A delightful tramp through today’s Paris with an Aussie who accidentally became a tour guide. Beginning with the eponymous stretch from the Luxemberg Gardens to St. Germain de Pres down Le Odeon, Baxter ties together today’s Paris with the 19^th century city of Baron de Hausseman, the 1920’s Paris of drinking, writing, painting and  clubbing, and the post-WWII rebuilding. A delightful and quirky set of recommendations and observations.
