Publisher's Synopsis
The Parisian cafe´ is an integral part of the city's daily life no matter the weather, the time of day or year, the mood or neighbourhood. It is the spirit of the cafe´, the dance of the waiters, the camaraderie of the patrons, the perpetual movement and joy, that brings Joanie Osburn to share a dollop of history, a shot of insight, and a boatload of images that celebrate the Paris cafe´ as a cultural heritage worth celebrating and preserving.
Café Society: Time Suspended, The Cafés, & Bistros of Paris is neither a history book nor a cookbook, but a non-traditional travel guide, coffee table, and lifestyle book about a treasured lifestyle. Osburn's unique perspective, honed over many decades as an American in Paris exploring and capturing images of café society, captivates and amuses with anecdotes and insider recommendations.
Cafe´ Society: Time Suspended, The Cafe´s, and Bistros of Paris is a book that matters now as the world reopens and eager travellers return to Paris. The spirit of the cafe´ brings Joanie Osburn to share a dollop of history, a shot of insight, and a boatload of images that celebrate the Paris cafe´ as a cultural heritage worth preserving.
