Blue Guides Blue Guide Paris
Paris Blue Guide is the perfect mini-encylopedia of this glorious city. Paris can only be fully understood if approached through its history and monuments, the grand projects of kings, revolutionaries, emperors and presidents, as well as the river Seine and its importance, and of course the story of Parisian haute cuisine. All this is brilliantly described and explained in this fully updated Blue Guide. Listings at the end of each chapter give suggestions on where to eat. Author Delia Gray-Durant, who has lived and worked in Paris, is ideally placed to present the city accessibly to the independent visitor, being familiar with not only its great monuments but also its most intimate corners.

Blue Guides Art/Shop/Eat Paris: Second Edition
This intelligently planned series divides each city up into 4-5 districts centred on a key sight – for example the Forum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona and the Vatican in the case of Rome – and gives ideas for a perfect day in that part of town: the main sights and one or two quirkier ones too, the best places to eat or have a coffee, and some original shopping ideas, presented in an uncluttered and navigable format that respects the reader's intelligence. A good 50% of the book is dedicated to the art and history of the place, distinguishing these useable little books from many guides which are little more than practical information listings.
