This handy little book's job is to lead questers to the city's magical islands—famous or unknown—where their thirst for silent escapes can be slaked.
Aha! So "quiet" is the operative word here. Quiet Corners of Paris takes you away from the hustle and bustle, the honking horns, the busy business of a major capital, and leads you to little oases of beauty and calm that are tucked away—just down the street and around the corner. Organized by arrondissement, this 6½"- square guide lists hushed church gardens, hidden hotel courtyards, blooming squares, picturesque alleys, serene waysides, and more, with lovely descriptions, as well as information on locations, Metro stops, and daily schedules. Lush color photographs entice you to visit. Send a friend off on a lovely, quiet trip to Paris!
