Any thing truly French, takes you back to the memories of visits to this beautiful city. Even these adorable Bee glasses.  They are very well made as well!

The writer takes you back in history and introduces you to various characters  that hold your interest throughout the book while roaming the old city.  I will probably read another of this writer's book in the series hangman's daughter's tales.

My 6 year old twins and I love this book.  As a visitor to Paris in the past, this book reminds me of the happiness and joy that Paris has to offer.  Patty and Franc are characters that my girls can connect too and helps them to imagine a trip to Paris!  I highly recommend this book.

I love all things Paris.  Reading this enchanting story in parallel gave me the historical and contemporary loves. Bravo!  Merci.

I had followed Eloisa James's story of her year in Paris on Facebook, and enjoyed her posts, so getting PARIS IN LOVE was like taking a vacation. I lived the year in fast-forward, relishing her breath-taking descriptions of the streets, the shops, the people and the foods. Her kids' (who are so real, funny and smart) resentment of the whole adventure made me laugh out loud. The fight with her husband was funny and all too real, too. If you want a book that wisks you away, PARIS IN LOVE is exactly what you need.

Well, I first loved Paris, but now I want also to  go to Provence. I was amazed by Maggie's facility in  moving around in Paris. I found it fairly intimidating. My daughter and I went there on a river cruise and the old place still has the same magic as it has had forever. Maggie's task to find her uncle's murderer is well taken and in some respects, it makes more plot sense than the previous books. That is, the conclusion pretty much follows  in the context of the book's storyline. As in so many mysteries (whodoneits) it is the least suspected who did it. In this case, you may guess who did it, but he is not really the most or least of the suspects.

Most of the mainstream travel books don't fit my personality or have listings that fit my pocket book.  This one is for the traveller that wants to see the city - not just other tourists.  It's easy to read, has opinions that you can agree (or disagree) with and encourages you to see things, not just for the first time but in a new way.  You can tell the book was written by someone that loves the city and he makes you fall in love with Paris too.  If you're going to Paris alone, or with someone you're fond of, you'll be delighted.  I'm ready to go back.

Pack your bags and join sisters Chloe and Mia for a two-week trip to Thailand. Just don't expect to share their ride to the airport: Mias luggage has claimed all available space in the too-small car she hired. And don't count on Mia and her friends to spend time with you. They know where the great parties are, but theyll leave you and Chloe behind. Youll be in good hands, though. Kirsty McManus is a wonderful tour guide. Her writing brings to life the sights, sounds, and smells of Bangkok.

Chloe needs this vacation more than she realizes. Devoted to caring for everyone else's needs back home, she finds her own happinessand a handsome Scottish perfumerwhile navigating through a holiday filled with set-backs and minor traumas. McManus introduces us to many unique characters throughout the novel. I especially liked Chloes friend Rosie. For readers who love a sweet romance sprinkled with humor, I highly recommend Perfume Therapy.

I fell in love with this fragrance when I was in Paris and HAVE to have it now that I am back in the States. It brings me right back to my experience in Paris - delicious way to remember. And the candle was a beautiful bonus.  :)

What more could an American girl embarking on a bold new life in Paris want than a swoony Brit to help her get acclimated and teach her the language of love?

Joy Danvers is more than ready for a change in her life, so ready that she's packed up, picked up, and winged her way to France. Joy has a love of all things French, but what she doesn't have is a complete handle on le francais.

Enter Griffin Thomas. A Brit abroad, Griffin is working on the bucket list that his brother couldn't complete, and paying the bills by acting as a translator. As luck would have it, Griffin ends up with Joy as his newest customer. The chemistry between these two is electric from the get-go, but mixing business and pleasure is a no no, or at least that's what they tell themselves.

Lauren Blakely has infused WANDERLUST with her usual blend of sweet and sexy, and, in keeping with the theme, a very palpable joie de vivre. Lauren's obvious love for Paris shines through in her descriptions, and in Joy's continually growing love for her adopted city. And the care that Griffin brings to fulfilling his list while being swept off his feet by a certain American girl makes him that much more yummy. 5 toiles brillantes for WANDERLUST. If this book doesn't make you want to hop a plane and spend the spring in Paris, I'll eat my hat. Add it to your TBR, and enjoy.

P.S. It didn't hurt that I also listened to the audiobook of WANDERLUST. Hearing Richard Armitage and Grace Grant bring Griffin and Joy to life made this even more wonderful. Do yourself a favor and have a listen!

This book is filled with timeless French favorites. After my last trip to Paris (June 2914) , I realized that  many of these treasures are at risk and need to be captured now.

It's a lovely thing to be able to "go to" Paris ever without a passport or the extra  cash to fly over there.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves Paris, whether or not you can go. (though I'm sure it's a better guide for the times you're there.)
Enjoy!

Goldsborough recreates the feel of what it was like to be a journalist and live in Paris in what now seems like a different world.  The Paris Herald is a great read for people who love Paris and want to be immersed in another time and place.

Take a trip with John Baxter as he celebrates his beloved Paris.  As one who has visited Paris, I can agree that it is first and foremost a walking city (though do try the Metro).  After seeing the landmarks, you need to soak in the mood of the city.  And Baxter gives the wealth of his experience as an ex-pat.  He sort of stumbled into his role as a peripatetic tour guide, and discovered he had the gift for it.  This is an easy, relaxing book that makes no demands on the reader; it is simply an enjoyable armchair escape, and highly recommended.

Beautiful book, full of delicious Parisian recipes. The pictures of Parisian landmarks will make you want to visit or revisit. Reading it makes me reminisce about my previous trips and dream of my future ones. If you love Paris or dream of going to Paris, this book will make you want to go even more. So far, I have tried one recipe, Gateau Nantais. It's a dense, moist almond cake. The recipe was spot on, the cake was divine. I can't wait to try more recipes.

I absolutely adored these cards! My uncle gave these to me as a going away present when I moved to Paris for 6 months. These cards were my ticket to weekend adventures! I didn't have access to internet, so they were perfect for getting me around the city. I saw some people complained about the cards not having enough information on them, but that is really up to YOU. If you're curious about a destination, start up a conversation with a local or google it later. The point of these cards is to get you OUT and to EXPLORE.  If you are the adventurous type, don't mind taking your time, and want to see a lot of Paris without taking the hours online researching, the City Walks: Paris, 50 Adventures on Foot are for you! Bonne chance!

This book was a real treat.  I loved being transported back in time to Paris in the time of so many great authors.  Having recently read "The Paris Wife" I already felt connected to the time and place, and Chasing Sylvia Beach deepened that connection even further. Cynthia writes vividly and descriptively, so I felt I could see and smell the distinctiveness of Sylvia's book store.  When I first learned the premise involved time travel I have to admit I was skeptical, but the story hung together well and I loved the colorful characters.  Can't wait to see what happens next!!
