Art and Paris/C’est la vie: Art Lovers Guide to Paris (Boukabou)

#TheArtLoversGuideToParis #NetGalley

This guide provided me with both nostalgic returns to places that I have visited and excitement about so many art venues that I have yet to see.  I think that it is a great resource for travelers both real and armchair.

The author starts with a brief history of art in Paris.  She begins with Charlemagne and moves on through the centuries.  This provides a good orientation for the reader.

The book is then helpfully organized by categories.  These include Museums, Foundations & Institutions; Galleries; Photography; Architecture and so on.  There are additional chapters on topics including How to Attend an Art Auction, Arty cafes, restaurants and hotels and Arty Day Trips.  Throughout there are many photographs and tips. There is truly something to be found for every art lover here.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this e-galley.  I plan to buy the print book before my next trip!

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
