No Worries Paris, a photographic walking guide brings the city to life. A look inside:

NoWorries1

“So many memorable walks at our own pace. Good maps, directions,  and the accompanying text is concise enough to read while on the walk.”

“A great help for me to plan my trip. I’m glad I’m prepared for what’s in store in the next two weeks.”

“We had four full days to spend in Paris in September. We had never been there and wanted to make the most of our time. We decided to use the No Worries Paris guide, and it was a very good decision.”

“Everything was beyond amazing!! I will never travel to Paris without using this guide again. Especially loved walking tours through the neighborhoods of the Marais and Latin Quarter.”

NoWorriesParistext5
“The experience, sights and information provided by our NWP was first class. I would happily recommend reading it cover to cover before your stay.”

Illustrated by hundreds of color photographs, NO WORRIES PARIS takes readers on a visually luscious journey along the city’s striking monuments, as well as into crannies of its villages and the full-on glamour of the fashion districts. Virtually all of Paris is covered in 10 Walking Tours, each with its own map. Walks take from a half-day to a day to complete, starting at one Metro stop and ending at another. The tours are complemented by 10 Walk Arounds, which are shorter in length, taking in the sights of a single attraction more on the fringes of the city’s arrondissements.

Practical travel tips and get-around information is included. Newcomers will most likely want to begin with monumental strolls. Francophiles may choose something more edgy and out-of-the-way. The common thread is that each walk is along a visually aesthetic pathway that has a story of its own to tell. Readers who want to get to know Paris by seeing it on foot—pausing occasionally for a gourmet taste, park bench timeout or perfumed sniff along the way— have found the right book.

No Worries Paris is available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Powell’s Books,  directly through the publishers (signed + discount) at Trailblazer Travel Books as well as your friendly independent bookstores nationwide.

A balmy night in Paris

An after dinner walk along the Seine on a Saturday. Lights, camera, where’s my tripod? Crowds queing into Notre Dame for a concert, story-swappers in twos and threes along the river banks, tourist bateaus interrupting the scene with their rude spotlights, Hotel de Ville lit up like a birthday cake. A sparkling jewel, the city puts on yet another face.

Be sure to get home early enough to plan the next day with your No Worries Paris guide.

Chew with a view: the Pompidou’s rooftop restaurant

pompidou

It’s called Le Georges, but of course . . . le former presidente’s first name. The interior is comprised of organic industrial-chic aluminum pods artistically lit. Exterior has a panorama that is most beautiful at sunset after the museum is closed. The food is French-fusion and overpriced but the experience of watching the skyline change cocktail in hand is five star. The service is slower than escargot.

Descend after your museum experience to the whimsical fountain below. Fontaine Igor Stravinsky, with 16 multicolored mobiles and several spurting sculptures by Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle will bring smiles. A fine ending to your Kubrick Space Odyssey outing.
