If the Internet could create its version of the perfect girl, Jeanne Damas would probably be her. . . . She's nailed that French girl _je ne sais quoi._" --_Vogue_**

A window on the world's most stylish city, with more than 100 full-color photos and profiles of 20 diverse and inspiring Parisian women, by "the coolest, most beautiful French girl in France" (_GQ_) and a former editor in chief of French _Elle_

"We've always been crazy in love with this city. . . . We love its arrogance, its clumsiness, its simplicity. And especially the women who live here."

Two quintessential Parisian women--model and fashion designer Jeanne Damas and journalist Lauren Bastide--shine a spotlight on twenty real-life women of Paris, dispelling the myth that there's only one type of Parisian woman and introducing us to the city that real _Parisiennes_ live in. They're booksellers, singers, writers, activists, and antique dealers; they live in small studios, spacious apartments, or houseboats; their ages range from fourteen to seventy . . . and all embody the effortless chic and insouciant spirit of the legendary Parisian woman.

_In Paris_ takes us into these women's lives, telling us about their careers, families, favorite nightlife spots, shopping habits, and beloved books and films. Full-color photos taken by Jeanne herself accompany charming lists of advice on the French _art de vivre_\--from the best places to people-watch with a glass of wine after work to the perfect Parisian playlist to the ten things that a French woman would never, ever post on Instagram. Witty, elegant, and modern, _In Paris_ is an ode to Paris through the eyes of its eternally cool women--for everyone who has ever dreamed of one day living in Paris.
