This book is an account of our experiences as a new residents of Paris, France. After many years of visiting Paris and traveling across France for several weeks with my husband and children, Raúl and I decided in 2001 to finally buy an apartment in Paris and spend there a good part of the year as full-time residents.We were lucky to find an apartment at the Boulevard Raspail, which was available after the American Embassy decided to move most of its personnel to a new building in the 8th arrondisement, on the northwest corner of the Place de la Concorde. Within 2 months, we had our 2-bedroom, 200 m2 apartment fully furnished, on a secure Hausmann building on Boulevard Raspail near Montparnasse Boulevard, in the 6th arrondisement. We were lucky to find it and own it; it had ample rooms, natural light, calm floors, fabulous location and proximity to public trans-portation, on a building decorated by Léonard Tsuguharu Fujita, the great Japanese-French painter who shared the spotlight in the 1920s with Picasso, Miró, Modigliani and many other masters of the XX century.I was equally lucky to be invited to intern at a restaurant owned by Michelin Master Jöel Robuchon and his Chef de Cuisine Eric Lecerf during my stay, and had lunch with them every day, as Raúl began a new vocation as a writer of history books, of which by 2022 he had published over 36 good sellers.This is a narrative of our Parisian seven-year adventure in the City of Lights, during which time we had as our guests our entire families and numerous friends that shared with us their enthusiasm for France and its splendid and glorious capital.
