Synopsis

From the leading independent travel and style magazine Cereal comes Cereal City Guide: Paris: a portrait of the French capital offering a finely curated edit on what to see and do for discerning travelers and locals alike.
 
Rich Stapleton and Rosa Park, Cereal’s founders, travel extensively for the magazine and were inspired to create a series of city guides that highlighted their favorite places to visit. Now, after building a loyal readership that counts on their unique, considered advice, they are relaunching the books with a fresh design and new content.
 
Rather than a comprehensive directory of all there is to see and do, these Cereal City Guides offer instead an edit of points of interest and venues that reflect Cereal’s values in both quality and aesthetic sensibility. Rich and Rosa have personally visited hundreds of venues in Paris, distilling their preferred locales down to their firm favorites. From lively, local-filled cafés to design-driven boutiques that channel the inimitable Parisian savoir faire, these are the finds that that will offer a more personal take on the city. Meticulously researched and illustrated with original photography, each guide includes:
 

• photo essays of striking images of the city
• an illustrated neighborhood map
• interviews and essays from celebrated locals such as Patrick Seguin of Galerie Patrick Seguin, artist Frédéric Forest, and more
• lists of essential architectural points of interest, museums, galleries, day trips outside the city, and unique goods to buy
• an itinerary for an ideal day in Paris

 
Cereal City Guide: Paris is a design-focused portrait of an iconic city, offering a distinctive look at the best museums, galleries, restaurants, and shops.

Review

“When traveling, I want each minute of my limited time to be well spent, in the right places. Planning for this can be daunting. No more sifting through blogs and dense guide books to make my itinerary. Cereal has done it for me, in the most beautiful way.” (Erin Gleeson the New York Times bestselling author of The Forest Feast and the upcoming The Forest Feast Travels)

"Cereal City Guides take a different approach to travel. They invite you to sit quietly in cafes favored by locals and meander down less-traveled paths to places of interest you’ve probably never heard of. Filled with handsome visuals and practical advice, they're exactly what you need to walk away feeling like you've experienced the stylish soul of a city." (Emma Reddington style director at House & Home)

“This beautifully shot guide boasts a precise selection that blends historic Parisian institutions and emerging spots with a focus on good taste and design.” (Patrick Seguin gallerist)

“What I love about these guides is the strength of the perspective. Everything inessential has been rigorously pared away, leaving a very focused take on each city.” (John Pawson architect)

“Less is always more for me and these guides are the epitome of that. They're a really lovely cherry-picked selection of things to do and see across our favorite cities. They are thoughtful, special, and a real essential when traveling.” (Alex Eagle creative director)

“A beautifully curated guide . . . and a must read for all food, fashion, art, and design lovers.” (Rejina Pyo fashion designer)

“Cereal City Guides always give me that detail that I yearn for as a creative person when I’m traveling to my favorite cities. Rosa Park and Rich Stapleton work in total in harmony . . . Rich with his eye for beauty, perfection, and detail that is so enriching, and Rosa with her eye for finding the detail and perfection in all aspects of life, which is so satisfying. The combination is intriguing and inspiring.” (Lyn Harris perfumer)

“Cereal City Guides turn cities into characters. They are like inspiring movies. Something that invites us instantly and intensely to go to what we already love, even if we have not gone yet. These are the memories of the journeys we want to take.” (Frédéric Forest illustrator & designer)

“For as much as I value the sense of discovery, it is comforting to know that you can trust a great recommendation when you decide to reach out. These guides provide an insightful perspective with Rich Stapleton’s beautiful photography making you look at things in new ways.” (Michael Anastassiades designer)
