The true star of this collection of poetic essays is Paris itself. The city reveals its secrets to Cole at every turn, and he in turn shows them to us. From the café with an Old-World atmosphere frequented by Hemingway to the paint shop where Cezanne and Monet bought supplies, this is a Paris bursting with art and culture. Cole’s vivid prose and the photos that accompany it let us imagine ourselves sitting at the table sipping coffee or wandering the cobble streets with him, and his candid description of each day provides plenty of fodder for dreaming of a Paris trip of your own.
