WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS - American Tourists in France Since 1930, by Harvey Levenstein, the sequel to his "Seductive Journey: American Tourists in France From Jefferson to the Jazz Age"

"(O)ur love affair with Paris specifically and France generally has had its sour moments and even its periods of separation, but the pull Paris exercises on Americans goes back to Lafayette and is felt even by those who've never been there, thanks to movies ("An American in Paris") and popular songs ("I Love Paris") and the vast mythological edifice that has been constructed around the world's most beautiful, elegant and alluring city."

1. Article interessant. Peut-être trop ouvertement francophile pour être

considéré comme fiable aux yeux de ceux qui continuent de penser qu'ils vont forcément se faire maltraiter en tant qu'américains par ces "ungrateful backstabbing french bastards"... Tant pis pour eux, de toutes façons, il faut être honnète, leur compagnie ne nous manque pas...
