Review
"There are guides to every aspect of Paris, from museums and bars to sex and shopping -- and then there are Thirza Vallois's extraordinary Around and About Paris."Anthony Sattins, The Sunday Times, London
"I think we can safely toss all other Paris guides aside [...]Paris is made for walking and Thirza Vallois's guides are made for Paris [...]. They should soon achieve legendary status."William Boyd, The Spectator, London
"An astonishingly informative companion,"The Times Literary Companion, London
"This is a book for those who think of Paris as an urban paradise [...].Vallois captures -- and opens up for all to taste -- the incomparable sense of the past one experiences walking the streets of Paris. Here's to Around and About Paris. On your next flight to Paris, don't leave home without it."Patsy Baudoin, The Boston Book Review
"Treat yourself to this treasure!"Booklist, The American Library Journal.
From Library Journal
Vallois, a 30-year resident of Paris, has written three wonderful volumes about her favorite city. She has spent seven of those years walking down every one of its streets, reading every available book written about it, interviewing old-timers, and then compiling all her research into these three extraordinary books. As each chapter unfolds, the reader walks with Vallois district by district along the streets of Paris, sharing in the art, literature, music, history, politics, science, religion, economics, entertainment, crime, passion, and local color of each unique arrondissement. The scenery changes from the past to the present, bringing Paris alive with tales from lifelong residents. Vallois's in-depth knowledge of the city and her acute attention to detail, delivered with fast-moving style, will be intriguing for both travelers and scholars. Recommended for larger libraries.AStephanie Papa, Baltimore Cty. Circuit Court Law Lib., Towson, MD
