As seen in The New York Times—discover what French women know about embracing that irresistible joie de vivre. We all know that French women don't get fat.

From savoring the everyday beauty around you to engaging in captivating conversations, playing dress-up, hosting impromptu dinner parties under the stars, and of course mastering the art of French flirting, the lively and inspiring lessons in this 'syllabus' will help you rediscover your beautiful, fierce, romantic, engaging best self—to attract the best of everything into your life.

Reviews

 • "We can’t all live in Paris, but Jamie Cat Callan has shown us in her effervescent new book how to bring a little Paris into our own lives. Enchanting, wise, full of esprit—and delectable as a Laduree macaron."—Karen Karbo, author of The Gospel According to Coco Chanel;
 •  “In this lively and upbeat book, Jamie Cat Callan inspires the reader to grasp the true meaning of charm – often described as ‘giving delight.’ A related concept, etiquette, also brings forth delight by focusing on respect and consideration. Charm and etiquette: two powerful and necessary foundations for building positive relationships in today’s hectic world.” —Peggy Post, The Emily Post Institute;
 •  "A book full of grace, charm, and that truest of feminine virtues, intelligence. The subtitle for this book should be: 'Smart girls get more!'"—Elizabeth Bard, author of Lunch in Paris, Picnic in Provence, and Chez Moi.
