prettycityparis: Discovering Paris's Beautiful Places (The Pretty Cities, 5)

Product Information

So, it should be no surprise that I’m recommending at least one Paris guide book full of weird relics. For a tasty treat on the Royal Mile, stop by the White Horse Oyster Bar who conjures up some of the tastiest seafood in all of Edinburgh. Just be sure to book a table in advance; it’s a wee little restaurant that fills up fast.

If you aren’t into art, skip the Louvre and seek out some of Lesbros’ oddities. The book gives historical context to the architecture, signage, statuary in the offbeat passageways of Paris These kid’s books are also available as Spain travel guides in case your itinerary includes that region as well. Walking Guides to Flaneuring in Paris The Streets of Paris: A Guide to the City of Light Following in the Footsteps of Famous Parisians Throughout History, Susan Cahill History-rich Bath sits right at the top of our list of the most beautiful cities on home turf. This quietly charming Somerset town shot to fame in Roman times for its mineral-rich thermal waters, later becoming a stomping ground for well-to-do Georgians who flaunted their wealth by building the elegant streets and curvaceous crescents from buttery Bath stone. Today, it’s a picturesque bubble of cosy tearooms, artisan markets and independent boutiques, anchored around the magnificent seventh-century Abbey and gorgeous Pulteney Bridge, Bath’s answer to Venice's Rialto or Florence's Ponte Vecchio. If you’re seeking fresh country air, Royal Victoria Park is an oasis of botanical gardens, wild meadows and gurgling streams, while the pretty Cotswolds gently but gloriously unfurl along the fringes of the city.

David Sedaris wrote about his favorite Parisian taxidermy shop in Me Talk Pretty One Day (listen to it on audio, you will thank me.) Another Roman city (like Nimes in France), Bath is one totally beautiful place to discover.

Lonely Planet guides began by targeting the budget traveler and they have remained pretty true to their original mission. I appreciate their tips for saving money, suggestions for varied itineraries and their willingness to recommend offbeat attractions (like the Sewer Museum in Paris, which is very interesting and not as smelly as you might imagine.)
