The Parisian café is an integral part of the city's daily life no matter the weather, the time of day or year, the mood or neighbourhood. It is the spirit of the café, the dance of the waiters, the camaraderie of the patrons, the perpetual movement and joy, that brings Joanie Osburn to share a dollop of history, a shot of insight, and a boatload of images that celebrate the Paris café as a cultural heritage worth celebrating and preserving.

Café Society: Time Suspended, The Cafés, & Bistros of Paris is neither a history book nor a cookbook, but a non-traditional travel guide, coffee table, and lifestyle book about a treasured lifestyle. Osburn's unique perspective, honed over many decades as an American in Paris exploring and capturing images of café society, captivates and amuses with anecdotes and insider recommendations.

Café Society: Time Suspended, The Cafés, and Bistros of Paris is a book that matters now as the world reopens and eager travellers return to Paris. The spirit of the café brings Joanie Osburn to share a dollop of history, a shot of insight, and a boatload of images that celebrate the Paris café as a cultural heritage worth preserving.
