I’m really really liked this book, it is very informative and it includes all my interests. It talks about all the different museums or artifacts or just a lot of tourists attractions. It would really be something you would want to read before actually going to the city of Paris it’s self it also talks about some back history of the city. It talks a lot about the artists that painted and all the museums, including Leonardo da Vinci. It talks about why the painters oaunted the pictures that they painted. Paris is a very fascinating city to read about in this book has Fillans wishes that I wanted to be answered before reading the book itself. I also really like the back history I’m all the architecture like the actual Eiffel tower itself the arc of triumph and the Orsi Paris is a very fascinating city to read about in this book has Fillans wishes that I wanted to be answered before reading the book itself. I also really like the back history I’m all the architecture like the actual Eiffel tower itself the arc of triumph and Place de la Concorde. All I would rate this a five out of five stars because I was very informational and I just really like the back history gave on all the different sorts of things there are they are and how there are so many topics it talks about. I really suggest anyone that really likes history or just Paris alone to read it.

the golden book of all paris is a bit old-fashioned, but it's packed with stunning photographs of paris's most popular attractions and in-depth information about locations like notre dame, the palais de justice, and place vendôme. i adore this book! it's like taking a virtual trip to paris while turning the pages. the author's lively descriptions and elaborate details transport you to the city.

During a recent trip to France I bought this book as a souvenir. It really enjoyed this book and almost had finished it by the time I got home. It covers all the major highlights of the city and includes history and lovely pictures.
