A colorful assortment of topics about Paris, each a few pages long. You won't read about the museums here, but you will learn about cocktails, jazz, Paris waiters, the Paris Commune of 1871, Hemingway, Roland Garros, Josephine Baker, cobblestones, and snails. Subjects range from British Royalty in Paris to pissoirs and dog poop. You can read this a few minutes at a time or all in one go, or dip into it randomly. Perfect airplane book. (Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital review copy.)

This is a lovely book for those who wish to delve into the story of Paris a bit more - great for newcomers, tourists who wish to go off the beaten track, foodies, artists, those interested in history and literature. It is engaging and the stylish illustrations are a bonus.

I really love Paris. I think most people don't realize how affordable it can be -- I used to spend less money taking a trip to Paris than my friends did taking trips in the country. There is so much to see and so much energy.
What makes this book fun is that I learned a lot of things I didn't know about the history of some of the places in Paris. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

It was amazing to read this and to learn more about Pars especially beyond the general touristy information.
