Paris with the Lid Lifted
In the 1920s, American journalist Bruce Reynolds fled a country ruled by Prohibition, with the Great Depression looming just around the corner. Having settled down in Paris, he invites the reader to do the exact same.
This cynical travel guide urges you not to pretend that the Eiffel Tower matters more to you than a good drink and a little flirting. Instead of hitting the theater, he advises spending your days lounging in cafes and people-watching; instead of marching through museums, he suggests just drifting through the streets and peeking into windows. It sounds economical, and shockingly progressive for its time, as the tips are tailored for both men and women.
For travelers of the 2020s, this is a must-pack book before heading to France. Who knows where it might lead you?
