Description: Paris Et Ses Environs invites you to explore the French capital from its origins on the banks of the Seine to the villages, gardens, and châteaux that surround it. Along the way, you'll read the stories hidden in the city's cathedrals, palaces, and façades, wander the spiral of arrondissements to see how each quarter keeps its own character, and settle into the markets, bistros, and wine cellars that define Parisian taste. Beyond the périphérique, day trips through the Île-de-France reveal the region's countryside and heritage, while a descent into the metro, quarries, and catacombs uncovers the city beneath the city. With a closing chapter of practical advice for today's traveler, this French-language guide is a companion for both armchair dreamers and visitors ready to explore.
