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?

"Our Own Piece of Paris" is a hilarious love-song to the most stylish city in the world.
