Downloadable guides to Paris, written from an insider's perspective.

Karen Henrich Since I founded my Paris tour company, I found that I was answering the same questions for visitors over and over again. They wanted to know what the best seasons were to visit Paris, how to pick a hotel, which arrondissement to stay in, how to painlessly get to/from the airport, what clothes to bring, and other issues. I decided to compile all of this information, culled from hundreds of sources, into one handy guide. |

Melinda Herron When I first came to Paris 20 years ago, I wanted to know where the Black hair salons were, where I could go to listen to Black music, where I could buy foods like sweet potatoes, corn meal and black-eyed peas. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed Paris and all it had to offer culturally, it was essential somehow to get a taste and feel for "back home." |

Adrian Leeds "I never stop looking for the ultimate good-value meal. Many restaurants found in guidebooks are expensive, but I have found restaurants native Parisians frequent that were as good or better, and less expensive. I can show you that dining in Paris doesn't have to be expensive, all while enjoying the fine cuisine the French have to offer." |

Elizabeth Reichert "Perhaps you are fed up with your 9 to 5 regime; perhaps you are a writer needing a new perspective... perhaps, like so many, you are intoxicated by the myth of writing in Paris and are interested in discovering what such a life is all about. For whatever reason, you are ready to make Paris your home and haven for new words." |

Jean Taquet "Even if people have a good command of the French language, when moving to France it is often the cultural, political, legal and bureaucratic matters that cause the greatest difficulty." |
