Abstract
Many Americans came to Paris to play, but the vast majority had to work to live there. This chapter looks at the variety of (gendered) jobs Americans did in Paris, from those servicing the American colony itself to those marketing American specialties to the French such as dentists and jazz musicians. Americans brought bits of America with them to the French capital, even when they were not explicit Americanizers. Some, however, more explicitly set about expanding the American horizon. The American businessmen and lawyers in Paris and the indefatigable organizers of the American Chamber of Commerce were important middlemen with both governments, and they represent the Right Bank colony at its most self-aware. By the turn of the twentieth century, the American colony was being transformed from a community of the idle rich into a busy group of the working rich. They were not your average immigrant worker.
