I thought I would use this for a student tour of Paris, but never did. Still it’s a good (even if obvious) selection of the best Paris has to offer.

We used to live in Rabat, Morocco. This is a copy of the tour guide my mother used around 2001
How Rick Steves ruined tourism in France… almost.
Everyone knows who Rick Steves is, no? My first encounter with his brand of tourism was in a hotel in France on the rue cler. I was inadvertently placed in a “Rick Steves Endorsed” hotel. not a bad place but crawling with families carrying the same guidebook and having the same Parisian experience. It was quite frightening. No sense of adventure. Just follow the guide. Traveling is a personal experience and should be open to varying whims. I also don’t go to France to be surrounded by ditto heads.
A very affable and dumbed down tour guide – but I guess fits the bill for many families.
