Ma Vie à Paris (4th Edition)

Still in the form of a thick, gilt-edged novel, this fourth edition of Ma Vie à Paris (My Life in Paris), the only travel guide printed on letterpress, has been considerably enriched. There are no fewer than two hundred new addresses, new venues and meticulous updates on prices, opening times, atmosphere and decor.

The two creators, Ivan and Benoît, have devoted special pages to cabarets, wonderful places not just for tourists: institutions such as the Comédie Française, theatres, second-hand bookstalls, and restaurants open on Sunday and Monday evenings. As always, they have focused on craftsmanship and exceptional secret addresses. This latest edition features a thick central section of photos, like a book within a book, a new cover design and 416 pages.

Designed to look like a classic French novel rather than a gaudy tourist guidebook, Ma Vie A Paris is a must-have for Francophiles. It is printed traditionally, in one of the oldest typographic printing presses still in production in France, using high-bulk paper and lead blocks. Exuding Parisian good taste, the book offers an in-depth guide to the chicest and most beguiling areas of the city. Even the most passionate of Paris-lovers will find some curious and unexpected new spots to visit in this sleek tome.

Soft cover, with gilded edges. Includes slip-cover, and fleamarket guide supplement.

Size: 185 × 135 × 38 mm.
