The rich descriptions made the setting come alive, but I wonder if the author did any special research or personal visits to craft that authenticity.

While charming, some moments felt almost dreamlike—am I the only one who wondered if the story leans more towards fantasy than realism?

The setting feels so integral to the story—I'm curious whether this was a conscious decision to highlight French culture or if it just naturally evolved.
