Thirza Vallois 2

Former library copy, cleaned up pretty well. I did some more scraping. I'm very happy with the purchase. I'm taking it with me to Paris tomorrow. So I am happy about the promptness too.

Quite simply the best

As someone who has haunted Paris for decades, I can say that there is no more wonderful companion than Thirza Vallois. Her three volumes of Around and About Paris, covering every arrondissement with both erudition and joy, are almost as deep and rich and rewarding as the city itself. They are to be carried about for consulting on foot, and read in your armchair for pleasure and information you will not find in the run-of-the-mill "guide." These books are for explorers and dreamers, scholars and lovers. If you want to know Paris, you can not do better.
