The Art of Dating Paris, Where Language Meets Chemistry
One more book connected to this special amour time of year is “The Art of Dating Paris, Where Language Meets Chemistry” by Llyane Stanfield. The Creator and Director of J’Ouellette and Oh la la French lessons, Llyane knows the French language of love and what makes the French and Paris so unique in this respect. This insightful book illustrates how knowing all French helps you become the master of romance. It also shows a parallel between American and French culture, especially the perception of the romance. If you want to learn the language of love, check out Llyane’s book, fittingly launching on February 14th!

Filled with great, useful information for visiting Paris like a local, bookmark this site, I’ll be a regular contributor so look out for more romancing in Paris.
