Paris - the City of Light - is regarded by many as one of the most romantic cities in the world. Once a Roman settlement, Paris has developed into a cosmopolitan city of majestic boulevards, mysterious passageways, impressive monuments and unparalleled works of art. In "Insider's Paris", author Mark Cramer explores little-known aspects of a selection of the city's famous and not-so-famous personalities and landmarks. His collection of captivating stories will make you pause, think and appreciate the city in its historical totality. From freethinking philosophers to great literary minds, from the Paris of yesteryear to the friendly, close-knit ambience of the quartiers and from the brothels along Rue Saint-Denis to imposing architectural feats, "Insider's Paris" will allow you to discover - and experience - the true spirit of the City of Light.
Mark Cramer currently lives in Paris, France, with his wife and son. Prior to that, he was a journalist based in Bolivia, where he covered events relating to all social classes and subjects - from politics to sports, from indigenous customs to international business. Other titles Cramer has published with Times Editions - Marshall Cavendish include Culture Shock! Bolivia, Cuba and Havanna.
