#7 The Most Beautiful Walk in the World, by John Baxter

Mr. Baxter lives in Paris and, among other things, gives walking tours of the city. Rather than giving detailed step-by-step routes of his walks, he dips frequently into historical anecdotes, mostly about some of Paris' famous literary and artistic denizens, as he walks around this fascinating city. He thus gives a taste of Paris and encourages the reader to discover his own "most beautiful walk in the world". Charming and enjoyable.
