The work aims to provide useful information to English travelers visiting Paris, covering aspects such as historical, political, and cultural insights, alongside practical advice for navigating the city and interacting with locals while avoiding tourist traps. Hervé endeavors to blend useful knowledge with an engaging narrative to enhance the visitor's experience. The opening of the book sets the tone for a practical companion designed for English visitors to Paris. Hervé expresses his aim to alleviate common grievances among travelers, notably the challenges of dealing with Parisian shopkeepers and cultural misunderstandings. He emphasizes the importance of a positive demeanor when interacting with the French, warning against national prejudice that may hinder one's experience.
