Paris: The Monocle Travel Guide Series, cartea 10

Editat de Brûlé Tyler, Tuck Andrew, Pickard Joe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2016
There's the food, the culture, the architecture, the art --Notre Dame and Montmartre and the Louvre --and then there's the side of Paris you've never seen, until now.

Paris: the city of love, the city of light --the city everyone thinks they know from movies and books. But there's more to this vigorous new-old metropolis than Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. Along its winding streets and hidden in picturesque views along the Seine, there's so much more to do and discover, to taste and see, than what you imagine.

The Monocle team is your guide as you explore the nouvelle cuisine in the city's up and coming restaurants that are revitalizing classic dining. Step off the beaten path and into galleries showcasing works that will inspire future art world trends. Escape the crowds and the tourists in laidback local bars and classy clubs. And then bundle up in designer goods from the best unknown boutiques as you stroll through history and romance. Paris is a wonderland. This is your ticket.

Descriere

Few cities evoke the same level of sentiment as the City of Light, the City of Love, Gay Paree. The iconography runs deep: baguettes; paint palettes; breton shirts and berets; supercilious waiters in white aprons. Most of Paris’s charms are so obvious that it hardly requires a guide to find them; the problem is how to create an itinerary in the face of its array of museums, dining spots, historical sites and independent boutiques.

  1. First impressions: Whether you’re asking for a croissant or directions, don’t just launch straight into your request: it’s considered wildly impolite.
  2. Banking on it: Paris’s Left and Right banks are not simply demarcated by geography: they represent different lifestyles. The Left is all art galleries and upscale cafés, the Right is more varied.
  3. In vino veritas: Wine is the tipple of choice in Paris – in many bars and restaurants it’s cheaper than a soft drink. French people are partial to meeting for an apéro (a drink and a bite to eat) between 18.00 and 20.00.
  4. Do your homework: Always look online or call ahead to check that the venue you want to visit is open. Most Parisian restaurants open five or six days a week but figuring out which do when is the rub.
  5. Pick of the bunch: Paris’s pickpockets are predatory with tourists. Be particularly wary of young children bearing clipboards: it’s a distraction technique.
