A strong case can be made that Paris leads the world's other cities in art and cuisine, in architecture and history, in music and sculpture, in philosophy and political ferment, in nearly every other area of interest to the visitor. 

Written by longtime Paris residents Anna E. Brooke and Margie Rynn, Frommer's EasyGuide to Paris is a portable tribute to the 'City of Light' and a roadmap to creating a hassle-free trip of a lifetime.
