The Movie Lover's Guide to Paris
Just recently I went to the book launch of The Movie Lover's Guide to Paris by Ruby Boukabou. It was an evening of virtual immersion along the streets and in cinemas of Paris through films set in Paris, together with author book signings. As a fan of French films, I was delighted to receive a signed copy. I've found some new classic films reviewed in the guide that I simply must watch, and a couple of fabulous 'follow in the footsteps' style self-guided walks that I can't wait to do when next in Paris.
Over breakfast the next day I showed my girlfriend the guide. It's a book "for movie buffs and Paris lovers alike, The Movie Lover’s Guide to Paris is the ultimate companion for experiencing the City of Light through the lens of cinema. With over a century of cinematic history, Paris has been a muse for filmmakers, inspiring countless poignant moments on screen. With this book you can step into the frame and experience Paris like you’re a part of the action.
