Paris has been the subject of so many paintings, poems, songs and novels throughout the centuries and yet it still manages to inspire romance into the hearts of travelers. It is an iconic world city which will occupy your daydreams long before you visit it and remain in your memory for even longer. World class cuisine, tree-lined boulevards of stately historic buildings, tiny cafes with sidewalk patios, and some of the most truly impressive art galleries and museums in the world await you in the "City of Light". Check out some of John Jones' personal favorites and hand-picked cafes and wine bars in a Paris travel guide like none you've ever read before. With unparalleled enthusiasm and a wink to fellow music aficionados, Jones helps you find the crème de la crème in this star-studded city. Seek inspiration from the steep streets of Montmartre where Van Gogh and Picasso once lived, or cruise down the waters of the Seine past the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. Sip coffee and savour a fluffy croissant in a quiet cafe. Watch the sunset over the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower and then watch a lively cabaret show at the Moulin Rouge.
