An account of a Francophile's haphazard relocation to Paris in spite of his lack of French fluency describes how the region considerably differed from his expectations and the ways in which he tapped his American optimism to overcome cultural challenges. By the author of You Lost Me There. 40,000 first printing.

Rosencrans Baldwin has loved Paris since he was a little boy and when he is given an opportunity to move to Paris and work there, he is jubilant. Reality of life in Paris sets in quickly, unfortunately, and he finds he doesn't know as much French as he thought he did, his apartment is a loud construction zone, and Parisian government workers and business owners can be intimidating.
Fortunately for all of us who are secretly rooting for Paris, Baldwin perseveres and his Love for Paris (I'm not really giving anything away if you know anything about Paris) wins out.
Baldwin writes well (something that is not always true of people who write Paris Stories) so that gives Paris I Love You additional points.
