“If you have to consult the spellchecker every three words, it’s time to read a book”.
Les Demoiselles de Paris was born in 2010 on our beloved Facebook social network. The story began with friendship, a passion for writing, and a single goal: to make us dream and laugh without taking ourselves too seriously. The editorial line quickly took shape: to understand everyday life with the spontaneity of a 6-year-old child and the neurons of a woman with a lot on her mind. Every day, the Demoiselles de Paris are moved, annoyed, astonished and amused, and yes, they also sometimes get into trouble. That’s what being a Demoiselle is all about, in a universe that’s always poetic and offbeat. Whether you’re 20 or 60, whether you live in Lyon or Cabris (in the Alpes-Maritimes, a Demoiselle has the right not to know her geography perfectly), being a Demoiselle de Paris is above all a state of mind.
After rallying over 20,000 followers around their social networking antics, the Demoiselles de Paris have now embarked on a literary adventure, putting their freedom down on paper. “A book is someone” said a certain Victor Hugo, and that book is them. Always witty, funny and incisive , the Demoiselles de Paris draw their inspiration from the world around them (as much as from Nutella) and offer us the best of their reflections, their thoughts, their moods and all their imagination in a pamphlet destined to become a landmark in the history of thought.
“Les Demoiselles de Paris mettent les points sur les i” is on sale exclusively at Colette from May 21 and in the rest of the world from May 30.
