Review

"...a brilliant Paris picture, bound to delight readers, whether they know or love France or consider a first trip." -- Susan Mary Alsop, author of Yankees At the Court, The First Americans In Paris

"Apartment in Paris is by a couple devoted to France...adding their testimony to the allure of Paris." -- Polly Platt, author of French or Foe

From the Publisher

Apartment in Paris is a 157 page love letter disguised as an attractively illustrated guide book. For the reader seeking practical ho-to-do-it advice there is a wealth of useful and up-to-date information on living like Parisians in the City of Lights.

A little book that will have a big impact on how English-speaking tourists spend their vacation time in Paris.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title, Little Information, January 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Apartment in Paris, Renting, Roaming, Wining, and Dining (Paperback)

Almost useless as an aid to anyone searching for a Paris apartment. The few pages devoted to the title subject point the reader to very expensive US-based agencies and hard-to-access Paris periodicals. It does not mention the web sites of reasonably-priced (and bi-lingual) Paris rental services. The rest of the book is a charming, if unremarkable, account of various Paris neighborhoods plus a handful of easy French recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and fun, informative and portable., March 26, 1999

Apartment in Paris is not only useful but fun. Kloman takes us by the hand as we experience the restaurants and shops, sights and sounds that make Paris the very special place it has been for Americans, especially since the 1920s. The book is convenient as well as informative. Just the right size to fit easily in the pocket of a jacket.

My wife and I had only a few days on our recent visit to Paris, but enticed by the lovely illustrations we took Apartment in Paris along with us. It led us on two rewarding walks and one evening found for us a delightful, delicious and almost invisible restaurant two blocks from our hotel.
