    If you like mysteries, the Aimee Leduc mystery series by Cara Black all take place in Paris. My favorite is her first - Murder in the Marais.

    I loved your list. I thought I had read so many books about Paris, and then I saw your list and realized maybe I haven't. :) I really need to read The Paris Wife. I just haven't yet.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Love your choice of topic! I've only read Anna and the French Kiss, but I watched the film about Julia Child, so I will definitely bear her book in mind! Thanks for stopping by the blog. :)

    Haven't read any of these. Two books I'd add to my Paris list would be Die for Me and Revolution (at least I think they're both set in Paris). Great list though!

    Thanks for visiting my Top Ten.

    I've only read Anna and Madeline on your list. Die for Me by Amy Plum really made Paris come alive for me.

    So many fabulous Paris books! I was worried that I wouldn't have read any at the start of the list. Thankfully I have! I've read a few, and want to read the rest. Hopefully we can add Zazie in the Metro to the list very shortly....

    Aaah, after my little sister visited Paris, and I read Anna, I'm rather enthralled by the city! I definitely want to visit it (and the French countryside).
    And I didn't know Madeline was a book! I used to watch the animation when I was little.
    Will definitely check these out.

    Revolt of the Angels by Anatole France I believe is set in Paris.

    I think Madeline is the one that started my love affair with this city when I was a child. Have you read any of Cara Black's mysteries-they all take place throughout Paris.

    I don't think I ever commented on this list but I love it! I've been reading a lot of books set in France lately as part of a reading challenge I'm participating in but prior to that I have enjoyed a number of titles you listed there (Suite Francaise, The Paris Wife, The Elegance of a Hedgehog, The Three Musketeers, Madeline (!!!))
