Paris No Left Turns

Paris isn't one city. It's twenty, and half of them never stopped voting the other way.

This is your guide to the Paris they don't show you in the media, written by a true French girl from Paris, born and raised. Eight Blue Zones to visit with confidence. Twelve Red Zones to know about before you go. Every arrondissement is rated with the Left-O-Meter, so you always know where you stand.

INSIDE:

• A district-by-district map of where to go and where to steer clear

• Hotels, restaurants and shops in the districts we recommend, with addresses and prices in dollars

• Tax-refund tips for Americans

• Scams, strike days and days to avoid

• Metro and bus tips, a short French phrasebook, and a four-day itinerary

By French Girl, a true Parisian born and raised in Paris. Written for Americans, with a sense of humor.
