520    "A joyful, aspirational, and approachable guide to 
       embracing life the Parisian way, from American expat and 
       founder of the French lifestyle brand Madame de la Maison.
       The French are known for their joie de vivre-celebrating 
       the little things in life-a philosophy Ajiri Aki has 
       embraced over the past ten years of living in Paris. 
       Nigerian American Aki fell in love with Paris on her first
       brief visit there (only a single day) while in college. 
       With a background in fashion and having earned a master's 
       degree in decorative arts, it wasn't until she moved to 
       Paris full time that she began to absorb lessons from the 
       French: finding beauty in simple things every day, 
       decorating with fresh flowers and flea market finds, 
       taking time to find the best ingredients for a dish and 
       gathering with loved ones around the table to share a meal
       or a glass, and perhaps most importantly, learning how to 
       "être" - or just be. In this beautifully photographed 
       volume of everything French, Aki shares all she's learned 
       living in Paris, from hosting a perfect apéro (happy hour)
       to becoming a leisure-loving flâneur (loafer) in your own 
       town, to how to find and celebrate joie de vivre. Explore 
       all the prettiest Parisian cafes, plan a multi-course 
       dinner party, learn how to properly loaf like the French, 
       who work to live-rather than live to work-and allow 
       yourself to slow down and find beauty and joyful moments 
       all around you. With lush photographs of Paris's diverse 
       landscape of food, people, culture, and architecture, Joie
       makes you eager to book your next trip to the City of 
       Lights and to create that magic no matter where in the 
       world you are"--|cProvided by publisher.
