Sex and the City with a French accent.
France-based Platt, former New York Post journalist turned intercultural consultant, puts her investigative skills to work, and Love à la française sparkles with bona fide reports from the trenches. Bolstered with interviews and tidbits from local lady-killers and charmers extraordinaire (including France’s answer to Brad Pitt, Thierry Lhermitte), the result is Sorbonne-worthy tutelage on the history of French seduction – a no holds barred glimpse into the French male psyche.

What are American women up against?
As Platt researches the challenges we face with French romance and competition with the savviest and most elegant women on the planet, she also reveals some universal secrets. Drawing upon the experiences of historic seductresses and innovators, the Coco Chanels and George Sands who shaped French femininity and gallantry, Platt ultimately exposes the intricacies of French seduction and love in the City of Light... and what makes French relationships tick.
