Paris is more than just Notre-Dame and the Moulin Rouge. Edmund White invites us on a special stroll through the French capital: away from the major attractions, he takes us to dreamy cafés, hidden museums, and mysterious places like the Hôtel de Lauzun, where the young Baudelaire came and went. Following in the footsteps of great writers like Hemingway, Balzac, and Rilke, White brings the bohemian past to life while evoking the vibrant spirit of a multicultural, modern metropolis. A lighthearted approach to Paris and its way of life – and a book about the joy of wandering.
