Parisian's Paris - Bill Gillham

Bill Gillham has been visiting Paris for decades. For him, the pleasure is not in revisiting the tourist sights, but rather in immersing himself in a particular quartier, discovering little shops and bistros, exploring markets, parks, and local entertainment, and finding the quirks and particularities of the city’s day to day life. In this unique guidebook, Bill takes you to 17 of his favorite areas in Paris—some central, some suburban, all off the beaten track. Neglected or completely ignored by ordinary guide books, each of these locales has a purely individual, Parisian character and make superb bases for traditional sightseeing. All the information about where to stay, how to get about, where to shop and eat, which museums, parks, playgrounds to not miss and what to avoid is provided along with lush photographs that give a hint of the pleasures to be gleaned.
