Author, Tom Reeves offers us an special insights to enjoying the beauty and delights of the City of Light; Paris. If you wanted to visit Paris, France, wouldn’t it be wonderful if you were able to call upon a really knowledgeable friend who had spent loads of time there, and ask for advice on where to go and what to do?

American-born Tom Reeves has spent the past 17 years living in the City of Light, operating a travel service with his wife that offers specialized tours, guidance, and insights into the most enjoyable, colorful places, and vital cultural roots that comprise the heart and soul of the city. Now, to share his love of this beautiful city, he’s created a unique and highly personal book containing the very best of his traveling tips and advice about the diverse wonders of this glorious metropolis.

His new paperback, Paris Insights – An Anthology, offers up dozens of uniquely crafted and highly personalized reports that focus on neighborhood and cultural attractions in the French capital. The book allows you to identify places to go and enjoy that are well off the beaten path – places you will find fascinating but wouldn't necessarily visit unless you’d been around Paris for decades. His menu of Parisian adventures includes anecdotes about aspects of city life that only the native Parisian (or Parisian expatriate) knows and understands. Reeves shares examples that include the proliferation of stencil art on the walls in certain quarters, the wonders of the hammam at the city's grandest mosque, the locations identified in Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code, and the real guillotine that stands in a bar located near Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Tom Reeves has been a confirmed Francophile since he first traveled to France in 1975 to learn the language, see the country, and pursue studies in French literature and civilization. A native of northern California and long-time resident of Oakland, he moved to France permanently in 1992. Reeves’ love of French language and culture inspired him to create Discover Paris! www.discoverparis.net, a travel planning service that caters to American travelers seeking cultural insights about Paris.

Paris Insights – An Anthology encourages you to approach your next trip to Paris with the excitement and vigor of someone who knows a great deal more about Paris than most other visitors to the city do. This is a witty, incisive, and always informative compilation of sights, sounds, and good advice about enjoying the City of Light from an insider's vantage point. This book is a treat even for seasoned travelers who have never really understood or appreciated the incredible treasures that abound in this wonderful town.
