About This Book

Un Parisien raconte son installation à Lyon et ses étonnements, proposant une sorte de guide des mœurs et usages locaux destiné aux étrangers souhaitant s'intégrer. Le texte combine portraits croisés, conseils pratiques et observations sociales pour expliquer les règles implicites et les contradictions de la haute société lyonnaise. L'auteur privilégie une description fidèle plutôt que la satire, en composant des types plausibles à partir de traits divers, et alterne ironie mesurée et ton didactique pour prévenir les erreurs de langage et de conduite.
