5.0 out of 5 stars An Art Treasure, April 28, 2008

By	Artist Tom "Tom" (Muskegon, MI) - See all my reviews

This book is by far one of the very best art sketch books, like the other sketch books from Editions Didier Millet, it is printed on watercolor paper, the colors are bright and vivid. The drawings have just the right detail, and the text exciting to read. I learned about Paris, about drawing, and adding colors to my own works of art after seeing this book. This book is a must for a traveler, or just the person who wants insight to travel destinations. The pictures are so skillfully drawn and painted by Fabrice Moireau, they will fill your imagination with dreams of being in each scene. This book is a real treasure and keepsake. I think it would make a wonderful and impressive gift as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art and a Tourist's Guide, July 22, 2008

By	C. R. Ellison "Craig" (Wellington, New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A lovely collection of art on the gardens around Paris, printed on high quality paper. The book displays your favourite gardens but does introduce you to a series off gardens that would otherwise go unnoticed by the casual tourist. Highly recommended for the quality of the art work and the informal conversational tone of the writing
