More of the same good stuff. But not nearly as fun to read as Rick Steve's travel editions. You can forgive anything if it's about Paris.
Oh, I really feel like a croissant right now. (Eating one, not being one) That was for Rachel Terry who would surely have jumped on that opening. She's relentless. Pam would've had to say something too. Thank goodness my Mom isn't on goodreads.

My favorite of all the guide books I read for Paris.
