Paris Revealed: The Secret Life of a City by Stephen Clarke
PARIS - one of the most visited cities in the world. BUT do you know ... Which is the most romantic spot to say 'je't'aime'? And the sexiest? Where to see fantastic art, away from all the crowds? Why Parisian men feel compelled to pee in the street? How to choose a hotel room where you might actually get a good night's sleep? Stephen Clarke goes behind the scenes to reveal everything Parisians know about their city - but don't want to tell you.
His first novel, A Year in the Merde, originally became a word-of-mouth hit in Paris in 2004. Since then it has been published all over the world, and earned Stephen a nomination for the British Book Award for Best Newcomer. The follow-up, Merde Actually, went to number one in the Bookseller chart. In 2006, he published his guide to understanding the French, Talk to the Snail, which he divided into ten 'commandments' or chapters that include Thou Shalt Not Work, Thou Shalt Not Love Thy Neighbour and Thou Shalt Not Be Served.
During his research for Merde Happens, Stephen was interviewed by the American police twice, found one real pistol, was told to have a good one 127 times, and became allergic to cranberries.
