Paris

Wanna get away? How about Paris? To place yourself in the heart of the most beautiful city in the world, try Parisians : An adventure history of Paris. This isn’t a dry, academic work but a collection of vignettes describing pivotal characters and scenes from the city’s rich history. You’ll want to follow along on a map like the one found in Eyewitness Travel: Paris. After you climb The Eiffel Tower in your dreams, you’re going to work up un appétit. The sweet life in Paris : delicious adventures in the world's most glorious--and perplexing--city is a memoir/cookbook hybrid penned by a cranky American expatriate testing ice cream and pastry recipes in a miniscule Parisian apartment. If you enjoy this title, you might be also enjoy Clotilde Dusoulier’s entertaining cookbooks/storybooks. She writes one of the best food blogs on the ‘net. The next travel read pour moi: Paris to the Moon!

Je vous verrai en Paris, mes amis.
