Here's a listopia of books that take place in Paris. I haven't read any in which that was the main setting. At least not that I remember. Hope this helps. I think I have Black Girl in Paris on my tbr list as well.

Onni It depends what you like, but I would reccomend:

The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris by David McCullough, excellent.

Also, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, wonderfully written.

Beverly Half Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan
I enjoyed this story, very well written and it was nominated/won several awards.

Encounters in Paris: A Collection of Short Stories by Carolyn Moncel
well-done short stories

Passing Love by Jacqueline E. Luckett
well-crafted

The Book of Lost Fragrances by M.J. Rose
Has several books set in Paris - suspense, love, and fragrance are usually part of the storylines.

I liked all three of those books, but, honestly, All the Light We Cannot See was better than all of them. The plot is fine, maybe even just OK, but the writing is fantastic--words strung together in ways that are imaginative and beautiful, even.
