An Englishman in Paris: L'Education Continentale

A delightful account of an Englishman-turned-Parisian's first year in the French capital, An Englishman in Paris is a Michael Sadler's tribute to this beloved city. Although born in a small town in the south of England, Michael Sadler discovered his real home in Paris. In An Englishman in Paris, he chronicles his first year there, affectionately describing the city's idiosyncrasies and his joy in Parisian culture. Sadler's bemusement with the etiquette of buying flowers, the role of cricket in French foreplay, and the danger "black butter" presents to both cholesterol levels and dry-cleaning bills emerge in this brilliant and charming travel memoir.
