Book launch: 'Living Like a Parisian'

Ms. Eva Nguyen Binh, Cultural and Cooperation Counselor of the French Embassy and Director of the French Institute in Vietnam, delivered a speech at the ceremony.

There's always something mysterious about Parisian girls, with their deadly charm and effortless grace. You've noticed it for a long time, but couldn't quite explain why!

Four female authors, who are also longtime friends—Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Sophie Mas, and Caroline de Maigret—have collaborated for the first time in a book titled "Living Like a Parisian." With a lively and humorous tone, they thoroughly analyze Parisian women, a topic that never ceases to fascinate. The book comprises many short chapters, revealing even the most uncomfortable truths about their unconventional way of thinking about culture, fashion, and art.

Singer Dong Lan, a guest of the program, performed gentle and heartfelt French love songs.

In this book, Parisian women themselves define... themselves. They'll tell you how to be sexy, how to make your boyfriend jealous, how to approach weddings and the gym the right way, and they'll share their personal address book (valid within Paris) so you know where to go at night, on a birthday, on a spontaneous day, and much more…

Humorous reflections, stylish illustrations, helpful cooking and home care tips, and spontaneous photos will help you realize the truth: it's wonderful to live like a Parisian! This is not only a great gift for women but also for everyone who loves and cherishes the Parisian atmosphere.

The book "Living Like a Parisian" was launched on April 12th in collaboration with Nha Nam Publishing House, Elle Vietnam Magazine, and Alliance Maison Vietnam.
