5.0 out of 5 stars Bought a copy as a gift; had to buy one for myself, December 22, 2002

This review is from: Inside Paris: Discovering the Classic Interiors of Paris (Inside...Series) (Paperback)

After falling in love with Paris, I took my mother there for her 60th birthday. So, when her 61st birthday rolled around, I bought her this book as a reminder of those wonderful days. Trouble is, I didn't want to part with it so I had to buy my own copy. It's filled with gorgeous photos of the interiors of some of Paris's most-loved buildings and several lesser-known but just as beautiful. A great gift for the Paris lover or any lover of architecture, history, and beautiful spaces.
