Paris
Note:
This unique collection of previously published articles about everything Parisian will capture the hearts and imagination of anyone going to Paris whether for the first time or the one-hundredth. Written by the finest writers and journalists around including Peter Mayle, Catharine Reynolds, Gerald Asher, and Patricia Wells and culled from publications such as Gourmet, The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, and France Magazin, Paris and all its many facets are uncovered and explored.

Divided into categories such as Current Events; Plazas, Gardens and Monuments; Food and Drink, , and famous French and Ex-Patriate Personalities each theme is complete with an extremely detailed annotated bibliography that will, sans doute, be as entertaining as the recommended books themselves.

Besides being a provocative literary-minded anthology, Paris is also an invaluable resource. Containing a comprehensive practical information section, readers will find information on the day to day needs of a tourist (money changing, bank machines, maps, etc.) as well as the more challenging needs of a traveler (renting an apartment, finding campgrounds, bicycle rentals, etc.)

The variety and depth of this unique collection provides a deep understanding of Parisians and their history that is sure to make any trip to France richer and more rewarding. It offers much more than any typical guidebook on the shelves now, and best of all is perhaps as captivating to read after the trip as it is before.
