About this edition
In this enchanting memoir, acclaimed author and long- time Paris resident John Baxter remembers his yearlong experience of giving literary walking tours through the city. Baxter sets off with unsuspecting tourists in tow on the trail of Paris's legendary artists and writers of the past. Along the way, he tells the history of Paris through a brilliant cast of characters: the favorite cafs of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and James Joyce; Pablo Picasso's underground Montmartre haunts; the bustling boulevards of the late-nineteenth-century ; the secluded Little Luxembourg gardens beloved by Gertrude Stein; the alleys where revolutionaries plotted; and finally Baxter's own favorite walk near his home in Saint-Germain-des-Prs. Paris, by custom and design, is a pedestrian's city each block a revelation, every neighborhood a new feast for the senses, a place rich with history and romance at every turn. is your guide, par excellence, to the true, off-the-beaten-path heart of the City of Lights. Includes an excerpt from John Baxter's new book .
