300 Reasons to Love Paris

Paris lovers, see the city in a new light

Admire the exquisite jewelry in Place Vend me, soak up the sights, sounds and smells of the marketplace at the March des Enfants Rouges, curl up in the Ar nes de Lut ce, enjoy a burger with Moli re, dance on a rooftop beneath the open sky, or on the Quai d'Austerlitz... What enthuses Parisians in their City of Light? The unusual, the ephemeral, the exclusive, and above all, being in the know (or pretending to be ). Judith Ritchie shows you how to live like the French, wending your way to a private patio in an unexpected hole in the wall, to underground spas in sublime rotundas. Ambling along a covered walkway, indulge in the irresistible menu of a neo-bistro, be lured by the treasures in a trend-setting concept store. In this guide, the author shares her best Paris finds: the most beautiful place to walk, the best crepe, the most unique thrift store, the most glamorous hotel. To discover the real Paris, you must become Parisian. 300 Reasons to Love Paris takes you off the beaten path, and into the burgeoning city, where you can let yourself be carried away by adventure and discovery
