OFTEN when people visit Paris either for a short break or on business they only have a few hours to squeeze it all in. But what do you do, where do you go and how do you fit everything in before having to head off home again? That's where the handy guidebook 24 Hours Paris comes in as author Marsha Moore offers up a collection of off the beaten track places to visit in the capital depending upon the time of day. Using the same idea as her 24 Hours London book, which London mayor Boris Johnson described as a 'nifty guide', Marsha provides advice on things such as taking an early morning dip in La Piscine Joséphine Baker on the banks of the Seine. Then later in the day Marsha recommends you take a mooch around Rue Mouffetard, with its speciality shops and market, or drop in on the Baccarat Museum to be dazzled by the sparkling glass on display. Marsha has ensured each hour of the day is bursting with interesting places to discover which are rarely written about in other guide books, and the range of cafés, restaurants, museums and interesting streets to visit means there is something suitable for individual travellers and couples of all ages, as well as families with children. Each entry offers up a description of what to expect, and the hidden delights that the casual visitor might not see, as well as useful tips on opening times, full address details, metro stops and websites so you can undertake some research in advance. It's like having a Parisian in your pocket 24/7. --Craig McGinty, This French Life

Format:Paperback
Once again, Marsha Moore has delivered a spectacular and unique guide book - this time it's Paris that gets the 24 hours treatment. All the usual tourist traps are included, but the book also goes beyond these and offers a fresh glimpse into la Ville-Lumière. With interesting suggestions about what to do and where to eat around-the-clock, all relevant information is handily included (opening times, price, website details) with each entry. It doesn't matter whether you're a first-time visitor to Paris or a seasoned one, this book is definitely worth buying for some eye-opening new ways to explore Paris. Brilliant.

Format:Kindle Edition
A useful and different type of guide book. Interesting to just dip into and read as it's quite entertainingly written. An addition to a traditional guide rather than a replacement as it doesn't cover the typical tourist attractions. Fine on its own if you already know your way around Paris, have been before and want to explore the more obscure sights.
Format:Paperback
Paris can be an overwhelming place, especially if you've never been before, and no matter how much time you spend there, you always feel as if you're missing out. There's so much to do and so much to see that there's always going to be something you won't get round to. Enter Marsha Moore's 24 HOURS PARIS, a guidebook unlike any other, a completely original guide to Paris.
24 HOURS PARIS tells you what you can do in Paris at every time of the day and it includes some absolute gems you might not easily find in traditional guide books, including the Paris Sewer Museum (yes, really), the Water Bar at Colette (serving 60 "varieties" of water, apparently), dining with Parisian families in their homes (Meeting the French), night swimming at Georges Vallerey pool while gazing at the stars and watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Studio Galande, the only remaining European cinema to regularly show the movie. The beauty of the book is that Moore offers a short paragraph about each attraction; it leads me to believe that Moore has tried out all these things herself instead of just listing them. Better yet, the book is arranged by the time of the day, so you can simply flip to 9.00am, for example, and pick your activity from what's on offer.
I've been to Paris a few times and yet every page turn of 24 HOURS had me making mental notes about new and exciting things I have to do on my next visit - things that, until now, I had no idea even existed. Excuse me while I go book a flight...
