See moreA colorful guide to Paris for curious travelers, packed with tips for places to go on and off the beaten track and how to understand the city and its people.
Illustrated for all ages, this city companion captures the City of Light's iconic landmarks alongside the everyday je ne sais quoi that makes Paris unforgettable. Every corner of the city is represented, from the historic elegance of Le Marais and Saint-Germain-des-Prés to the artistic energy of Montmartre and Belleville.
The city's finest offerings are on full display, including world-class museums, rooftop bars with panoramic views, vibrant street art, and intimate night spots that often escape the tourist radar. Most importantly, this guide dives into the lifestyle, idiosyncrasies, and passions of Parisians. Local slang and social codes become second nature, while the legendary culinary scene—from neighbourhood bistros to the most photogenic patisseries—is explored.
Insights into shopping, nightlife, and LGBTQ+ culture are paired with curated day trips to Versailles or Giverny. Even the logistics of a stay, from hotel selection to mastering the Metro, are handled with expertise.
Written in an accessible and informal style, this charming guide combines curiosities, customs, quirks, history, and tradition into a must-have companion for curious travellers, foodies, art lovers, and armchair explorers.
