Vincent Van Gogh once said, "There is but one Paris." In Arabella Dubois' experience with Paris and the French culture, she would agree that the city of Paris is life-changing in so many ways. She has learned how to live a more beautiful and fulfilling life, and it has brought much more happiness to everyday life. The French work to live instead of living to work; they truly embrace life in so many wonderful ways that are discussed within "Paris, More Than a Fairytale." 'Joie de vivre'—the joy of living—is seen everywhere: in the cafés, the shops, the pâtisseries, the tea rooms, and the restaurants. It is something truly invigorating! People in France truly live, and it inspires Arabella to want to live better. She once saw a poster that said if you love life, you will love France. Throughout her life, she has yearned and searched for ways to live a more beautiful, fulfilling life, and she found what she was looking for in France. Within "Paris, More Than a Fairytale," Arabella touches on cultural differences and other intriguing facts that have fascinated her. She shares stories about her adventures in Paris, stories that make the city and the people come alive. Writing this book has been a deeply personal journey on numerous levels. She asked herself, "Why do people love Paris so much? What is the allure of Paris, France that draws people back in, and why it is the most visited city and country in the world?" Arabella is excited to share what she learned and how France changed her life.
