About this ebook
“An enchanting story of love lost and found in the world’s most romantic city . . . part romance, part mystery, part travelogue, and a satisfyingly good read.” —Booklist
As the owner of Cinéma Paradis, Alain Bonnard prizes quality above all. His Parisian art cinema offers no buckets of popcorn or Hollywood blockbusters. His standards may be bad for business, but he likes his small crowd of cinephiles. Particularly the enchanting, shy woman who turns up every Wednesday in row 17.
When Alain plucks up courage to invite the unknown beauty to dinner, the most tender of love stories begins. But then something incredible happens: The Cinéma Paradis is chosen to be the location of a great director’s newest film—a film that will star the famous French actress Solène Avril.
As Alain is overwhelmed by the sudden fame and his encounters with Solène, the mystery woman from row 17 seems to vanish. Is this just coincidence? In One Evening in Paris, Alain sets off in search of her and becomes part of a story more delightful than anything the cinema has to offer.

NICOLAS BARREAU was born in Paris, the son of a French father and a German mother. He studied romance languages and literature at the Sorbonne and worked in a bookshop on the Rive Gauche in Paris but is far from an inexperienced bookworm. With his other successful novels, The Ingredients of Love, The Woman of My Life and You'll Find Me at the End of the World, he has gained an enthusiastic audience. One Evening in Paris is his second novel.
