Je t’aime… moi non plus (translated as “I Love you… me neither) is a song by rebellious French rock icon, Serge Gainsbourg. Racy, intense and contradictory, the song’s title epitomizes the relationship the French have with romance (love, lust or otherwise). Paris is supposed to be the eternal city of amour, and it can be. This has now led to two books: Je T’Aime, Me Neither (the namesake of the website) and Je T’Aime… Maybe?.
The blog started as an extension of Lily’s first book and has since morphed into the only website dedicated to unique and cool date ideas in Paris and around the globe with articles on insider events, secret places, original tours, romantic hotels/bars/restaurants and other things to do that go beyond the standard tourist agenda. She also shares dating tips, good places to meet people and fun dating mishaps.
The Je T’Aime, Me Neither site has had a number of accolades including winning Best Blog in Paris 2018 in the annual Expatriates Magazine contest and was chosen as the #1 Paris website by EXPATS Paris.
Many gifted people helped with the books and blog. Their patience and talents were much appreciated, here is a short list:
Book Editorial Team: There’s Only One Paris was edited by Susan Romig. Je T’Aime, Me Neither and Je T’Aime Maybe? were edited Samantha Mehra, but unofficial editorial kudos must also go to Natasha Frid and Katrin Holt Dubreuil. Other special editorial and advice acknowledgements are listed in each book.
Cover Design: The beautiful covers of Je T’Aime, Me Neither and Je T’Aime… Maybe? and the interior images were designed by the talented graphic designer Aurélie Dhuit.
Website Design: The Je T’Aime, Me Neither website was redesigned in mid-2015 by the creative Emilia Farrace of Simple Elaborate.
