A part-memoir, part-travelogue, written by Jane Paech who spent 6 years living in Paris with her then husband and two young daughters. Delightful read and even if you're not planning to live there, very informative about the Parisian way of life, the "natives" and things you need to know regardless of the time you spend there. Interesting insight into the differences between the Australian and French education systems, which for one of Jane's daughters in particular proved an initially traumatic experience. It's easy to see how over the course of her sojourn in the city of light, Jane fell completely in love with the place, despite the various problems she encountered, and when it came time to leave it was a painful emotional uprooting. However she's since been back and although going back is never the same, it's always good to rediscover old haunts and potentially find new ones. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

When Australian Jane Paech moves to Paris, her visions of afternoons in bijou bistros and bookshops on the Left Bank are kept in check by the needs of a young family and a long to-do list that includes apartment-hunting, school selection, and multiple trips to IKEA. Through a collection of sharp observations, insightful travel articles and laugh-out-loud anecdotes, A Family in Parisconveys the joys and difficulties of living in this most famous of cities. It introduces us to the Parisians and their eccentricities, explores the intricate rituals of daily life, and takes us beyond the well-trodden tourist sites to the best eating spots, boutiques, museums and markets that only a local could know about. Frank, intimate and beautifully photographed, A Family in Parisis about making a home in a strange land, finding a community, and discovering the joy of renewal.
