I remember loving Ma Nuit chez Maud and Le Genou de Claire when I first saw them in the 80s and 90s, so I thought I would introduce a friend to Rohmer by starting at the beginning. Not a good move, I am afraid. Seeing Paris in the 1960s was, as always, a bit of a treat, but the central character was such an unappealing misogynist it was a hard watch even though it was quite short. It appears that Rohmer wanted to retain some ironic distance from his protagonist, but that's hard to maintain when that character is also narrating the film.
