Forever Paris: 25 Walks in the Footsteps of Chanel, Hemingway, Picasso, and More Description
Take a stroll through Édith Piaf's Belleville, dine at Napoléon's favorite restaurant, and explore the late-night haunts of Ernest Hemingway, Josephine Baker, and Pablo Picasso. From the author of the best-selling City Walks: Paris deck, this lively collection of walking adventures follows in the footsteps of more than 25 of the city's iconic former residents. Throughout, Paris is seen from the intimate vantage point of those who loved it best, from the bars where authors penned classic works to the markets and patisseries where food lovers indulged. Including photos and full-color maps throughout, each walk in this book guides visitors and locals through the city that inspired some of the world's most famous artists, writers, chefs, musicians, politicians, and more.

On a recent six day trip to Paris we found this slim little volume to be a wonderful guide to some memorable walks. The directions were clear, the maps well laid out, and the accompanying text is concise enough to read while on the walk. There are many books with walks, and we had them all including Rick Steves and the Knopf city guide, but we kept going back to this book. Highly recommended.

This is a terrific book written by a smart, literate young woman who really knows Paris and how to see it.
