The Streets of Paris: A Guide to the City of Light Following in the Footsteps of Famous Parisians Throughout History by Susan Cahill
4.0
I was looking for a book to guide me around Paris and stumbled upon this gem in Shakespeare & Co.
It would be absolutely enchanting to carry this book around as you complete the walking tours the author recommends. But honestly, I feel like I walked the streets of Paris just by reading it! Cahill’s writing style is engaging and practical, incorporating directions into narrative history seamlessly.
This book makes me believe I could be a travel writer. And I learned more about French history than ever before: Heloise & Abelard, Olympe de Gouges, Henri IV, Edith Piaf, and those faithful nuns stole my heart.
