Only in Paris: A Guide to Unique Locations, Hidden Corners and Unusual ObjectsDuncan J D SmithBrandstatter, 2013 (ISBN 9783850337106)
If you love Paris...and idiosyncrasy, and
off-the-beaten-track, and weird and wonderful, and 'I never knew that' and 'Did
I really see what I thought I saw?' - then you must not go to Paris without
this book.
This borderline-bizarre compendium of nooks and crannies
gives you far more than you could ever hope to gain from a conventional travel
guide; it does what it says on the tin, and then some.
Moreover, Duncan Smith is just the person to lead you by the
hand, metaphorically at least, into a world where you can enjoy mint tea
beneath a minaret, search for the bones of Louis XVI, or check out the curse of
the Chateau de Vincennes.
Discover wonders of the East, a counterfeit museum,
concealed courtyards and secret squares and even Monet's Soleil Levant...a Paris, in fact, of ancient ruins, eccentric
museums, hidden communities and underground worlds....more than enough to
organise your own expedition through the City of Light, in 98 easy chapters.
