What book gets you excited for Paris?

Looking for something to read on the plane over...not a travel guide, but what books have you read that really get you in the mood for Paris? (Histories, first person accounts of being transformed by the city, etc.)

This is actually for any readers on the forum. I just finished a nice little book called %26quot;April in Paris%26quot;. It is fairly new. It%26#39;s translated from the German original. The author is Michael Wallner. It is one of those impossible love stories set in Paris in WWII. It%26#39;s a good, unsentimental, read. And not even one mention of the Eiffel Tower...

A while back I read the Tale of Two Cities. If you have not read it, it is not for just reading on the way over. The first half takes some work to get through. But after that it is a fascinating story.
