Caché Paris: A Guidebook to Discover New Places, Hidden Spaces, and a Favorite Oasis

Molly McCord
4/5 ( ratings)
VINE Reviewer: "Best of the Independent Guides... After Rick Steves' Paris, this is the best of the bunch."

The secret entrance to the Louvre. The fascinating Parisian walk that guides you through centuries of French history in a single afternoon. Strategic advice for beating the crowds at Chateau de Versailles . Three doable, worthwhile day trips from Paris. The best parks and little-known delightful neighborhoods to get lost in as you explore one of the world’s favorite cities. And shhhh….probably many new places, hidden spaces, and a favorite oasis that even Rick Steves doesn’t know about yet.

Plus, Caché Paris reveals more intriguing secrets, including:
- How did exotic animals end up in the middle of Paris?
- Why is the Louvre composed of nine different architectural styles?
- Where can you experience an unexpected bird’s eye view of the city?
- Which Parisian park has a grotto, waterfall, and suspension bridge?
- What should you do if you experience a metro strike?
- What select nights of the year are filled with city-wide music, celebration, and dancing in the streets?

With numerous links, resources, and insider’s knowledge-based Haute Tips, Caché Paris also features French menu cards for translating popular ingredients ; a sample weekly itinerary with unique city highlights; and a variety of activities, adventures, and events so you can create a truly memorable, personable visit to the City of Lights.
