Publisher's Synopsis
With three of the world's top ten most visited museums within its clutch, and the Musée Picasso back on the Marais map after a five-year revamp, Paris is a contemporary city of culture par excellence. And the capital's pleasures are spreading beyond the confines of the Grands Boulevards too. From Gagosian Le Bourget to Gehry's Fondation Louis Vuitton,
21st-century Paris no longer stops at the Périphérique. Time Out Paris continues to chart the ups and downs of this most intoxicating city. With the help of local journalists, writers and experts, the Time Out Paris Guide takes you beyond the clichés - into the places where Parisians work and play, sampling the full extent of its museums and galleries, the best of its eating, shopping and carousing, the most interesting sights, strolls and excursions.
