THE BOOK
#Parisian #Guide #Laugh #Cultural #differences
Inspired by my show, The book offers you the keys to “savoir-être” and “savoir-vivre” in Paris.
For over 10 years, I’ve been teaching nearly 1 million spectators the art of being a Parisian with my show “How to Become a Parisian in One Hour”. Unfortunately, one hour isn’t enough time to cover all the situations of Parisian life in detail, so I took my pen and turned it into a book…
Provincial ? Everyday life in Paris will hold no secrets for you: From the metro to taxis, shops to restaurants, nightclubs to apartment-hunting, the arrival of a child to an extended weekend in Deauville… Once you’ve completed this fun course, you’ll be ready for real Parisian life!
Are you already a Parisian and is self-deprecation one of your qualities?
Then this guide is for you!

THE AUTHOR
Over the past 10 years, his show has become a must-see in Paris, as Olivier has trained nearly a million spectators to become perfect Parisians.
Producer, comedian and now publisher, Olivier opted for the formula which allowed him to choose his illustrator, his printer (in Brittany!), the quality of paper and above all … freedom! He naturally turned to self-publishing.
His passion ? Observing Parisians.
His mission ? Help new Parisians survive in the capital!
THE ILLUSTRATOR
After her studies in applied arts, Solène chose the profession in the early 2000s, while at the same time developing her taste for travel. Her heroines are feminine, elegant and mischievous, evolving in stylized environments and architecture. With her trendy pencil strokes and colorful universe, she captures Parisians to perfection!
Her colorful characters can be found in the French and international press, in publishing and in various projects (exhibitions, creation of objects, etc.). Solène has been drawing for as long as she can remember, and chose to devote herself to illustration and the visual arts some fifteen years ago. @solenedebies.com
THE PRINTER
Since the start of this great adventure, the priority has been to offer a 100% French product.
