Picked up The Greater Journey yesterday , but have to finish what I'm in the middle of before I start. Then I'll have to wrestle David for it!

"Dawn of the Belle Epoch The Paris of Monet, Zola, Bernhardt, Eiffel. Debussy, Clemenceau, and Their Friends" by McAuliffe. A little dry and repetitive in places but otherwise interesting and informative.

I'm going to order "Seduction" too....saw the author on some show.

I just finished The Most Beautiful Walk in the World, Paris.......I liked it but it wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. I'm now reading Paris, Paris....Journey into the City of Light by David Downie (along with my Fodor's Greek Islands guidebook ~ reading and praying that Greece doesn't default on its debt)

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
