Paris Insights - Book Reviews

Our book Dining Out in Paris is featured in Travel with a Challenge Web magazine!

...despite my years and years of wandering the streets of Paris and discovering previously unknown places to savor, I found several I had not known about, described here with panache, depth and humor, and accompanied by photos that made me want to crawl through the pages.

This very fine book, full of photographs and information for the most part unknown to the casual traveler, is a collection of articles he has previously published about the secret of what makes Paris so unique.

...if you are planning a trip and want to do anything more than just seeing the Louvre, the Musee D'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower, I'd advise you to read "Paris Insights" first.
