Jan Bernardus (Jan) Brusse (1921–1996) was a Dutch journalist, columnist, writer, radio storyteller, and program maker. Born into a prominent artistic family—his father was the author of 'Boefje'—Brusse began his career in local journalism before moving to Paris. He became a well-known correspondent for various publications, including Elsevier and the communist newspaper De Waarheid. He is particularly noted for his radio programs about Paris (e.g., 'Paris vous parle') and television segments ('Hier Parijs, hier Frankrijk, hier Jan Brusse'). His writing often focused on travelogues and observations of French life.^[1,2,3]
