Although I haven’t been to Paris in a while, I can always return through the classic and contemporary books set in and around the city of lights. When I studied abroad in Paris, friends and family rattled off their favorite books and related locations around the city for me to visit during my time there. Audrey Hepburn’s oft-quoted line “Paris is always a good idea” is also probably an influence. Many great novelists of the American literary canon spent time in the winding streets of Parisian arrondissements. It was founded in 1669 by Louis XIV as the Acadmie d'Opra, and shortly thereafter was placed under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Lully and officially renamed the Acadmie Royale de Musique, but continued to be known more simply as the Opra. American-in-Paris stories are an extremely popular genre of books about Paris, probably because of all the writers who moved to Paris and became enchanted with the city and its beautiful bookish locations. The Paris Opera (French: Opra de Paris, IPA: opea d pai ()) is the primary opera and ballet company of France. However you feel about the American-in-Paris romcom show Emily in Paris, it’s a very romanticized look at the city. It is also one of the most romanticized cities. Books set in Paris are still published constantly. From Victor Hugo to Simone de Beauvoir to James Baldwin, some of the greatest stories and philosophy have originated in the historic cafés and restaurants.
Paris is also a literary haven, full of bookstores, bars, and cafés where some of the most famous authors in the world sat and worked on great literature. One of Paris’s main nicknames is the City of Lights.
