Frommer's Paris (Frommer's Complete), 12th Edition

Frommer's books aren't written by by AI (like so many of the no-name brands you see in online bookstores) or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We employ the best local experts to author our guides, like longtime Paris journalist Anna E. Brooke. In this innovative, easy-to-carry, itinerary-based guide she shows readers how to see the best of the City of Lights — in the smartest, most time-efficient way.
