An easy-to-use guide devoted to Paris, Pilgrimage to Paris: The Cheapo Snob’s Guide to the City and the Americans Who Lived There includes travel tips, main attractions, free (and nearly free) things to do, shopping, museums, churches, cafes, and restaurants. The book also provides short biographies and addresses associated with famous Americans—writers, journalists, politicians, musicians and performers, artists and architects, and several other interesting people who don’t fit neatly into typical categories—who spent time living la belle vie in the French capital.

“I used the guide to create my own ‘tour’ to see where Hemingway worked, loved, and lived; visit where Mary Cassatt painted; and where Josephine Baker performed. This unusual guide is a gem!” – Amazon Reviewer
