See Paris with fresh eyes in this beautifully written, illustrated journey through a city that reinvents itself with each season. Whether it's your first or fifteenth visit, discover a more personal, authentic side of Paris through the changing rhythms of the year.

This isn't your typical travel guide—it's a seasonal companion that moves with the city itself. Wander through blossom-filled squares in spring, golden evening terraces in summer, crisp walks along the Seine in autumn, and quiet, frosted courtyards in winter. Each chapter reflects Paris's unique atmosphere as the seasons shift, revealing the vivid contrasts that make the city endlessly fascinating.

Written by a Rough Guides author who personally visited and photographed every location, this guide offers honest, practical insights rather than second-hand recommendations.
