An exciting addition to our best-selling "City Walks" series, the "City Walks Architecture: Paris" deck offers the best way for visitors and adventurous locals to experience the world-renowned architecture of the City of Light. Packaged in a redesigned deck format, 25 folding cards outline a variety of walking adventures that introduce users to such landmark architectural sites as the Eiffel Tower, the Centre Pompidou, and Notre Dame as well as lesser-known gems like the modernist Immeuble Molitor, the majestic Opera Garnier, and the art nouveau inspired Castel Beranger. Each card includes descriptive text and detailed walking instructions on one side and a helpful map and color photographs of selected sites on the other. A tri-fold intro card provides helpful information for travelers, including information on using the deck and navigating around the city, as well as an overview map of the area.
