Reading Melmoth furieux by Sabrina Calvo. It's set in Paris, in an alternate history nineties. There's a new Commune holed up in Belleville, fighting authoritarian capitalism, and a detention center under Disneyland Paris (or as it was called at the time, Eurodisney). Lots of nods to pop culture, 19th century writers (Hugo, etc.) and to medieval poet and robber François Villon.

Thinking about it, I don't think I've read any alternate history set in Paris apart from Melmoth. I've been meaning to read Parij by Eric Faye, and the first installment of Larispem, at least, but haven't yet. I *have* read The House of Shattered Wings, which I guess is more fantasy than alternate history. 2y
