Harriet Welty-Rochefort - Letter From Paris -
Harriet Welty-Rochefort, a bona fide Midwesterner from
Iowa, visited Paris for the first time while in
college. She became so completely enamored of
France that she stayed - and has been there ever since.
Married to a Frenchman and the mother of two
Franco-American boys, Harriet Welty-Rochefort writes
on business, lifestyle and travel for major U.S.
publications. Her book -
French Toast - is a lighthearted look at
French manners and mores.
Online
orders
as well as telephone/fax orders (1-800-387-8992 in the USA only) are possible.
It is also available at all major English language bookstores in Paris.
Writes Leslie Caron: French Toast includes the most delightful barbs at France's
subtle but deep-rooted codes of behaviour...I read the book on the EuroStar between
Paris and London and wished the train had not reached its top speed of 300 kph!

Michael O'Shea -
Michael O'Shea's Paris Journal -
Michael O'Shea, lived in
Paris for 7 years between October 1989 and April 1996 - roughly a third
of the 20 years he has lived in France. When he moved from Strasbourg,
he went to Paris pretty much as any other provincial going to the city.
Although he is not French by nationality,
he is in almost every other way, with a French
education, French body language and spoken French sans accent.
He currently lives in London.
Norman Barth -
