All for the Price of a Cup of Coffee

The book, "Cafes of Paris," offers American tourists the cheapest and, I believe, the most entertaining and comfortable way to experience Paris, especially with the weak U.S. dollar. You can sit in a coffee shop for hours - reading and enjoying Paris street life - all for the price of a cup of coffee. Inexpensive lunches can be shared with friends in the cafe's casual atmosphere. The book is extremely well organized for the sight-seer; cafes are indexed by tourist attraction and arrondissement with the nearest metro stop and the price of a cup of coffee available at a glance. And if you aren't going to Paris, read the humorous anecdotes, descriptions of the decor, and the literary history of cafe life for a vicarious mini-vacation. Revised in 2000, prices have gone up but the richness of Paris cafe life will never be out of date.

This book is the finest informational book on Paris cafes

I first had the pleasure of reading the Cafes of Paris guide book just last year as a young woman travelling to Paris for the first time. Since the book was written by my high-school English/Spanish teacher, Christine Graf, the greatest Spanish/English/French teacher of all time, it naturally was a masterpiece!! I recommend that everyone buy this book because she is forced to make her living as a school teacher, and the book is truly wonderful and has vital information for anyone who ever travels to Paris or dreams of travelling to Paris(the city of lights!!!)
