Blue Guide Paris

DUE OUT JUNE 2015 - Paris in the Blue Guides series focuses primarily on cultural tourism for visitors who wish to understand more of what they might see and the Paris Blue guide cover the city in depth with thorough and objective reference information covering art, history and architecture.

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 and stay. This guide also features two-colour informative diagrams, floor plans, architectural details and photographs, and full colour maps. 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.
