A Little Bit of Paris Author: [France] Jean-Jacques Sempé Translator: Huang Xiaotu Publisher: Shanghai Translation Publishing House

★ A masterpiece by French national treasure cartoonist Sempé, a little bit of Paris, a little bit of romance, a little bit of leisure, a little bit of escape

★ The charm of Paris lies in its cafes, on the banks of the Seine, in its nameless alleys, and in the lives of ordinary people.

If you lived in A Little Bit of Paris, you would...

Stop on the street for a moment, watch the traffic accident, run across the road with the crowd before the green light changes, cleverly avoid passers-by walking their dogs, turn into the alley, say hello to an old lady basking in the sun, look up and see two neighbors chatting happily across the railing, then cross the bridge over the Seine, catch a glimpse of a lady returning from the shopping mall with a lot of things, walk into a busy cafe, and meet a girl who is imitating Simone de Beauvoir writing a letter.

Sempé uses a gentle and humorous brush to sketch hundreds of scenes of life of Parisians, allowing people to experience the infinite charm of Paris in every detail.
