Reviews by readers

This is not a guidebook...

...in the standard sense, so I can see why the other reviewers were disappointed, if that was their expectation. Tourists should buy Fodors or other some such reference book if they were hoping for logistical data.

I stayed at a flat on rue Bonaparte a few years ago, and loved the neighborhood's beauty and sense of history. After reading this book, I understand why I was so enthralled. Diane Johnson has done all the library and museum detective work so that we can understand her historic neighborhood. I only wish I had had the book with me so I could read it in the cafe, then go see each address and building she refers to.

Tales told with a witty humor and historic appreciation, this is a great book for any francophile, as well as for Paris adorers.

Don't be fooled by the cover!

This book is a very personal walk through the history of the area where the author has lived in Paris. It has loads of historical and architectural information - wonderful reading.

It Bites the Big Croque!

Horrid. Just Horrid.
