Un grand merci to my Paris co-writers Chris and Nicola. Merci mille fois to Julian, and all of the innumerable Parisians who offered insights and inspiration. In particular, merci beaucoup to Laurent for going above and beyond, and to Laurence for the same. Huge thanks also to Helen Elfer, Kate Morgan and everyone at LP. A heartfelt merci encore to my parents, brother, belle-sœur and neveu for sustaining my lifelong love of Paris.
