There are so many different books you could read in preparation for a trip to Paris. I was a little surprised that most of my recent favorites are memoir/biography and non-fiction, but this list also has four novels set in the City of Lights.
Last year I made a list of some of my favorite books set in Paris, and today I’m recommending four more books that capture some aspect of Paris—food, diplomacy, neighborhoods—through the eyes of the expat or traveler.
