"On the streets of Paris' most carnal of all cities" walk a enigmatic man and a young German would have to improve their French. Lotte, she wants to discover the "true life" of the city, and her companion provided in wonder, to help in the initiation. The year is 1912 and Paris live a moment of naive and overwhelming happiness is a haven for bohemian artists and writers of a thousand different languages, crazy women and their husbands bourgeois (or vice versa). However, the First World War soon put an end to this brutal festival, and Lotte and his companion seem sense and, between champagne and streamers, the cracks of time and a life apart.
"So begins a story that we know today, curiously, much more than its author could sense when he published this book in 1920. The reader will no doubt recall Jules and Jim: novel François Truffaut became one of the great films of French cinema , and which continues the story that we are told in Romance in Paris. In the book the reader has in his hands begins por tanto uno de los triángulos amorosos que han marcado el imaginario europeo del siglo XX: Franz Hessel, que será Jules; Henri-Pierre Roché, que será Jim; y, entre ambos, Lotte, esa mujer tan vivaz como arrebatadora a la que ya siempre recordaremos gracias a la verisón cinematográfica de Truffaut, con el rostro de Jeanne Moreau .
Romance en París es por tanto el origen de una historia de amor autobiográfica, una novela en forma de carta en la que el autor, Franz Hessel , le habla por primera vez a su amigo Roché de esa mujer fascinante, a la que éste último aún no conoce, pero de la que también caerá enamorado".
