Michelin Green Guide Paris
Ref: MCH1355
This is an example of the format of the Michelin Green Guides.
Well established authoritative tourist guides these include practical information, detailed mapping combined with colour photographs and illustrations.
Below is the introduction to the guide from the publisher.
At the dawn of the 21C, Paris has renovated the Grand Louvre and built a new national library, places to cherish and preserve the gifts of the past, and at the same time has created a modern complex devoted to science and the arts in the lovely park of la Villette. Artistic achievements from every nation and from every age have a home here. The city at the crossroads of the world thrives on culture in every form and fashion. The lively mixture of people keeps this dynamic European capital moving apace as the fast-beating heart of a large urban area. No other city gives as much care to its appearance and beautification, parks and gardens, the illumination of its monuments. The hustle and bustle of Paris life is an amusing mixture of old-fashioned markets brimming with fresh foods whose virtues are sung out by each vendor; of brightly-lit boulevards lined with shops, arcades, cinemas and cafés; of crowds spilling into and out of theatres and concert halls; of the inviting scents wafting from the doors of restaurants and bakeries. The River Seine meanders through town, inviting you to stop and rest a moment, and contemplate the mystery of a city which is ever changing and ever the same.
