Around and About Paris by Thirza Vallois, is one of the most beloved series of Paris guidebooks. Volume 1 featuring Arrondissements 1-7 has been updated and available now as an e-book for the Kindle on Amazon. Thirza captures the heart and soul of Paris along with fascinating histories of the city where you get a true understanding of French culture and society. I have used them to learn the history of Paris for my tours. Along with Around and About Paris -Volumes 1-3, Thirza has also written Romantic Paris and Aveyron, A Bridge to French Arcadia.
