Paris

Quiet Corners of Paris
$14.95
When I go to Paris I am usually with friends and we have a schedule that is hurriedly moving from this place to that. This book makes me want to go to Paris alone to get away and relax, something I typically don't associate with such a bright, exciting city.

The photos emit a sense of solitude and peace. The nooks and crannies that Napias and Lefebure take us to include gardens, museums, side streets,and parks. A good walk's destination with a book in pocket that provides a contrast to the flea markets, bistros, and shopping excusions that we readily find in Paris, giving us a more round view of what Paris has to offer.

Streetwise Paris Laminated City Center Street Map
$7.95
The Map of the city was very easy to follow and was accurate. The METROPOLITAN (subway) map was very valuable. Laminated map easy to write and mark wiht a pen and did not get managed even on a 10 day stay in Paris. :)

Walks Through Lost Paris: A Journey Into the Heart of Historic Paris
$22.00
Having been to Paris numerous times, we have long since enjoyed the don't-miss activities there and have become urban hikers, visiting different quarters of the City of Light. The four walking itineraries in this book changed the way we look at the buildings and squares detailed in this convenient and useful book. A lot of information is packed into it, including very specific instructions for finding the sites described, photos from yesterday and today, and coherent historical information. The only deficit is there is no second book of the next 4 Walks Through Lost Paris by this author. We bought the book in French for our French hosts who were delighted to have it.

Paris Tales
$19.99
I say - buy this you'll like this book.

This is a wonderful anthology of translated stories. I was a bit leery that some of them might be too dated but no, they do capture the essences of the arrondissements. Having been to Paris twice I know that the stories capture you and place you right there.
