What do the French do better than anyone else? How do you adapt the French joie-de-vivre to your own life? Ajiri Aki shares it all in her new book Joie: A Parisian's Guide to Celebrating the Good Life (Clarkson Potter).

Join me for a cup of coffee or a gobelet of vin rouge at the Portes Ouvertes Montreuil. I’ll be hanging new large-scale watercolor work and selling books and other merchandise. And explore all the other artist studios in the storied Usine Chapal.
