Harvey Levenstein. We'll Always Have Paris: American Tourists in France Since 1930. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. 2004. Pp. xiv, 382. $35.00.

The enduring clash between Francophiles and Francophobes among Americans in general and tourists in particular is the subject of this entertaining book. A sequel to Harvey Levenstein's Seductive Journey: American Tourists in France from Jefferson to the Jazz Age (1998), this volume focuses on the period from 1930 to the present. Ultimately, it testifies to a sustained Franco-American cultural tension. For long, French observers, even those preoccupied by the tourist dollar, have been torn between the siren calls of anti-Americanism and a grudging admiration of American inventiveness and openness. For long, American travellers from first class to steerage have wavered between outrage at French rudeness and deceit and a grudging admiration of French creativity and style. In this apparently eternal sense, Levenstein's research elevates plus ça change to orthodoxy.
