2000s: What could be better than a Christmas stroll in the city of lights?
One Christmas in Paris
What you need to know before your trail
Ava and her best friend Debs arrive in Paris just as the snow starts to fall. The Eiffel Tower glitters gold, but all Ava can think about is Leo, her no-good, cheating ex.
Debs is on a mission to make Ava smile again, and as they tour the Christmas markets, watch lamplight glittering on the river Seine, and eat their body weight in pain-au-chocolat, Ava remembers there’s more to life than men … Until they cross paths with handsome, mysterious photographer Julien with his French accent and hazelnut eyes that seem to see right inside her.
Ava can’t ignore the intense chemistry between them, but her fingers have been burned before and she can’t forget it, especially when her ex, Leo, starts texting again. Can Ava really trust Julien – and what exactly is his secret?
Travel Guide
Paris Christmas Markets
Paris at Christmas really is as wonderful as described in the novel.
The markets, the cruise on the Seine, the love locks on the bridges and those cobbled streets as the characters wander from one place to another.
The setting is strong for this is a holiday that could only be celebrated in Paris – the home of twinkling lights at the best of times, now it ‘s positively sparkling! The Eiffel Tower is more lit up than usual and it sprinkles its glowing light all over the city warming it up as it does so.
You can also feel the glow as you spend time here, and ooh you can more than taste the Camembert which floats through the air, not to mention all the other Christmassy tasty delights.
In a Paris which has been the subject of attacks and more in the past year (which the note gives a nod to) this is a lovely way to give it a festive hug.
