Reviews

"Paris in Stride: An Insiders Walking Guide (Rizzoli) is a handy-size illustrated guidebook by two ex-pats, Jessie Kanelos Weiner and Sarah Moroz, who provide insights into the real Paris they know and love. Weiners charming watercolors of the city (and its food and wine) are the next best thing to hopping on a plane."

"This useful and handy guide transports the reader to the Paris that only locals know. With unique and compelling narratives on culture and history, the authors have created an authentic glimpse into Parisian life. The attention to detail, originality, conciseness, and readability will most certainly delight the casual and veteran traveler."
