Time Out Paris

The number one guide to one of the world's favourite cities: without downplaying tradition ' all major sights, museums and monuments are covered in-depth ' TIME OUT PARIS takes detours into the hip and madly popular world of comic strips, free entertainment, open-air dancehalls and the influx of cutting-edge fashion brands on the city's most staunchly haute couture avenue Paris pulls off the enviable double act of being resolutely in step with the modern world ' mushrooming public WiFi coverage, excellent public transport system, major architectural projects in the pipeline ' and as seductively romantic and gloriously historic as ever: the flagstones the guillotine once stood on are still in situ, the palace of kings that houses the world's largest museum, the Louvre, is still a marvel to behold. TIME OUT PARIS goes back to the city's roots and monitors its new shoots ' the plans to cut traffic in the centre by 75 per cent, the new 'boat Métro' service along the Seine, and new developments in every sphere of its world-leading fashion, arts and culinary scenes.Cresswell, Peterjon is the author of 'Time Out Paris ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781846700064 and ISBN 184670006X.
