JOIE

JOIE: A Parisian’s Guide to Celebrating the Good Life was a dream project. I followed my good friend, Ajiri Aki, around France, visiting her favorite cafés, gardens, galleries, vineyards, and all. In this book of everything French, Ajiri shares what she’s learned about living in Paris—from hosting the perfect apéro (happy hour) to lingering around town like a flâneur (loafer) to thrifting for antiques at the market. Most importantly, she shows us how to savor the spontaneous, joyful moments that happen every day.
