Paris Guide Book

The romance, beauty, and excitement of Paris is brought to life through a unique guide written by former Parisian residents. In this second revised, edition, Howe and Huntley show the familiar sights of Paris - the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Versailles - but their book goes far beyond the standard tourist landmarks; they help the reader feel and experience the City of Light and the enchanting surrounding countryside. They bring the reader their Paris, their hidden haunts, their beloved bistros, their favorite croissant shops. Stroll with Howe and Huntley down the intimate back streets of the Latin Quarter; wander with them from old Paris to new, discovering as they have again and again the marvels of Parisian architecture, the neighborhoods rich in history, the incomparable shopping, the extraordinary museums, monuments, and cathedrals, and of course the delights of France's celebrated cuisines. A wide selection of more than 100 hotels and restaurants for all budgets and ages are included. Take in the rich tapestries at the Musée de Cluny; cruise along the Seine River at night; linger at one of the ubiquitous sidewalk cafés; explore the narrow streets of the Ile de la Cité; relax in the Luxembourg Gardens; or wander in and out of Paris's many churches and cathedrals.
