Art de Vivre à la Française
What is the French Art de Vivre, really?
Beyond croissants and chic interiors lie deeper social values, contradictions, aesthetics, and subtle codes of being.
Written by Alessandra Violet-Vianello and Emmanuelle Mordacq, this book unpacks 10 key notions behind this enduring way of life, blending everyday sociology with cultural insight.
“The initiative stemmed from a sociological ambition: to define and analyze the French Art de Vivre so frequently highlighted by brands. The central question emerged: can this concept be effectively optimized?”
