Quiet, please July 26, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Planning a trip to Paris? Then this is the very thing to take along. Turn a trip to (possibly) the most beautiful capital city on earth into an exquisite adventure!
I have been to Paris many times before, and thought I knew the city well. I even imagined that I knew it's quiet spots. I was wrong. Here, arranged by `arrondissement' is a brief but compelling guide to spots you might otherwise miss in the rush to `Do Paris' in a few days.
Skip lunch at a crowded restaurant once or twice during your stay, and instead buy yourself a baguette and something devilishly sweet from one of the many pastry shops (and even a bottle of wine) and head for one of these `Quiet Corners'. Or take a pre-dinner stroll around Montmartre, as described in this volume.
The book gives you just enough insight into the location, without being dry and historic. No maps are to be found within, but you're bound to have a map anyway, so no biggie there.
I have to say that the book isn't the best value `new', as it is small and not a lot of use to you outside of Paris. I bought mine `used' for a lot less than the cover price.
The other titles on Paris by the same publisher are all well worth a look. Again, best to find a `used' copy if you can.
If you simply can't make it to Paris, then this book will actually make a nice coffee table read. Imaginary trips to Paris are so much cheaper, and you won't have to put up with rude waiters.....
