Blue Guide Paris

A detailed guide to the art, history and architecture of Paris. Full-colour throughout with detailed maps and diagrams. Includes Blue Guides Recommended dining and accommodation suggestions.

Paris Blue Guide is the perfect mini-encylopedia of this glorious city. Paris can only be fully understood if approached through its history and monuments, the grand projects of kings, revolutionaries, emperors and presidents, as well as the river Seine and its importance, and of course the story of Parisian haute cuisine. All this is brilliantly described and explained in this fully updated Blue Guide.

Listings at the end of each chapter give suggestions on where to eat. Author Delia Gray-Durant, who has lived and worked in Paris, is ideally placed to present the city accessibly to the independent visitor, being familiar with not only its great monuments but also its most intimate corners.
