An Englishman in Paris: L'education Continentale

by Michael Sadler · 2002

+ Want to read

An Englishman in Parisis Michael Sadler's delightful account of his first year in the French capital, describing with alternate affection and bemusement such continental confusions as the etiquette of flower-buying, the role of cricket in French foreplay, and the dangers "black butter" presents not just to one's cholesterol levels but also to dry-cleaning bills. Beautifully observed and very funny, An Englishman in Paris will delight armchair travellers and Francophiles alike.
