All the fabled sights are here - the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre - with detailed background information on each place and how best to visit (purchase museum pass, for instance, for the best price into museums). You will also discover a plethora of lesser-known sights like the great Parisian parks, the Fountains, and the ultra chic Avenue Montaigne.

Two-page write-ups treat particular subjects in depth and focus on aspects of Paris such as the city's fascinating cemeteries and the role of great Parisian love affairs within French society. Additionally, suggestions are provided to help the user decide between cruising down the Seine and taking an art class. The guide also provides beautiful 3D artworks that depict the architectural details of the Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Versailles. A meticulous history and culture chapter fills you in on the city's background and the Travelwise section provides all the information you need to travelling to and around Paris, as well as the author's pick of the best hotels and restaurants in a variety of price ranges.
