Summary

Completely revised and updated, featuring new entries and discoveries. This exciting series focuses on the vitality and uniqueness of the world's greatest cities. Each volume is superbly designed and produced, yet ingeniously practical, with lavish photography, easy-to-read maps, and informed and enjoyable texts. From offbeat cafes and cutting-edge restaurants to the most stylish stores, hotels, and neighborhoods, StyleCity uncovers all the special places where both locals and discerning travelers can find a vibrant urban experience. The guides are divided into two sections: "Style Traveler" identifies the most memorable places to sleep, eat, drink, shop, and relax; "Street Wise" divides the city into neighborhoods and provides convenient area maps. Elegant, chic, grand, flamboyantParis is the ultimate destination for style, in the richest sense of the word. With fashion, food, and art at the heart of French sensibility, bistros bustle with life, bars buzz with bonhomie, and boutiques brim with talent. Ideal for on-the-ground or armchair bon vivants, StyleCity Paris presents the true spirit of the French capital, seeking out the lesser-known names of tomorrow's fashion world and undiscovered culinary talents, as well as cult cultural attractions and out-of-way street scenes that teem with local life. 400 color illustrations and 6 maps.
