REVIEW: Lonely Planet Paris travel guide
Paris travel guide
Paris' monument-lined boulevards, museums, classical bistros and boutiques are enhanced by a new wave of creative wine bars, design shops and tech start-ups. Stroll through the iconic cityscape, marvel at the abundance of museums bursting with masterpieces and savour the moment at a Parisian brasserie.
Lonely Planet writer Catherine Le Nevez explains why she loves Paris. "Paris' grandeur is inspiring, but what I love most about the city is its intimacy. Its quartiers (quarters) are like a patchwork of villages, and while it's one of the of the world's major metropolises - with all of the culture and facilities that go with it - there's a real sense of community at the local shops, markets and cafes that hasn't changed since my childhood. Yet because every little 'village' has its own evolving character, I'm constantly discovering and rediscovering hidden corners of the city."
