A Traveller's History of Paris by Robert Cole

lindseysparks's review against another edition

4.0

This provided a very good overview of the history of Paris. It is not a travel guide, but instead is intended to provide travelers with a foundation of the history of Paris. Even though it's marketed to travelers I think it's good for anyone wanting a brief history of Paris or a refresher. There is a whole series of these books​; the English history one is good too. It's definitely an overview, not an in-depth study. For me it was a nice refresher that pointed me to topics I'd like to explore more fully.
