5.0 out of 5 stars The Paris Metro: A Travel Companion, April 9, 2002
By Tovia G. Freedman (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Paris Metro: A Ticket to French History (Paperback)
THE PARIS METRO: A ticket to French History
Susan L. Plotkin

The Paris Metro is a marvelous companion for your travels in Paris. If you can't get to Paris you can enjoy Paris by reading this wonderfully descriptive and interesting book while you stay at home. Using the architecture and art of the Paris Metro stations as a vehicle into the history of France you can travel with Susan Plotkin from the past into the present glories of Paris. The Paris Metro, a meticulously researched and well documented book, that includes drawings and photographs, entices you to travel not only to Paris, but to look at other great and small cities through the lens of their unique infrastructures. I highly recommend this book for personal pleasure as well as a gift for the travelers in your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learn French history from names of Paris Metro stops, May 5, 2008
By Paul Chummers (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
On our last three of four trips to Paris we have been thrifty travelers, relying entirely on the Paris Metro and RER to de Gaulle airport. (There is no better and cheaper way travel in Paris.) I bought this book wanting to learn about all the people and places memorialized in Metro stop names. Susan Plotkin has done an excellent job organizing the material into a chronological history of France, starting in Roman times (Alesia) all the way up to present-day Bibliotheque Francois Mitterand.
