Paris: Small Shops

Informed by on-the-ground research, Herb Lester's handy, folded guides uncover what makes a city special - its most distinctive shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, museums and galleries, whether unmissable old favourites, exciting new arrivals or overlooked treasures. Each entry comes with its own brief description, and a basic map helps the reader get their bearings and make plans.

Rare among the world's great cities, Paris has managed to hold onto many small, specialist shops - places that combine function and expertise with charm and character. The guide is a survey of these small shops, old and new, taking in 40 of the best, including stationery, taxidermy, toys, cookware, rat traps, candles, and a great deal more.

Printed on a single sheet of 100% recycled paper, these light, portable guides are an ideal travelling companion.
