The first of these is Sarah Midda's South of France: A Sketchbook.
Sarah Midda is a talented watercolor artist who documents her experiences in the South of France through sketches, collages and words that make you feel like you're there with her (and then feel depressed when you realize that you're actually just sitting on your couch in the good ole U.S. of A.)
For many more peeks into this incredible book, or to buy a copy of your very own, go here.
The other book, while not as visually appealing, is Into a Paris Quartier by Diane Johnson.
This book is all about the Left Bank neighborhood of St.-Germain in Paris, where the author lives part of the year, when she isn't in San Francisco.
She shares the stories of the famous people who have lived and died in this neighborhood, from Queen Margot to Ernest Hemingway, and shows the readers a glimpse of the rich history from which this neighborhood is woven.
You can purchase it here.
