Two weeks, the two of us, nine million Parisians, no contest... This delightful and compelling account of one couple's attempt to buy their dream flat in Paris is a perfect summer read.Paris has seduced many, but for Ellie Nielsen it's true love. So deep is her infatuation that, if she can't have it all to herself she simply has to buy her own little piece of it. The object of her desire seems so simple: the sort of apartment she's seen a thousand times in magazines and books. Something effortlessly charming, and old, and quirky - and beautifully done up. A place exuding character and Parisian chic. Something quintessentially French. The only trouble is that she has just 2 weeks in which to realise her fantasy - can she negotiate a deal in a foreign language without offending the French? Is it possible - or just a ridiculous fantasy? French phrasebook in hand, plucking up her reserves of savoir faire, and accompanied by her ever-tolerant husband and her young son, Ellie embarks on an adventure. "Our Own Piece of Paris" is a hilarious love-song to the most stylish city in the world.
