A LITERARY ESCAPE

 

Celebrating The Parisian Heist

 
This is not a standard author event.
Not a crowded signing.
Not a tour group.

 

This is an intimate gathering of travelers, readers, and storytellers in one of the world's most beautiful cities.
 
For two immersive days in Paris, EDGE Escapes brings together story, place, and conversation — an intimate literary escape celebrating Jo Piazza's newest novel, set against one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

 MEET JO PIAZZA 

 

Jo Piazza joins us
in the city of her latest novel

 

Bestselling author Jo Piazza will be with us in Paris for an intimate experience inspired by The Parisian Heist

The evening includes cocktails at The Red Wheelbarrow — Paris's beloved English-language bookstore — followed by a private dinner cruise on the Seine with Jo for meaningful conversation, Q&A, and the stories behind The Parisian Heist.

 Meet Lindsay Tramuta

 

A Private Literary Afternoon Through Paris

Lindsay Tramuta is a Paris-based journalist, author, and one of the most trusted voices on contemporary Parisian life. Her bestselling book The New Paris has become the definitive guide to the city's cultural reinvention — and she has called Paris home for over fifteen years.

On the afternoon of September 16th, Lindsay will lead our small group on a private literary exploration of the city — hidden bookshops, Left Bank landmarks, champagne along the Seine, and the insider perspective of someone who has made Paris her life's work.

This is Paris the way most visitors never experience it.

 MEET INDIA HICKS 

 

India Hicks

Designer ·  Entrepreneur
Entertaining, with a Side of Chaos

 

India Hicks joins us in Paris to celebrate her new book.

Designer, author, and one of the most recognizable names in British style, India Hicks arrives by train from London for a brunch marking the release of Entertaining with a Side of Chaos.

The morning is built in the spirit of the book itself: a beautiful table, a great deal of conversation, and no pretense that any of it went exactly to plan.

 

MEET JANE BERTCH

 

Jane Bertch

La Cuisine Paris  ·  The French Ingredient

 

Jane Bertch is the founder of La Cuisine Paris and the author of The French Ingredient — a memoir about making a life in Paris, one lesson at a time.

She will host our group on the morning of September 17 in the spirit of her own story: intimate, Parisian, and entirely her own.

THE EXPERIENCE

 

What the Event Includes

 

BRUNCH IN PARIS WITH INDIA HICKS

Our morning begins in Saint-Germain-des-Prés at Ralph's — the restaurant inside Ralph Lauren's Left Bank townhouse, and a fitting room for a woman who spent years as one of the house's most recognizable faces. India joins us from London to celebrate Entertaining, with a Side of Chaos, at one long table, over a very good morning.


 
PARISIAN PHOTO SESSION AT LUXEMBOURG GARDENS

One of Paris's most beloved and beautiful settings — the Luxembourg Gardens — offers golden afternoon light, classic Parisian architecture, and the kind of effortless elegance that makes for truly extraordinary photographs.
