Book 4

In this richly illustrated guide, Paris residents Lisa Davidson and Liz Ayre share their inside knowledge of the City of Lights. All the fabled sights are here, from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre, with detailed information on how best to visit (purchase a museum pass, for instance, for the best price into museums). Readers will also discover a plethora of lesser known sights (secret Parisian parks and the ultra chic Avenue Montaigne among them), as well as popular excursions, including the marvellous palace of Versailles and the medieval village of Provins.
