He rents an apartment in Le Marais, the heart of the city&#8217;s gay district, hardly the ideal place for a guy hoping to woo French women. He quickly settles into the French work/life balance with its mandatory lunch hour and six weeks of paid vacation. Fully embracing his newfound culture, Corbett frequents smoky cafes, appears on a television game show, hobnobs with celebrities at Cannes, and attempts to parse the nuances behind French politics and why French women really don&#8217;t get fat. When he falls in love with a Parisian showgirl, he realizes that his adopted city has become home. <br><br>As lively and winning as Peter Mayle&#8217;s <i>A Year in Provence</i> and Sarah Turnbull&#8217;s <i>Almost French</i>, <i>Sex and the City of Light</i> evokes the beauty, delights, and charms of Paris for an ever-eager audience of armchair travelers. <u><br></u> 1430414 2007 A Town Like Paris: Falling in Love in the City of Light total:73|5:9|4:16|3:38|2:7|1:3| 73 240 120 24 3 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jun 23 11:40:55 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 23 13:09:42 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Aug 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 16:52:15 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 20:46:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun May 03 15:13:20 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 15:15:20 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Aug 07 06:24:36 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 06:26:16 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 04:55:44 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 04:57:04 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Nov 19 16:05:44 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 16:04:08 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jun 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 14:13:40 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 21 19:52:00 -0700 2008
