Definitely made me want to visit Paris more urgently, but it felt more like a travel guide than an aesthetically pleasing book (though it was that, as well). The illustrations were the highlight, but I still found myself looking up picture references of the places mentioned to get a grasp. Maybe I would've enjoyed had I already visited Paris? I'm not sure who this book is for and I'm talking in circles, so I'll wrap this up.

Cute little illustrations of Parisian sights and foods, with paragraph-long descriptions of each. I like the idea of combining well-known landmarks and neighborhoods with more hidden pleasures, but this was trying a little too hard to sell its own authenticity. Neat idea for a travelogue, but I was surprised to see it written and illustrated by two different people.

All the wonderful places to visit in Paris, together with watercolor paintings of the sites and a little blurb about each...excellent!
