"The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see."

Lane Rosenthal, founder of Paris Off Script, returns to AFMSP for a presentation on the magic of her favorite city: Paris. Drawing from the idea of what separates travel from tourism, she'll share writing and stories from her work as a professional "Paris whisperer" - coaxing out experiences, secrets and coincidences in La Ville Lumière.

This presentation, alongside much of her writing explores topics including solo travel, le Paris quotidien, stepping out of your home culture and the joys and differences of contrasting old and new changes in Paris with every visit she makes to the city she loves so deeply.

We previously welcomed Lane Rosenthal for a presentation on “Hidden Paris“: the historical gems hiding in plain sight throughout la Ville Lumière.
Now, Lane is returning to the Alliance Française after spending the autumn in Paris to share her experiences of modern Paris and her life lived regularly between two continents.

This event will feature a presentation by Lane, including live reading from her travel writing on Paris and time for a Q&A. Refreshments will be served.

About Lane Rosenthal & Paris Off Script
Lane says that the first time she saw Paris it was un coup de foudre—love at first sight. That love has grown deeper over the years. She has lived in Paris, explored it with guides, Parisian friends, and alone. A flâneuse who strolls the city with the intent of discovery, she seeks out the uncommon in the commonplace. We are fortunate to have her share those discoveries with us!

Lane’s passion for Paris prompted her to found Paris Off Script, a travel adventure for very small groups that want to experience Paris intimately and authentically.

She says, “We are curious wanderers, enjoying the opportunity to see things with fresh eyes and forge new connections—with ideas, with other people, with ourselves.”
