The Seine; the Right Bank; the Left Bank.
Glyn is at his best when describing architecture, and when
imparting snippets of information, such as that Delacroix took so
long to complete his frescoes in Saint-Sulpice because he could
only work during services, when the music inspired him.
*TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT*
An exuberant performance by a man thoroughly at ease in the
subject.
*THE TIMES*
Anthony Glyn's Companion Guide to Paris describes a collection of
strolls along the Seine, down the Champs Elysées, through museums,
galleries and parks. Along the way Mr Glyn displays a dry humour
and a taste for salacious gossip... Descriptions of areas such as
the Ile de la Cité have a personal touch and depth not found in
competing guides. There is also a useful section on how to live in
Paris.
*THE ECONOMIST*
