FROMMER'S PARIS - 2026

Frommer's books aren't written by committee, by AI, or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We employ the best local experts to author our guides, like longtime Paris resident Anna E. Brooke. In this innovative, easy-to-carry, itinerary-based guide she shows readers how to see the best of the City of Lights -- in the smartest, most time-efficient way.
