"Satori in Paris", a 1966 novel by Jack Kerouac.

A short, semi-autobiographical tale of a man who travels to Paris, then Brittany to do research on his genealogy. Kerouac relates his trip in a tumbledown fashion as a lonesome traveller. Little is said about the research that he does, and much more about his interactions with the French people he meets. It should be noted that although Kerouac was fluent in a form of French called Joual, Kerouac's French would not only have been heavily accented, but would also have contained hundreds of odd words that would mark him as a foreigner to the French.
