I'm a British author living in Paris. I'm the author of books like A Year in the Merde and 1000 Years of Annoying the French. My latest novel is The Spy Who Inspired Me. Others along similar lines you might like to read are Merde Actually, Dial M for Merde (you have probably spotted a French theme here), Merde in Europe, How the French Won Waterloo (Or Think They Did), Talk to the Snail. Then there's Death Goes Viral (a sadly topical novel) and Elizabeth II, Queen of Laughs, which I wrote because my French publishers wanted a funny book about "la Reine". Then there's Paris Revealed, visiting my favourite secret parts of the city. Dirty Bertie, an English King Made in France, about Edward VII's antics on the continent. That's all I can think of at the moment. Oh, Merde Happens, The Merde Factor. There might be more. A Brief History of the Future, a comedy about how Trekkies might take over the world, or at the very least Bournemouth. That's about it.
